Independent Value Management · Commercial Kitchen & Bar Fit-out

A second set of eyes on your kitchen/bar equipment schedule or BoQ — before your final decisions.

I review your commercial kitchen or bar equipment schedule against a proven cost-saving playbook and hand back a clear, line-by-line report: where you can save, what each change costs in risk, and what to confirm. Independent — no design house, no supplier ties.

How it works

1

Send your schedule

Submit your equipment schedule or BOQ (Excel, PDF, even a marked-up drawing) through the form and answer a few short questions about the project.

2

I run the review

Every line is checked against years of estimating and a structured playbook: equal-or-better substitutions, scope transfers, quantity and D&I checks.

3

You get the report

A working document with the options, the likely saving, a confidence rating and an honest risk note on each line. You decide what to action.

Results

Recent reviews have returned meaningful savings without dropping capability. Some schedules have more room than others — I'll always tell you honestly which one yours is.

Figures reflect years of estimating experience across fit-out projects in Australia. Savings are estimates to act on, not firm quotes.

Who it's for

Builders & project managers
Fit-out companies protecting margin
Venue operators & hospitality groups
Estimators wanting a second opinion

Independence

I work independently — no design house, and no supplier I'm tied to. That's deliberate. The review is about your project and your budget, full stop.

Pricing

A fixed-scope audit, or a share of what I verifiably save you — so it can pay for itself. Enquire for a quote suited to your project.

FAQ

What do you need from me?

Your equipment schedule or BOQ and a few project details. Pricing helps but isn't essential — I can run an indicative review from an equipment list alone.

How long does it take?

Usually a few business days, depending on the size of the schedule.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. Your documents are commercial-in-confidence and never shared. Every example on this site is anonymised.

What if there's no pricing in my schedule?

You still get a full opportunity register with indicative ranges; firm dollar figures need the priced BOQ.

Are the savings guaranteed?

They're estimates to act on, not firm quotes — verify current supplier pricing before tender. I flag the risk and what to confirm on every line.
