QS Cost Summary Report for DA

An Explanation

Have you been asked to provide a Registered Quantity Surveyor Cost Summary Report for DA (also referred to as a NSW Council DA Estimate)?  


We are AIQS Registered Quantity Surveyors who are experts in preparing cost reports as required by NSW local councils for DA or CC Submission.  


WHY ARE THEY REQUIRED?  


Most NSW Local Councils require a "Registered Quantity Surveyor's Cost Summary Report"  to be included as part of the Development Application (DA) or Construction Certificate (CC). Councils require this to ascertain the value of the project so the fees and contributions (EPA Section 7.12) attributable can be calculated.   We are experts in this and our service includes:-  


  • Reviewing the plans which are to be submitted as part of the DA or CC; 
  • The preparation of an estimate generally in accordance with the Australian Cost Management Manuals from the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors,
  • Calculating the development costs in accordance with the definition of the Local Council,
  • The inclusion of GST in the calculation,
  • Measurement of  Gross Floor Areas in accordance with the Method of Measurement of Building Areas in the AIQS Cost Management Manual Volume 1, Appendix A2. 
  • Populating and signing the forms required by Council  


As Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) registered and certified Quantity Surveyors, we can prepare these reports in accordance with your council's format and requirements. 


If you require a quote to prepare a NSW Council Cost Summary Report for your project, please click on the link above or email us at contact@cppqs.com.au.   


Typically, we will require the latest set of DA drawings in electronic form and the name of the local council.  


We understand that in some cases, a quick response is required. Contact us to see if we can expedite this service.
