Cawston Surveying Limited

Four Decades of Commercial Expertise

We know that in construction, the difference between a profitable project and a financial headache often comes down to the details. At Cawston Surveying, we’ve spent over four decades mastering those details. Whether you are a main contractor, a subcontractor, or a local builder, we act as your dedicated commercial partner to ensure your projects stay on track and your business stays profitable.

Maximising Value from Tender to Final Account

We don't just "count bricks." We provide a comprehensive suite of pre- and post-contract support designed to eliminate uncertainty. We help you get the scope clear at the tender stage by quantifying the work accurately, and we stay by your side until the final account is settled.

• Pre-Contract: We produce accurate Bills of Quantities and provide robust tendering support to ensure you start every project on a solid footing.
• Post-Contract: We manage the "heavy lifting" of commercial administration, including NEC change management, early warning notices, and compensation events.

Getting You Paid What You’re Owed

Is a subcontractor making substantial claims for additional work? Do you have outstanding money against your applications for payment? We specialise in resolving these bottlenecks.

Through forensic document reviews and delay analysis, we identify exactly what changed, why it changed, and the cost impact. We reference the evidence and set out the basis of entitlement to ensure you receive the amount you are rightfully owed.

Modern Tools for Modern Construction

We believe that better information leads to better decisions. We are specialists in implementing Project Dashboards using Microsoft Power BI. By transforming raw project data into visual, real-time reports, we help you monitor costs, value, and project profitability (CVR) at a glance.

"Improving the way you handle information is the easiest way to make running your business easier."
