Services
We support our customers through the design and planning phase right through to the completion of the build.
We work directly with Architects and Engineers to ensure that our costs and quantities are as accurate as possible.
Quantity Surveying
Quantity surveying is a professional service which involves the management of the financial aspects of a Construction project. We’ll work with, Architects, Engineers, Contractors and clients to develop and implement cost-effective solutions for Construction projects.
We offer NRM2 reports depending on the Construction phase and bespoke reports to ensure you get the most relevant and accurate information. Our quantity surveying services include:
Cost Estimating
These are based on the gross internal floor area. These determine an estimated cost for the facilitating works, building works, main contractors' preliminaries, overheads, profit estimates and the Consultants’ fees. At this stage, there is also the option of including inflation and risk elements. This product is recommended for high level pricing at the ‘Appraisal and Preparation’ stage.
Cost Planning
Cost plans are prepared at a point where the scope of work is fully defined, and key criteria are specified but no detailed design has commenced. These are broken down into elements. Cost Estimate Level 1 will provide the frame of reference for Cost Estimate Level 2. This service is recommended for low level pricing at the ‘Concept and Design’ stage. Cost Plans evolve with the design phase and a Level 3 Plan is recommended up to the Pre-construction stage.
Feasibility
Feasibility studies are used to produce an accurate price, with assumptions on low level detailed drawings. This product is perfect for smaller projects, where the Architects package may not comprise of all the necessary information required to produce a bill of quantities, but using our experience and knowledge, we're able to fill these gaps with provisional costs.
Bill of Quantities
This is a complete breakdown of all the Costruction elements into trade specific packages. We require a full Construction pack to create a bill of quantities. This product is aimed at Project Management and Developers who intend to send trade specific packages out to tender.
