Quantity Surveying Services
Our Quantity Surveying services ensure that project costs are carefully managed from the outset and throughout the build. Whether working in-house or alongside an external QS team, we take a design-led yet cost-conscious approach, offering clarity and control at every stage. Our services include:
Cost planning and budgeting – Providing early-stage cost estimates and helping to align the brief with the available budget. We assess different design options and advise on where value can be optimised without compromising quality.
Preparing a Schedule of Works or Bill of Quantities – Setting out a clear, itemised breakdown of the scope of work to support accurate pricing, tendering, and ongoing cost control.
Tender analysis and contractor selection – Reviewing tender returns to ensure quotes are realistic, comprehensive, and aligned with the project scope.
Contractor negotiation support – Advising on provisional sums, exclusions, and any pricing anomalies to help secure fair and transparent contract terms.
Valuations during construction – Assessing the value of work completed at agreed intervals, ensuring payments reflect real progress and quality on site.
Cost management of variations – Reviewing contractor claims for additional works, and advising on whether proposed costs are reasonable and justified.
Final account agreement – Verifying the final project cost against the original contract and approved variations, ensuring the client only pays for what has been delivered.
We offer Quantity Surveying services in-house where appropriate, maintaining a close connection between cost control and design intent. On certain larger or more complex projects, we also work with an external consultant QS team, ensuring clients benefit from specialist expertise while retaining a cohesive, well-coordinated approach across the project.
