Are you about to submit your development application (DA) to your local Council and required to provide a Cost Summary Report for DA? You have come to the right place.
NSW Councils refer to these reports by various names, including Council QS Cost Report, Council QS DA Cost Report, Registered Quantity Surveyor Cost Summary Report, Detailed DA QS Reports, Quantity Surveyor DA Reports, NSW Council DA Estimates, Council Cost Estimate, among other variations.
The good news - these are all the same type of reports and we can do them all for any project type, for any council.
A cost summary report for a development application (DA) is a document usually prepared by a registered quantity surveyor. It provides an estimated cost of a development project based on the information provided in the DA submitted to the local council. These reports provide a summary of the construction costs for the proposed project in accordance with the specific definitions and requirements of the council. .
