Built around the realities of delivering grounds contracts.
Tender documents and operational reality rarely arrive in the same tidy spreadsheet. GroundsCost exists to reconcile them before a contractor commits.
Practical scrutiny, supported by structured analysis.
GroundsCost combines systematic document analysis with review shaped by practical UK landscape-management experience. The aim is not to generate a mysterious bid figure. It is to make the workload, assumptions and commercial risks visible.
Specifications, site schedules, pricing sheets and contract documents are considered together. Operations are normalised into an auditable workload; missing quantities and conflicting requirements are identified; labour, machinery, travel, materials and overhead can then be tested using the contractor’s own assumptions.
GroundsCost is independent. It does not represent buyers, procurement portals or government, and it does not provide legal, tax or employment advice.
See the illustrative health check to understand the format and level of reasoning.
From procurement pack to commercial decision.
Compare the specification, schedules, pricing workbook and contract terms. Identify missing or conflicting inputs.
Turn quantities and frequencies into workload, then apply the contractor’s resources, costs and margin.
Record assumptions and risks so the contractor can bid, clarify, reprice or walk away with a reason.
