Procurement and project planning
The engine at the front of your development
The measured BoQ is only the beginning
P4HB gives developers, investors, house builders and contractors control of cost, procurement, programme and supply chain risk much earlier in the project.
Upload your construction drawings and project information for one detailed, QS reviewed measured Bill of Quantities including material quantities. Eligible projects will be returned within 24 hours, subject to review and acceptance of the drawings and confirmation of payment.
Where required, P4HB can take the measured information into live pricing, value engineering, procurement, call offs and delivery under a separately agreed scope.
The 24 hour period starts only after the drawings have been reviewed and accepted and payment has been confirmed.
From BoQ to delivery
Your BoQ is only the beginning
Measure it once. Use it all the way through procurement.
P4HB turns measured quantities into live pricing, value engineering, procurement and delivery, so your project can move from drawings to buying without starting again.
Live Price
Take measured quantities straight to market for current supplier pricing.
Value Engineer
Compare systems, specifications and suppliers before design decisions become expensive.
Procure
Normalise quotations, control scope and place the right packages.
Programme
Align procurement, lead times and cash commitments with the construction programme.
Deliver
Manage scheduled orders, logistics and site delivery against the build sequence.
Why P4HB
Find the risk before it costs you
Most procurement problems start long before the order is placed.
By the time a package is late, over budget or missing scope, the real mistake was often made weeks or months earlier. P4HB gets involved before that happens. We bring cost, programme, supply chain and procurement information together early, so you can see where the project is exposed before money is committed.
Cost drift
Know where the budget is moving before it becomes a problem.
Missing scope
Expose gaps, exclusions and assumptions before they become variations.
Supplier risk
Know who can supply, when they can supply and where the lead time risk sits.
Programme pressure
Work backwards from site dates so procurement does not become the reason the build slips.
Cash flow pressure
Align procurement commitments with funding and lender drawdowns before orders are placed.
Poor buying decisions
Compare scope, price, programme and risk properly, not just the cheapest number on a quote.
If you are about to commit money, place an order or lock in a design decision, speak to us first.
Protect margin before construction starts
Margin is lost before the first order is placed
Late buying, incomplete scopes, missed interfaces and poorly compared quotations all erode profit long before they show up in the final account.
P4HB gets involved earlier.
We measure the works, expose the gaps, test the market, compare the options and align procurement with programme and cash flow before major commitments are made.
Find the risk early. Protect the margin. Procure with control.

P4HB gives each part of the project team clearer cost, scope, programme and supply chain information before major commitments are made.
Developers
Protect margin before procurement decisions start locking the project in.
Investors
See where cost, scope and procurement risk sit before more capital is committed.
Funders
Improve visibility around cost, drawdown requirements and procurement exposure.
House Builders
Add procurement capability without carrying the overhead of a full in house buying team.
Main Contractors

Project Managers & Design Teams
Bring procurement and commercial reality into design decisions earlier.
Architects
Give clients clearer measured information before design changes become expensive.
Self Build

Builders

Different roles. Same problem: poor information creates expensive decisions.
P4HB gives the project team something they can actually price, compare, programme and procure from.
Talk to P4HBLive market pricing
Don’t rely on yesterday’s rates for tomorrow’s build
Your BoQ tells you the quantity. The market tells you the cost.
Once your quantities are complete, P4HB takes the measured packages to the supply chain, gathers current supplier quotations, normalises scope and builds a procurement master sheet.
Because the lowest number is not always the lowest risk.

Value engineering
Don’t save £50k on one package and lose £100k somewhere else
A cheaper package can make the project more expensive. That immediately creates tension.
Changing a construction system can affect structure, foundations, loading, wall thicknesses, façade, thermal performance, fire strategy, programme, cash flow and supplier responsibility.
P4HB tests the connected effects before an alternative is treated as a saving.

Technology + procurement expertise
Technology gets us there faster while procurement expertise guides the decisions
P4HB uses technology to accelerate measurement, information management and project workflows, while procurement decisions remain in experienced hands.
These working schedules show how project information can be structured by plot, level, location and item. This gives the team a clearer basis for checking scope, coordinating specifications and preparing packages for supplier enquiry.
Our team combines quantity surveying, construction knowledge, supplier relationships and commercial management to turn project information into decisions that can actually be implemented on site.
Technology accelerates the information and P4HB turns it into procurement strategy
Door schedules
Door references, locations, descriptions and performance requirements are organised in one traceable schedule.
Ironmongery schedules
Each opening is coordinated with the required hardware so package quantities can be checked before supplier enquiry.
Window reveal schedules
Measured returns, lengths, depths and locations are recorded to support accurate quantities and procurement planning.
