Industry Experience
We prepare, submit, and negotiate valuations in line with JCT frameworks - keeping payment flow steady and reducing friction. Once in motion, value recovery becomes predictable, and payment delays are less likely to disrupt operations.
On the variation side?
Variation Orders or Instruction (JCT) are documented and submitted, commercially justified and on schedule.
Verbal site instructions are captured.
Change is recorded.
Margin stays safeguarded against untracked scope.
In order to keep cost control on track, regular CVR reviews and forecasts are reconciled against actual cost, to flag drift early and protect project margin.
Live updates mean numbers reflect reality, not guesswork.
Client-side expectations?
Internal accountability?
Commercial position?
All perfectly aligned, delivering clarity where it matters most.
When delays start to pose a commercial risk, entitlement is secured through Loss & Expense claims, in accordance with JCT procedures.
Delay events and cost impacts are captured early - backed by supporting records, critical path data, and clear cause-effect narratives aligned with contract clauses.
Every claim is built around clear entitlement - designed to withstand scrutiny, minimise exposure, and preserve negotiation power.
We manage subcontractor accounts from tender review to final accounts - giving you full-cycle oversight and tighter control over margin drift.
Subcontractor claims are reviewed in order of exposure, keeping overpayments and cost leakage in check.
With downstream spend under control and commercial exposure reduced, internal teams gain back time for high-value decision-making.
At Blue Lion, we prepare detailed Bills of Quantities that break down materials, labour, and work elements using standard measurement rules like NRM2 or SMM7, depending on your project.
Our BoQs create a clear foundation for tendering and keep cost planning and forecasting on point.
We proactively flag any design gaps with timely RFIs to prevent delays and disputes, tailoring every BoQ to fit your project’s unique needs.

Peebles
After the Grenfell tragedy, the industry faced urgent demands for safer buildings. Blue Lion brought expert support to a vital cladding upgrade in Peebles, helping the client respond to pressure from insurers, residents, and the council. We provided project management, pre-construction administration, and main contractor tendering - ensuring safety and compliance at every step.
Fishermead
Blue Lion supported the delivery of purpose-designed modular homes built from converted shipping containers, offering temporary accommodation for families in urgent need. Designed for up to two years of occupancy, each unit provides access to support services, helping tenants transition toward long-term housing and improved employment opportunities.
Top 10 International Bank
For the past 15 months, Blue Lion Consultants has supported a Tier 1 UK Contractor on a major refurbishment project for a Top 10 International Bank’s London headquarters - managing subcontractor costs and final account negotiations with the client side.
Hazel Park
We provided commercial and surveying support on Hazel Park, an affordable housing scheme featuring high energy efficiency, air source heat pumps, and low-carbon construction. Every detail of the build was focused on lowering long-term costs for residents while contributing to a more sustainable local community.
Our commitment to clarity extends to structured, clause-referenced delivery - built for practical application and shaped by decades of contractor-side experience. Documentation is prepared to support stakeholders’ decisions with precision and provide the confidence to act on every submission.
Blue Lion supports commercial, industrial, and residential £2m-£30m+ developments nationwide. Whether engaged from pre-tender or mid-delivery, we remain focused on protecting margins and restoring commercial control.
