Solvix International provides cost control and cost verification services for developers, employers, contractors, lenders, project managers, and legal or commercial teams that need dependable visibility over construction cost performance. We build or review the commercial control environment, test reported cost positions against records and progress, and provide structured analysis of budgets, commitments, valuations, changes, accruals, and forecasts so that stakeholders can act on reliable information.
This service can be delivered as proactive commercial governance on live projects, an independent review of a troubled cost position, or a targeted verification exercise linked to payment, change, funding, audit, or dispute concerns.
In many construction disputes, the challenge is not simply the absence of data but the absence of structure. Critical information is spread across correspondence, schedules, notices, progress updates, payment records, meeting minutes, instructions, and technical documents. Solvix helps turn that fragmented material into a disciplined narrative and evidence base that legal teams can work with effectively.
Our methodology is evidence-led and practical. We start by understanding how the commercial system is supposed to work, then test how it actually works against live records, progress information, approvals, and reporting outputs. The result is not only a statement of what is wrong or unsupported, but a clearer route to improving control, strengthening governance, and producing more reliable forecasts.

The exact document set depends on the stage and purpose of the engagement, but robust cost-control and verification work usually depends on reliable links between budget structure, change records, valuations, progress status, and forecast logic.
Cost control focuses on the systems, reporting, and actions used to manage cost performance. Cost verification tests whether specific reported cost positions, valuations, or forecasts are actually supported by evidence.
