Imagine…….
Imagine building and construction situations where the estimating skills of an experienced, sitewise QS would help you. Perhaps you’re a subcontractor tendering for a contract, but haven’t enough time to measure the job yourself. Or you’re a contractor lacking time to check measurements. Or maybe you just want to make spot checks on a newly-arrived bill of quantities, or remeasurement is needed before submitting claims.
If you’re tendering as a main contractor and your subcontractors are overloaded, an independent QS could save you time by taking off quantities for your tender. Similarly, if works are underway, but the drawings change and remeasurement is needed for a variation account, we can help.
Saving you time and money at every stage
Whatever your measurement challenges, we can help you save time and money by providing the following:
- Take offs
- Bill of Quantity production
- Work scheduling
- Contractor’s quantities
- Quantity checking
- Material scheduling
- Remeasurement
