Feasibility Cost Studies
Before committing to a site or a design, it pays to understand the likely cost. QS Built provides early-stage feasibility cost studies to help developers, landowners, and project teams make informed go/no-go decisions before significant time or money is invested.Estimating
Accurate estimating is the foundation of good project decision-making. QS Built prepares detailed, well-substantiated cost estimates at concept, design development, and pre-tender stages, giving clients confidence in their budgets at every step.Quantity Surveying
Full quantity surveying services covering measurement, cost planning, progress valuations, variations, and final accounts. QS Built ensures costs are tracked accurately and transparently from the start of construction through to completion.Procurement
Choosing the right procurement route and the right contractor materially affects a project's outcome. QS Built prepares tender documentation, manages the tender process, and provides recommendations to help clients select the contractor best suited to their project.Contract Management
Effective contract administration protects both programme and budget. QS Built manages contracts in line with standard forms (including NZS 3910 and NZS 3915), handling variations, claims, and correspondence to keep projects moving and disputes to a minimum.Construction Programmes
A realistic, well-sequenced programme is essential to keeping a project on track. QS Built prepares and reviews construction programmes, helping clients understand timeframes, dependencies, and risk points before and during construction.Review
Cost overruns are often designed in long before construction starts. QS Built reviews design documentation from a cost perspective, identifying risks and opportunities for value before drawings go to market — helping avoid costly surprises later.Have a project that needs clear, independent cost advice?
