What Do You Need?

Budget Planning For New Builds

From drawings at any stage of design, from a concept or sketch drawings to detailed consent drawings, I can work out an all-inclusive cost estimate. This is based on current market and real-world rates and will hit the target on a whole other level than rough estimates or quotes.

Construction Cost Checks

I can check material quantities allowed in any quotes you may be questioning. That can also extend to labour hours for builders and fixed prices or rates in comparison to current rates I come across every day.

Quantity Surveying Services

From development budgets to reports for finance approval, variation valuations and Progress Payment Certification during construction and more. I have you covered.

Budget Planning For Renovations

They can be tricky things renovations. Different to a new build, there are additional considerations such as demolitions and altering the remaining structures to allow connections to the new additions. All very technical,but i know what to allow for and the cost implications many others overlook or simply won’t price for.

Comparing Quotes

When comparing quotes you may wonder why the bottom lines are so different. I can highlight the differences, discrepancies and missing items to make your job of selecting a supplier, contractor or subcontractor easier.

Tender Pricing

From selecting subcontractor quotes, checking allowed carpentry hours, checking contract documents and even value engineering alternatives to give your tender that edge over the competition.
