CALYPSO supports public-sector clients, architects, engineering consultancies and contractors with cost estimating, quantity surveying and cost analysis for public building projects, including both new-build and refurbishment schemes.

Public buildings are often subject to significant constraints, including functional requirements, accessibility standards, regulatory compliance, environmental performance, material durability, continuity of service, programme control and adherence to the project budget. In this context, construction cost consultancy plays a key role in supporting and securing decision-making from the earliest design stages.

Whether the project involves schools, nurseries, sports facilities, administrative buildings, cultural and community facilities or healthcare buildings, the objective remains the same: to produce a reliable cost estimate, anticipate financial risks and support technical decision-making without compromising the building’s functionality or quality of use.
