Cost Benefits

 

Among other savings and modifications to the scope of works, we were able to provide savings by using pre-insulated pipe rather than the specified materials. Savings amounted to some 3% (approx. £5000 pa) of the project costs and reduced the on-site time by 24 hours (2 working shifts). The project came in on target cost without requiring any use of the contingency figure.
