Senior-led, always

The person you meet is the person who works on your project. No hand-offs to juniors, no layers of management between you and the expertise.

Proactive, not reactive

We flag risks before they become problems and manage change proactively - protecting your budget and programme at every stage of delivery.

Honest commercial advice

Straight-talking guidance on what your contracts mean, what's at stake and what you should do about it - from people who've seen it all before.

What we cover

A complete QS service, tailored to you.

From first budget to final settlement, our Quantity Surveying service covers every commercial stage of your project. We work across various sectors and can tailor our service to suit your project’s size, complexity, or specialist requirements. Whether it’s a new build, refurbishment, or infrastructure project, our hands-on, proactive approach ensures cost certainty and delivers value from start to finish.

Cost Planning & Estimating

We produce reliable, evidence-based cost plans at every RIBA stage - giving you the confidence to commit to the next phase and the data to make informed decisions when the brief changes. Our estimates are grounded in real benchmark data from comparable projects, not just indicative rates.

$

What you get

Complete commercial clarity at every design gateway - so you never commit to the next stage without knowing exactly where you stand, and why.

Procurement & Tendering

We manage the entire tender process - from agreeing the procurement strategy and preparing Bills of Quantities through to evaluating returns and supporting contractor appointment. Our evaluations go beyond price, assessing the commercial robustness of each submission and identifying risk before contract signature.

$

What you get

The right contractor appointed on the right terms - with full confidence that the process was robust and the price is defensible.

Contract Administration

We stay actively engaged throughout construction - assessing interim applications, managing the variation account, evaluating extension of time submissions and producing monthly cost reports. You always know your financial position. We make sure changes are properly assessed, agreed and recorded before they become disputes.

$

What you get

Full commercial visibility and control throughout the build - with a clear, defensible record of every decision, change and payment.

Cost Control & Reporting

Ongoing cost tracking, change management, and clear reporting to keep projects on budget. We provide continuous commercial oversight throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring stakeholders have visibility of costs and remain aligned on financial performance.

$

What you get

Real-time cost visibility and proactive financial management — so your project stays on track and you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Final Account

We close the contract on your terms - preparing and negotiating the final account to ensure every valid entitlement is captured and every unsupported claim is properly challenged. The same rigour that defines our earlier-stage work defines our approach to close-out. Projects should finish cleanly.

$

What you get

A fully agreed, clean close - maximum value retained, no loose ends, and a complete audit trail from day one to sign-off.

How we work

A structured approach, every time.

Our QS process is methodical, transparent and built around protecting your commercial position at every stage. Click any stage below to see what's involved and what you can expect as an outcome.

Feasibility & Inception

We engage early - before significant design investment is committed - to establish reliable cost parameters. Our preliminary estimates draw on benchmark data from comparable projects across transport, defence, utilities and commercial sectors, giving clients the commercial confidence to proceed or the clarity to recalibrate the brief.

 

  • Preliminary budget estimates and order-of-cost reports
  • Feasibility cost reports with risk commentary
  • Elemental cost analysis against comparable projects
  • Risk-adjusted cost modelling and contingency assessment
  • Client-facing cost briefings and presentation support

Cost Planning

We develop detailed cost plans in parallel with design, tracking every elemental cost and flagging commercial risk as it emerges. Our cost plans are maintained as live documents, updated as design evolves, ensuring the project remains fundable and true to the original brief.

 

  • Elemental and sub-elemental cost breakdowns
  • Value engineering workshops and option appraisals
  • Cost benchmarking against completed projects
  • Cash flow forecasting and expenditure profiling
  • Monthly cost reporting to client and design team

Procurement & Tendering

We structure the market approach and manage the full tender process - from procurement strategy and documentation through to contractor evaluation and appointment. We ensure competitive tension is maintained, that contractor proposals are properly assessed, and that the right contractor is appointed on the right commercial terms.

 

  • Procurement strategy advice and programme planning
  • Bills of Quantities and Schedule of Rates preparation
  • Tender documentation issue and query management
  • Comparative tender analysis and evaluation reports
  • Contract negotiation support and pre-start meetings
  • Contract award recommendation and appointment

Contract Administration

Throughout the build phase we maintain active commercial oversight - valuing progress, managing the change control process, assessing extension of time claims and producing regular cost reports so the client always has a clear picture of where they stand financially and commercially.

 

  • Interim application assessment and payment certification
  • Variation pricing, assessment and formal agreement
  • Extension of time evaluation and recommendation
  • Risk register and change log maintenance
  • Monthly cost-to-complete forecasting and reporting
  • Subcontractor account management support

Final Account

We bring the same rigour to final account as we do to every preceding stage - preparing, negotiating and agreeing the final account to ensure every valid entitlement is captured and every claim is properly scrutinised. We close projects cleanly, protecting client value to the very last pound.

 

  • Final account preparation, submission and negotiation
  • Claims assessment, response and settlement
  • Post-contract cost auditing and reconciliation
  • Settlement documentation and account agreement records
  • Lessons learned report and project cost review

"I have always found Quant Measur to be very professional, knowledgeable and skilled in their cost control and project management abilities.

They have excellent QS skills and operate with integrity, operating with an eye for detail as well as the ability to advise on strategy. Construction projects are in a safe pair of hands when Quant Measur are assisting the procurement and controlling the finance."
