Our Key
skills can be broken into Four Main Categories;
Typically
this is the period where a Quantity Surveyor can add significant value to a
project, through our detailed knowledge of the industry, local market
conditions and global influences. Along with providing advice on costs of
material and labour, we are also able to assist with procurement system
selection to best suit a particular project and how best to ‘Package’ a
project to maximize a client’s benefit. Typical services offered are; ·
Cost planning ·
Estimating ·
Financial Estimate checks ·
Procurement recommendation ·
Contract Advice ·
Alternative construction materials / techniques In
this period, we are able to provide valuable assistance to clients and
builders alike, and prepare 'Bills of Quantities' which allow a competitive
and uniform tender basis. It is has been researched and published that
'Bills of Quantities' can save between 2 and 4.2% on the tender as well as save
considerable time in the administration phase. We believe this to be a
conservative estimate, especially in a buoyant market, when it is
difficult to obtain tenders. Typical Services offered in this phase are; ·
Bills of Quantities ·
Schedules of Quantities ·
Builder’s Quantities ·
Trade Packages ·
