'In the current volatile construction and economic environment, it is more important than ever to get reliable cost advice' - Gary (Founder, CPP Quantity Surveyors)

Quantity Surveyor North Coast NSW

Why Cost Estimating Advice is Important

Construction costs can vary a lot across regional NSW — every area has its own quirks when it comes to pricing. Things like local market conditions, labour and material availability, and even how remote the site is can all make a difference. Other factors include the size and complexity of the build, bushfire or energy requirements (like BAL and BASIX), council rules, the quality of the design, and the kind of builder you’ve got access to. All of these can impact your bottom line.


Cost estimating and quantity surveying are a key part of any project as they help both owners and architects make sure the job is doable financially and runs smoothly from start to finish. 


FOR OWNERS

These services give you a clear picture of what your project will cost, so you can plan your budget realistically and avoid nasty surprises. With a breakdown of where the money's going, it’s easier to stay on track and keep spending under control. You’ll be able to make smarter choices about materials, design and construction methods, and prepare for any cost changes along the way. It’s all about making the most of your budget and keeping your project aligned with your financial goals. 


FOR ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS & OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

Cost estimating and quantity surveying help keep design ideas in line with the budget. They give you realistic figures early on, so everyone—architects, owners, and builders—is on the same page from the start. That means fewer surprises, fewer headaches, and less risk of having to go back to the drawing board. It also makes it easier to explore smarter, more cost-effective options without losing sight of the overall look, function or quality. Basically, it helps turn great ideas into practical, buildable plans that actually stay on budget.

Quantity Surveyor North Coast NSW - FAQ

Please reach us at contact@cppqs.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A Quantity Surveyor (QS) is a qualified expert in construction costs and construction cost management. 


A QS usually has a degree in applied science, construction management, engineering or construction economics and is a member of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS). Their role is to provide advice on construction costs and undertake cost management services from project inception all the way to completion and sometimes beyond.


Quantity Surveyors also prepare specialist reports such as council DA estimates, estimates for bank loans, insurance replacement cost estimates and legal reports. In addition, many quantity surveyors also work in the building side as construction estimators providing cost estimating services.


Certified Quantity Surveyors (CQS) are bound by the AIQS Code of Conduct and assess all construction cost matters in  a fair and impartial manner. This is why banks, local councils, lawyers & accountants require that a CQS prepare cost reports, estimates and assessments. CPP Quantity  Surveyors does not take sides in any matter, but provides an unbiased opinion based on years of experience on hundred of different projects across the country (and the world).


In the current volatile construction climate, it is crucial to obtain accurate cost advice from an experienced quantity surveyor.


CPP Quantity Surveyors remains up to date on market pricing, labour availability, cost increases and building trends. We also have access to other experts who can verify or provide advice on specific project issues.


Gary, the director & founder of CPP is a certified & fellow grade (FAIQS) registered member of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS). Gary is also often called on to provide independent advice under the AIQS Presidential Appointment process.



An Estimated Development Cost (EDC) Report  (also referred to as a "Registered Quantity Surveyor Detailed Cost Summary Report") is a report prepared by a Certified Quantity Surveyor that is registered with the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS). The EDC Report is prepared in a specific format and in accordance with regulated requirements for NSW Councils. The report provides an estimated development cost in a format required by the council and NSW Department of Planning so that they can calculate the applicable fee contributions. 


Regulations require that Quantity Surveyors prepare these reports and estimates once they reach a certain development cost threshold. We prepare compliant reports for all NSW local councils.


At CPP Quantity Surveyors we provide cost estimating services on projects ranging from small home renovations to small commercial and industrial developments. We'vre prepared estimates for childcare centres, fast food restaurants, public buildings, group homes and more. No project is too small. We have provided cost estimating services on several hundred projects so have the experience required across a multitude of project types and sizes. 


Whether it is concept estimating services based off a sketch or detailed, pre-tender estimating services, we can tailor a format to your specific requirements.


Unfortunately, we no longer offer this service.


It depends on the size of the project and what level detail is required in the report, but to give you an idea, a council DA estimate can be prepared in as little as 24 hours (call us if this is required), but our usual  turnaround is 3-5 business days.  Larger detailed cost estimating services or quantity surveyor tasks can take longer. Timing will be confirmed in our fee proposal. Let us know if you require your report urgently and we'll try to expedite it for you.


AAs every project is unique, we tailor our fees to suit the project and your requirements. We will generally offer a fixed quote for quantity surveyor or cost estimating services once a scope of service is known. Simple reports such as a Council DA Estimate for a single level residence start at $550.


We have extensive experience in preparing specialist QS reports such as professional or expert opinion reports on the value of work completed to date by a builder, cost to complete reports, insurance rectification estimates and other legal, insurance and accounting reports.


Yes – we’ve completed reports for councils and clients in over 100 regional towns. Our remote process ensures accuracy without needing a site visit. an answer to this item.
