Quantity Surveying
The Quantity Surveyor plays a key role in any construction project, managing the costs from the early designs right through to the project completion. Our main priority is to ensure projects meet legal and quality standards, and that our clients get good value for money.
Our main responsibilities include:
negotiating and drawing up bids for tenders and contracts
monitoring each stage of construction to make sure that costs are in line with forecasts
carrying out feasibility studies to estimate materials, time and labour costs
assessing the financial costs of new environmental guidelines, such as using timber from sustainable supplies.
providing financial progress reports to clients
advising clients on legal and contractual matters
acting on clients' behalf to resolve disputes
We use computer software packages to carry out some of these tasks, and to keep records, prepare work schedules and write reports.
