About Us

Quantity Surveyors, Commercial Managers, Contracts Specialists, Building Contractors

  • WHAT CAN A GOOD QS DO FOR YOU? - The Quantity Surveyor, or QS as they are known, is a key driver of project success in the building industry. Projects are by nature one-off activities involving large amounts of money spent over a short period to deliver unique products. This gives rise to a substantial cost risk for all parties which must be monitored and managed to ensure the project is delivered smoothly and that risk is shared equitably between the parties. This is where the QS comes in, ensuring the right amount is paid at the right time and that changes and claims are fairly administered.
  • WHAT CAN A COMMERCIALLY ASTUTE BUILDER DO FOR YOU? - As Quantity Surveyors, we work across many different construction projects from the smallest renovations through to the largest infrastructure projects. We understand what makes projects commercially successful and seek to implement those factors in the building projects we deliver. Accurate cost planning and estimating, sound financial management, and clear and concise cost reporting which identifies and mitigates cost risk issues early and delivers a project with a managed budget and no surprises.
  • WHAT SETS US APART? - We have practical real world experience in construction which informs our consulting services and real time cost data which supports both our consulting and construction services.
