ABOUT US

Our role is cost control! - for YOU ! 

Whether you are building your house yourself, a commercial building, or even a subdivision, we can help.

From a quick check of costs to see if your idea is within your budget, to more detailed estimates, through to tenders and supplier quotes so you are in the financial loop - as it were. Not wondering if you are paying too much or getting value for money.

Let us become part of your next exciting build project.

 Kevin Marks from Measure Twice is expert at providing genuine and accurate estimates, ensuring projects run smoothly,
and that the final structure behaves exactly as it should. While taming difficult sites and full project management are Kevin’s specialties, he’s often called on by fellow professionals to collaborate on projects at short notice to help meet critical deadlines and keep projects moving. Kevin’s credentials and contacts ensure you get the appropriate design solution that performs properly and costs what it should.

PLAN TO SAVE...

Time and money!

Measured Twice’s pragmatic approach to planning ensure every minute detail has been checked, double checked and reviewed well before any construction begins. Being fastidious, regardless how small the detail promotes an efficient construction and mitigates costly hold-up and last minute changes. We work closely with our contractors and suppliers, giving them the information they need to cost accurately and efficiently. When unexpected events do happen we focus our resources on a fast resolution to prevent delays.
