Quantity Surveying

Cost Management

At SMD we will look after your money as if it was our own. We appreciate that our clients do not have an unlimited amount of money and that a project budget has to be adhered to.

We will guide you through the whole of the construction process from the initial feasibility estimate to ensure the vision is financially viable, all the way through to the settlement of the final account.

We are proactive in our cost reporting, so that you are aware of the cost of the project at all times.

Realistic Costs

Rather than primarily using pricing books as many Quantity Surveyors may do, we pride ourselves on offering costs direct from the market, with years of consolidated relationships with local sub-contractors.

This accurate cost forecasting ensures our clients do not waste precious fees designing a building they cannot afford and ensures a closer working relationship with the design team as they do not lose faith designing the same building many times.

This relationship also brings sub-contractors who deliver great build quality and post-contract support.
