Construction Cost Consultants & Estimators

At Red Quantity Surveying we supply professional construction cost consultancy as well as industry training to working builders. We offer our clients an expert project evaluation service that helps them take back control of their profit margins. We also provide industry-leading workshops to imbue builders with the basic quantity surveying skills and knowledge to improve the efficiency of their business and to ensure they get the maximum return from each job.

What Our Construction Cost Consultants Can Do

Our construction cost consultants are available at any stage of a project whether you have already started construction or you are developing your next build. Our services include but are not limited to:

• Preliminary budget estimates - Used in situations where a builder is working with the customer from the beginning of the project, where there are no plans or only very basic concept plans.
• Element Cost Estimates - Used in situations such as setting the pre-tender budget expectations based on the most accurate project description. Element cost estimation is very often used in negotiated contract situations.
• Fully Tendered Jobs - This service is useful when a fixed price has been requested either with or without contract documents. Competitive pricing is assumed, based on the quantity surveyor’s advice, to ensure the pricing matches the marketplace.
• Materials or Labour Schedules - A materials schedule outlines the ordering of supply items for the project. A labour schedule will outline a labour-only price for a project when requested by a client.
• Contract Admin Services - This is generally post-contract work performed once the project is live. This could consist of processing progress-claims, variations and schedule extensions.
• Peer Reviews and Custom Packages - We review and to provide feedback on pricing already completed by the builder as a high-level check.
• We can also combine any or all of our service options in a custom-built package to accommodate the needs of your clients.

Working With A Construction Cost Estimator

Over our many years working directly with builders it has become clear that, alongside providing our much-needed estimation services, a large part our job was to educate our clients as to how to conduct their businesses more efficiently. Calculating margin percentages correctly is something that most builders take for granted. When we performed this simple but essential task for our clients, we were struck by how many of them were shocked to learn of the money they had been leaving on the table job after job. We noticed that absolutely no one was offering any similar such educational opportunities to builders, so we decided to fill this gap in the industry. Our seminars and workshops provide a platform for builders to learn how to protect themselves from the predictable and the unseen expenses they can encounter on a job. Fostering success in our clients continues to be one of the most significant aspects of our business today.
