Why choose us?

Projects rarely fail on design. They fail on the commercial detail.

The estimate that was light. The procurement route that locked in the wrong price. The modular package that looked cheaper until the logistics arrived. FJH Consulting exists to get those decisions right early — when they still cost nothing to change.

Behind FJH Consulting is real main-contracting and development experience — not infrastructure theory, but the commercial reality of delivering buildings. Independent, senior, and accountable to your bottom line.

What I do

Seven disciplines, one commercial throughline: accurate numbers and sharp procurement, applied wherever the risk actually sits.

Programme Management

Commercial leadership across the lifecycle — feasibility, delivery strategy, reporting and stakeholder management on developments and multi-block programmes.

Quantity Surveying

Measurement, bills of quantities, valuations, variations and final accounts — to NZIQS standards, with a contractor’s eye for risk.

Estimating

First-principles and elemental estimating, feasibility cost plans and pre-tender estimates that hold up under scrutiny and through delivery.

Modular Construction Advisory

In-depth offsite expertise — buildability, package structuring, transport and craneage logistics, and true cost comparison against traditional build.

Procurement & Overseas Sourcing

Procurement strategy, tendering and supplier negotiation — including international sourcing of materials, fittings and modular components, managed end to end.

Cost Management

Budget control, cash-flow forecasting, cost reporting and value engineering that protects margin without cutting the wrong corners.

03
Modular Construction

It’s easy to buy a module. It’s harder to land one on programme and on budget.

For projects considering offsite construction, FJH Consulting covers the commercial and logistical detail that decides whether modular actually pays off.

Buildability

Package structuring so the offsite scope and the onsite scope don’t collide at the interface.

Logistics

Freight, craneage and site access modelled into the cost — not discovered on delivery day.

True cost

Honest modular-versus-traditional comparisons, including the costs that never show on the supplier quote.

Sourcing

Local and overseas suppliers qualified on quality, lead time and landed cost — currency and freight exposure managed.

04
Who I work with

Senior commercial support, without the headcount.

Developers

Scoping feasibility, controlling cost and de-risking procurement on new builds and multi-block schemes.

Main contractors

Senior commercial and estimating support on demand, sized to the project.

Clients & owners

An independent view on offsite construction — cost, buildability and logistics.

Public & private projects

Independent QS services, cost planning and procurement advice.
