Cost-recovery audit
A full review of your last 12 months of P&L. We map every cost into recoverable / direct / variable buckets and tell you the exact uplift % you need on next quarter’s quotes to hit your profit target.
Construction cost & commercial advisory
Construction cost recovery, made simple.
We help small and mid-sized civil and trades contractors take control of their pricing, contracts, and compliance — so every quote covers your real cost of doing business and every job leaves room for profit.

Brady Cost Management is a Queensland-based consulting firm working with civil contractors, fencers, earthworks crews, and trades businesses across Australia. We use activity-based costingto expose where you’re under-recovering — fuel, vehicles, owner salary, software, insurance — and rebuild your pricing so the next quarter’s quotes break even on overhead before they earn a dollar of margin.
Beyond pricing, we provide commercial advice, contract administration, and compliance support — the day-to-day commercial backbone most small contractors don’t have in-house.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re working flat out and your bank balance still isn’t moving, you’re probably not under-pricing materials — you’re under-recovering overhead. We fix that.
