Quantity surveyors are an important cog in the construction industry machine. We strive to provide guidance and expertise, and this ensures your project is completed on time, and with maximum cost efficiencies targeting a best value outcome.
In this article, we will explain how a quantity surveyor can keep your project on target, and why you canāt do without us.
Why Should You Hire A Quantity Surveyor? Ā
Our role as quantity surveyors in the building and construction industry is to always ensure professional cost advice, from project inception to completion and beyond, providing thorough and accurate cost management (including design stage estimates and measurements, value engineering, procurement and post contract services) for your project. We are uniquely qualified to understand how a project cost comes together which in turn requires a full understanding architectural design and engineering plans, regulations and building standards. We combine this with listening to and understanding your needs, as well as asking exhaustive questions of our Clients and design teams, and the result is your peace of mind and successful completion.
Regardless of how much experience you have, any high investment project comes with risk. Likewise, all projects have āspinning platesā; itās not always possible to have eyes on every one of them. We are your extra pair of eyes, and the good thing is, we step in and steady the course if we see stormy seas ahead or even if minor adjustments are required to achieve a best value outcome.
Whether itās assessing and adjusting budgets, or reviewing project timelines, we are here to ensure your building project is achieved. When you feel overwhelmed, we provide you with a clear analysis of your current situation as well as projections.
We are your safe pair of hands.
Contract Management
Itās one thing to find the resources to carry out your project, but itās another to manage them. A good quantity surveyor has the training and experience to manage your contracts. We can negotiate where necessary and raise issues if we discover any. Reading endless paperwork may fill you with dread, but for us itās second nature.
You focus on the things youāre good at and let us do the same.
How a Quantity Surveyor Can Save Your ProjectĀ
The reality is that if you choose to hire a quantity surveyor at the outset, there will be no saving to do, but should your project run into trouble we can get things back on track. Our multi-faceted skills and expertise together with industry-wide contacts enable us to see the clear path through to the finish line.
