QS & Estimates

Our quantity surveying process plays a vital role in project cost management. It primarily involves a systematic assessment and management of all costs related to the projects we manage and execute. We take care of the following processes as part of this vertical:

• Construction Quantity Survey for Proposals
• Detailed Quantity Estimation for Construction Materials and Consumables
• Quantity Estimation for Changes Revisions
• Final Quantity Estimate Based on Built Drawings 

We ensure that highly specialised quantity surveyors are assigned to assess project plans and specifications to determine the quantities of materials, labor, and equipment required for construction. We conduct a thorough analysis of architectural and engineering drawings, as well as specifications provided by our clients.
 
Our expert quantity surveyors also help to prepare estimates and compile a detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ), which itemises and quantifies all the project's components. This document helps to serve as the basis for cost estimation and procurement.
 
During procurement, our quantity surveyors collaborate with procurement teams to source materials, equipment, and services at the best possible prices without compromising on quality. They also ensure that suppliers adhere to contractual terms.
 
Throughout the construction phase, we help monitor and report on expenditures, keeping a close eye on any variations from the original budget. We manage change orders and valuations, assessing the impact of alterations or additions to the project scope.
 
At project completion, we are also mindful about verifying the final quantities of work completed and reconciling them with the BOQ. This process ensures that our clients pay only for the work that has been correctly executed.
 
Overall, we treat QS as a meticulous process that helps ensures cost control, maximize value for money, and ensure that all our projects are delivered within budgetary constraints.
