TVA Project and Cost Management were established primarily as Quantity Surveyors to serve TVA’s Architectural offices. Since inception in the early nineties, we have become established at the forefront of the profession, within the Eastern Caribbean.
We offer clear and impartial advice providing commercial solutions to deliver your construction project within agreed cost constraints.
We take a proactive approach and work closely with the design consultants to allow us to forecast and manage costs, rather then merely report unexpected cost overruns.
Our in depth knowledge of the regional market allows us to guide you in the selection of suitable and competent contractors that will contribute to the success and timely completion of your project.
We are proud of our track record and the relationships with our Clients, many of whom have chosen to repeat the experience.
