Procurement Cost Engineering Project Controls Risk Management Progress Reporting Insurance Claims

The truth is in the results Outstanding commercial result on rapidly changing project GRC was appointed by a Tier 1 Contractor to provide quantity surveying support on an $800 million infrastructure project in the Surat Basin. The project experienced rapid growth and continuous change. Essentially, the scope doubled on a hard dollar contract. GRC captured change on the project so that our client could recover all financial entitlements. This involved identifying contractual entitlement and quantity and cost change, negotiating commercial entitlement, and administering change in the field. Our team assisted in generating 800 head contract variations, 150 individual delay causing events, a substantial number of inclement weather claims, along with insurance claim work, progress reporting and subcontract administration and procurement assistance. Our client praised our team’s ability to communicate and negotiate with key stakeholders and control the change management process to deliver an outstanding commercial result. GRC continues to work with this contractor on major infrastructure projects throughout Australia.

Working remotely delivers greater efficiencies Since 2015, GRC has been delivering accurate, logical and timely cost management services on a complex $1.1 billion road infrastructure project in New Zealand - with most of our project team working from the GRC Brisbane office. By combining the latest technology with a collaborative work methodology (supported by regular site visits) we are delivering a quality service and greater cost efficiencies in a flexible and transparent way. Client feedback shows that we regularly exceed expectations on this project.

Comprehensive remeasure secures additional revenue GRC was approached by a Tier 1 civil contractor to remeasure a large infrastructure project to maximise revenue. GRC’s first action was to confirm the quantities the contractor had been claiming against were too low and not reflective of completed work. We then carried out a comprehensive remeasure, using the contractual method, to identify and create new items. This remeasure allowed the contractor to claim the correct quantities and secure additional revenue.
