Answers to popular and early stage questions
If you're wondering what a Quantity Surveyor does and could do for you? Here is a few samples of what I am asked most often.
“When should I get a QS involved in my project?”
○
“The earlier, the better. We can add the most value right at the beginning —
during the planning stage. That’s when we can spot overspending risks, check if
your budget matches your goals, and give you confidence before builders are
even involved.
“Can you help me stay on budget during my build?”
○
Absolutely, that’s our jam. We can provide ongoing cost management throughout
your project. That means keeping an eye on variations, checking progress claims
from your builder, and helping you make smart decisions when changes pop up.
“What will I get from you at the end of the process?”
○
“Depending on what you need, we’ll give you a detailed cost estimate, quantity
takeoffs, or pricing breakdowns you can share with your builder. We also talk
through the results, so you feel confident in every decision.
“What exactly does a Quantity Surveyor do?
I help you figure out how much your
project should cost, before you start. From early cost estimates to detailed
breakdowns and checking builders’ quotes, we keep your project on track and
avoid nasty surprises.
I like to think of this as your financial construction Blueprint for the entire build.
