Quantity surveying and building estimates in Gauteng

Know what your project should really cost before you build. Detailed bills of quantities, cost estimates and independent quote checks.

OVERVIEW

The QS edge, on your side

Most building disputes start with a vague quote. A quantity surveyor measures every part of the job and prices it line by line, so nothing important is left out and everyone works from the same numbers.

That QS discipline is built into every quote we give. We also offer it as a service on its own: if you have plans and want a reliable cost estimate, or you have a quote from another builder and want to know if it is fair and complete, we can help.

A detailed bill of quantities helps you budget, compare quotes like for like and keep control of costs during the build.

What our QS service covers

  • ✓Bill of quantities from your plans
  • ✓Budget cost estimates
  • ✓Independent quote checks
  • ✓Like-for-like quote comparison
  • ✓Variation and extras reviews
  • ✓Clear written report

FAQ

Quantity surveying questions

What is a bill of quantities?

A bill of quantities is a document that lists every item of work and material in a project with its quantity and rate. It is the most accurate way to price a build and compare quotes.

Can you check a quote from another builder?

Yes. Send us the quote and plans and we will review it for missing items, vague allowances and rates that look out of line.

Do I need plans for an estimate?

Plans give the most accurate result, but we can also give a budget estimate from sketches and a site visit.

Is the QS service only for your own builds?

No. You can use our QS service on its own, whoever ends up building.
