We Create Value

"I don't believe in work. I only believe in creating value" - James Blacker

Gary believes that the maximum benefit of quantity surveying, cost planning, and cost estimating is realised at the project's inception (concept or preliminary stage), and sometimes even before this - during the 'lightbulb moment .

Whether you're planning a new house, renovation, extension, an industrial development, office building or a childcare centre, every building should be considered a 'one-off,' and the early design stages can make or break a project budget. This is when critical decisions have the most significant impact on cost and feasibility.

Once these decisions are made, further value is created by monitoring and managing costs throughout the design process and providing proven quantity surveyor cost reduction strategies to maintain project budgets and feasibility.

Personal Service and Engagement

“If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur” - Red Adair

It's not just about cost estimating. It's about managing costs and relieving you of headaches during your construction project. It's about understanding your project and providing you with the expert advice and support you need.

We achieve this by fully engaging in your project and extracting maximum value from it using proven estimating, value engineering and other quantity surveying techniques. This will help you make more informed design and cost decisions.

When you engage us, you will be in direct contact with Gary all the time. He will personally oversee every aspect of your project, and all services are performed and prepared locally.
