  • Benchmarking of cost data and design metrics across all projects to support cost planning and provide context to board of current schemes in pre-contract stages
  • Explore London specific cross regional standardisation and sharing of cost data, benchmarking, and design metrics to provide greater understanding of the wider market and what 'excellent' looks like. This would involve working with other regions to collaborate and share to benefit the wider business
  • Collation of final account data to understand historic risk expenditure and feeding this back to front end cost planning activities
  • Upskill cost planning teams on presentation tools and cost plan templates to drive consistency and clearer understanding across the business of build cost data, risks, opportunities, design metrics and benchmarking
