Quantity surveyors are the cost managers of construction. They are initially involved with the capital expenditure phase of a building or facility, which is the feasibility, design and construction phases. But quantity surveyors can also be involved with the extension, refurbishment, maintenance and demolition of a facility.
Tender documents allow more accurate pricing and tighter cost controlnto obtain competitive quotations for your complete building project, or for a single element of a project as part of your overall price, We provide detailed pricing documents in the form of Schedules of the Works or Bills of Quantities.
Our experience and knowledge of various forms of procurement and measurement standards mean we can tailor the tender documentation to suit your specific requirements.
As a continuation of our pre-contract cost planning and estimating services, our quantity surveyors provide post-contract services to ensure that contracts are managed successfully.

We can also provide support for contracts that have started to fail, helping to bring costs back in line with pre-contract estimates.
