3 reasons why a Quantity Surveyor should be more than an abacus

Trusted numbers AND valued insights

The cost planning process comprises the production of a cost planning reports, and the use of these reports to manage your project to a successful completion.  The reliability of the cost plan report depends on team expertise and process quality. The true value of the cost planning process comes through the application of skilful insight to these tools, by your quantity surveying partner.

Adding value - no matter the project size

The cost of a project is the sum of its component parts. This truism applies to projects both large and small. Intimate understanding of the interplay between component costs, and their impact on total cost, is fundamental to successful project outcomes. It enables the identification of risks and opportunities and the development of successful, on-budget strategies which retain design integrity.

Team quality makes the difference

A great team is more than assembling the right skill sets, it is their focus on a common goal, i.e. your goal. They need to ask how they can best contribute to project success  and make a positive difference, from the first phone call until the final certificate is issued.
