Strategic Commercial Support for Built Environments.
Quant Measur is a boutique consultancy providing tailored Quantity Surveying and Dispute Resolution services for the commercial and institutional sector. We help clients manage budgets, mitigate risk, and resolve disputes on complex construction and capital projects—from high-rise offices to hospitals and universities.
What we cover
Commercial services tailored to commercial and institutional projects.
We help commercial and institutional clients manage budgets, mitigate risk, and resolve disputes on complex construction and capital projects — from high-rise offices to hospitals and universities. Our experience spans Grade-A commercial offices, academic institutions, healthcare facilities, cultural venues and local authority developments. Our commitment is to ensure cost clarity, contractual integrity, and project resilience across every stage of the development lifecycle.
Quantity Surveying
Comprehensive QS services across the full commercial and institutional project lifecycle — from budget development and cost planning through to cost control, change management and final account negotiation. We provide the financial clarity and contractual control that keeps complex built environment projects on budget and on brief.
- Budget development and cost planning from inception
- Procurement and tender management
- Cost control and change management throughout construction
- Preparing and agreeing interim valuations
- Assessing and pricing variations and compensation events
- Final account negotiation, re-measurement and settlement
What you get
Financial clarity and commercial control from inception to final account — so your project delivers on its budget commitments, your client relationships stay intact, and every cost decision is fully evidenced and defensible.
Estimating
Accurate, detailed cost intelligence for commercial and institutional projects at every stage — from high-level feasibility budgets through to fully itemised Bills of Quantities. We draw on benchmark data from completed comparable projects — office, retail, hospitality, education and healthcare — to produce estimates that are commercially realistic and technically sound.
- Preliminary and order-of-cost estimates at feasibility
- RIBA Stage 1–4 elemental cost plans
- Bill of Quantities preparation for tender

- Value engineering workshops and option cost appraisals

What you get
A reliable, evidence-based cost figure that holds up at every project gateway — giving clients, funders and boards the commercial confidence to commit to the next phase of delivery.
Dispute Resolution
Expert claims analysis, preparation and defence for commercial and institutional construction contracts — covering fit-out, refurbishment, new build and mixed-use developments. We bring technical knowledge of JCT, NEC and bespoke agreements to every dispute, preparing positions that are credible, well-evidenced and focused on achieving a swift, cost-effective resolution.
- Claims analysis, forensic cost reviews and assessment
- Contractual dispute avoidance and resolution
- Mediation, adjudication and arbitration representation
- Expert witness and advisory services
- Final account dispute resolution
- Dispute avoidance strategy during construction
What you get
A technically grounded dispute position — prepared by people who understand the commercial and contractual realities of built environment projects. Solution-focused, not escalation-focused.
Contract Advisory
Clear, practical contract advice across NEC, JCT and bespoke institutional agreements — including public-private partnership (PPP) commercial support and compliance with regulatory and governance frameworks. We help commercial and institutional clients understand their contractual position and make informed commercial decisions at every stage of the development lifecycle.

- Public-private partnership (PPP) commercial support
- Compliance with regulatory and governance frameworks
