01 · PLAN
Cost planning and estimating
Develop a structured view of likely construction cost as the design evolves, with assumptions, allowances and areas of uncertainty made visible.
Quantity surveying services
Cost advice for each stage of the build.
From an early feasibility check to the final account, the scope is matched to the decisions your project needs to make.
A proportionate scope
Use one service, or build a joined-up package.
The work below can support homeowners, developers, architects, contractors and commercial clients. A proposal will state exactly what is included, what information is needed and when advice will be delivered.
02 · MEASURE
Bills of quantities
Measured descriptions of the work to help contractors price on a consistent basis and give the project a clearer commercial record.
03 · TENDER
Tender preparation and evaluation
Prepare suitable pricing information, issue a clear tender package and compare returns beyond the headline figure—checking scope, exclusions and risk.
04 · APPOINT
Contractor procurement
Practical support in selecting an appropriate route to market, identifying potential tenderers and reaching a well-informed appointment decision.
05 · ADMINISTER
Contract administration
Administer agreed contract procedures, communications and assessments. The appropriate form of contract and role would be confirmed for each commission.
06 · VALUE
Interim valuations
Assess work completed and relevant materials against the contract so that payment recommendations are evidence-based and clearly recorded.
07 · CONTROL
Variation and change control
Track proposed and instructed changes, test their cost effect and keep the forecast visible before decisions become expensive to reverse.
08 · COMPLETE
Final accounts
Review the supporting information, resolve outstanding commercial items and work towards a clear, documented agreement of the final cost.
09 · TEST VALUE
Value engineering
Explore alternative ways to meet the brief, focusing on function, buildability, risk and whole-project value—not simply the lowest initial price.
10 · APPRAISE
Development feasibility advice
Early cost input to help developers test an opportunity, understand major allowances and decide whether more detailed work is justified.
11 · RESIDENTIAL
Renovation and extension cost advice
Plain-English budget support for homeowners, from an early sense-check through tender comparison and the assessment of changes on site.
12 · NEW BUILD
Residential and commercial new builds
Structured cost planning and commercial support for new-build projects from developing design through procurement, construction and close-out.
