Control Construction Costs and Deadlines with a Quantity Surveyor

When you undertake a construction project, if you’re not careful, costs can spiral out of control, contractors can let you down last minute and you can have many sleepless nights stressing over delivering on time and within budget. Before you know it you’ll be wishing you never started the project at all.

How Difficult Can It Be?

It may be tempting to manage all the project finances yourself; after all, how difficult can it be to calculate the materials and services required and when to order them? However, in just the same way as 1 degree of error in navigation can send you hundreds of miles off course, the smallest error in purchasing materials or services can have a huge knock on effect to the whole construction project in costs and timescales.

Ideally you’d employ your own quantity surveyor to undertake this role leaving you more time to manage the project from a ‘helicopter view’. However, employing your own permanent QS department with a commercial manager may be impractical and taking on a freelance QS too risky in case he or she goes sick or lets you down.

Fortunately, There’s an Alternative...

When you partner with The Surveying Consultancy you’ll have the resources and reliability of a full QS department but without the overheads and commitment of taking on additional employees. Plus, unlike a freelance QS, your project will also benefit from having your own virtual commercial manager. This means you’ll have more than just one level of support.

Not only this, The Surveying Consultancy also provide a full range of services including Cost Management, Project Management, Construction Design and Management Co-ordination and Contract Resolution should you ever need them.

The Result...

We’ll maximise your project income, minimise losses and help you deliver on time. This means you can enjoy watching your project progress, remove the stress from your life and sleep better at night. And the cost?… Rather than cost, we’d rather you look at partnering with us as a small investment with a huge return both financially and mentally.
