Early Engagement

At Provectus, we know that the biggest opportunities to reduce risk, control costs, and add value to a project happen before construction begins. By engaging early, our clients benefit from a proven approach that integrates remediation, enabling works, and ground engineering into a single, coordinated strategy.

​

Abnormal Cost Assessments

Brownfield and contaminated land sites often carry hidden risks - from unexpected ground conditions to contamination and service constraints. Our team provides high-level abnormal cost assessments at the feasibility stage, giving clients early visibility of potential risks and mitigation costs. This upfront clarity supports informed decision-making and stronger business cases for investment.

​

Tailored PCSA (Pre-Construction Services Agreements)

Provectus offers tailored PCSAs that align with each client’s objectives and programme. Through collaborative design input, regulatory liaison, and sequencing reviews, we help de-risk schemes and optimise remediation and enabling works packages. This ensures seamless integration with follow-on contractors and smooth progression from planning through to construction.

​

Risk Mitigation

Our design-led methodology identifies and addresses risks at the earliest opportunity. Whether dealing with contamination hotspots, utilities conflicts, UXO, drainage constraints, or pile mat design, we create strategies that reduce uncertainty and prevent costly surprises during delivery. By building in robust control measures, we ensure works are completed safely, compliantly, and efficiently.

​

Programme & Cost Certainty

By combining abnormal cost analysis, tailored PCSA, and proactive risk mitigation, Provectus delivers programme and cost certainty for clients. We minimise off-site disposal, maximise reuse of materials, and streamline enabling works to reduce both costs and carbon. Our integrated approach saves time, avoids delays, and ensures sites are development-ready on programme.

​

Proven Value – Cardiff Arena

Our early engagement on the Cardiff Arena project demonstrates how this approach creates real value. By undertaking abnormal cost assessments and feeding directly into a tailored PCSA, we:

​

• De-risked utilities by coordinating diversions and drainage installations ahead of programme.

• Designed and constructed 25,000 m² of piling mats to support major foundation works.

• Implemented pile probing and obstruction clearance to prevent costly interruptions during piling.

• Delivered UXO clearance and managed subsurface risks to safeguard workers and maintain progress.

• Reduced off-site disposal and achieved a 30% reduction in vehicle movements by balancing cut & fill and maximising on-site treatment.

​

This collaborative, design-led approach allowed the arena’s enabling works to progress smoothly, providing the client and stakeholders with the cost and programme certainty required for one of Wales’s most important regeneration projects.
