The answer to this question is simple! ... 

​

We offer a 'Value-for-Money' professional service, that safeguards the commercial and financial interests of your project from start to finish!

 

Whether you are a client or a contractor, without a qualified commercial control there is an increased risk of loss of profit margin / budget 'over run'.

​

Employing a quantity surveyor is as important to a successful project as an architect, structural engineer, an accountant or a builder (Although, in many cases the QS is not engaged until problems arise, at which point its more often a case of 'damage control' and dispute mitigation). 

 

As a key part of our service we advise client's to set the necessary conditions, actions and documentation in place in the pre-build / pre-contract stage. Taking this pro-active approach significantly reduces your exposure to 'Risk' and allows a qualified cost- / value forecast and system of control to protect your financial commitments from the outset. 

​

Another key service we offer is for 'pre-legal' dispute resolution & advice and post delivery commercial intervention (i.e damage control), which unfortunately arises when a proactive commercial safeguard is not in place and additional costs / risks have already been incurred or the project is jeopardised due to a dispute.

​

In addition another important consideration, is to always be aware of is that advertised 'pricing services' do indeed give a domestic guideline to the quantified cost of a project (using current material, plant and labour rates) but this is only part of the pricing process, and it is the part that doesn't carry the risk consideration!

 

Equally, other professions and trades although they may advertise a 'pricing' or 'project management' service, this will frequently be on a generalised basis and is likely to be bias towards their own interest (whether that be on the client or contractors side of the project). Using a commercial professional (QS) is comparable to using a specialist tradesman (such as electrician, plumber, stone mason, etc), yes other trades / professionals can do the same work in most cases but they are not specialised to that purpose and in majority deliver to a much lower standard and quality, at a higher cost for the service.

 

Always use the right people for the right job to get best value and quality!!

​

We advise all of our clients that using the right professional for the right job in respect of your project (whether it be on a full time commitment or a more cost effective 'management / oversight' consultant function) you will always ensure  that 'you get the best quality at the best value'! 

​

We provide all of our client's with a focused and professional service with the determination to 'maximise profit & quality, whilst minimising cost & risk' at all times.
