Quantity Surveying
Quantity surveyors are the backbone of a construction project. One of the key factors in the viability of the projects is funds.
As quantity surveyors, we are responsible for estimating the cost of construction projects from initial estimates to detailed cost breakdowns and ensure construction costs are managed as efficiently as possible. We aim to deliver cost targets on budget and our cost control is achieved by ongoing cost analysis and regular cost reporting. Our approach is driven by a real commitment to maximise returns on our client’s investments.
Effective cost planning will help to ensure that, once a realistic estimate is agreed between the parties, everything that follows is in accordance with it, from the successful contractor's tender to the final project cost. Constant monitoring means that the risk of overspending can be seen at an early stage and prompt action taken.
Our goal is to meet the primary objectives and to provide the best possible services resulting in projects being completed both on time and within budget exceeding the client's requirements. We recognise the overall importance of providing realistic cost advice and information that will benefit the client and contribute to the overall success of the proposed project.
