FAQ
What does a quantity surveyor do for my project?
A quantity surveyor gives you clear cost numbers, checks contractor prices, and watches spending as the project goes on. We help set budgets, prepare bills of quantities, check tenders, and keep costs in line as work happens.
How often will I get cost updates during a job?
That depends on the project. I can provide regular monthly reports, milestone checks, or live reconciliation so you see costs as they happen. We’ll agree a schedule that suits your needs and budget.
Do you follow any professional standards?
Yes. I work to RICS standards and use recognised methods like SMM7 and NRM for estimating and cost plans. That keeps figures consistent and trusted by lenders and contractors.
Can you help if bids come in over budget?
Yes. I’ll analyse the bids, show where costs are high, and suggest ways to reduce price or re-scope the work. I can also support renegotiation and advise on contract options.
Who do you work with?
I work with developers, contractors, lenders and consultants. If you need clear cost advice at any stage — from early estimates to contract close-out — I can help.
