Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a quantity surveyor if my builder has quoted?

A builder's quote reflects that builder's price and scope. A quantity surveyor provides an independent cost assessment that can identify exclusions, assumptions, and gaps in the quote before you sign a contract.

Can you provide cost and value advice together?

Yes. Our quantity surveyors and valuers work together, so your cost estimates and end values come from one firm, using consistent assumptions. This gives you, your investors, and your lender a single, coherent view of the project.

Will my lender accept your reports?

Our development valuations, feasibility reviews, and quantity surveying reports are prepared to the standards lenders require to assess project risk. Each lender sets its own requirements, so check with yours before you order.

When should we engage you?

As early as possible, ideally during due diligence before you buy the site. Early advice lets you test the key assumptions, such as price, costs, and end values, before major commitments are made.

Can you help if our project goes over budget?

Yes. Our construction advisory team can review cost movements and variations, and identify alternative design or procurement options to bring the project back on track. See our construction advisory page for more.
