Commercial Surveying in Hove
Managing a commercial build requires more than just construction knowledge. You need experienced professionals who can navigate budgets, contracts, regulations and timelines with precision. At GCC Sussex, we offer commercial surveying services that give you full control over the financial and contractual side of your project ensuring it runs smoothly from concept through to completion.
Whether you're developing office space, retail premises, mixed-use units or refurbishing existing property, our commercial surveyors provide the clarity and structure you need. We work closely with developers, landlords, architects and contractors across Hove to deliver accurate cost plans, manage procurement, and safeguard your investment at every stage.
Strategic Cost Management from Day One
In commercial construction, margins matter. We help you take control of your costs from the outset with robust, realistic budgeting based on real market conditions. Our early-stage cost advice helps you assess project feasibility and plan with confidence, whether you're preparing to secure funding, seeking planning approval, or entering detailed design.
We offer cost plans that reflect the true scope of your project not just headline figures. By breaking down pricing for materials, labour, preliminaries and overheads, we allow you to make informed decisions and maintain commercial viability throughout the build.
Contract Advice and Procurement Oversight
Clear contracts protect your project—and your investment. Our commercial surveyors provide advice and documentation that ensures every party understands their obligations. We support procurement by preparing tender packages, running contractor selection processes, and helping you secure the right services at the right price.
We regularly advise on JCT and NEC contracts and can tailor our approach depending on the size and complexity of your project. Once on site, we continue to administer contracts, handle payment applications, and resolve any contractual issues that may arise keeping your project on track and your relationships productive.
Monitoring Progress and Controlling Costs On Site
Once your commercial project in Hove is underway, we provide structured cost monitoring and financial reporting to keep everything aligned with your original budget. Our role includes valuing works in progress, assessing variations, and reviewing contractor claims to ensure you only pay for completed, agreed work.
We keep you informed with clear, jargon-free updates and help you manage any changes in scope or programme. If unexpected challenges arise such as inflation, design changes, or supply delays we’ll work with you to resolve them in a way that protects both timelines and cost certainty.
Risk Management and Project Confidence
Every commercial build carries risk, but the key is how it’s managed. At GCC Sussex, we help identify potential financial and contractual risks before they impact your project. From planning delays and tender challenges to disputes and cashflow concerns, we provide straightforward, practical advice designed to minimise disruption.
Our approach is proactive, not reactive. By staying closely involved and acting quickly when issues arise, we help you avoid costly surprises and make decisions with confidence.
