Quantity Surveying

Cost Management

At SMD, we treat your budget with the same care and attention as if it were our own. We understand that project budgets are often limited, and we are committed to helping you achieve your vision while adhering to financial constraints.

From the initial feasibility estimate to the settlement of the final account, we will guide you through every step of the construction process, ensuring that the project remains financially viable.

Our approach to cost reporting is proactive, ensuring that you are always informed of the project's financial status and any potential risks.

Realistic Cost Forecasting

Unlike many Quantity Surveyors who primarily rely on pricing books, we pride ourselves on providing costs based on direct market insights. Thanks to our long-standing relationships with local sub-contractors, we are able to offer accurate and realistic forecasts.

This approach helps prevent our clients from wasting valuable resources on designs that might be unaffordable. By providing early and realistic cost estimates, we ensure that the design team can move forward with confidence, without the risk of having to redesign the project multiple times.

Our strong relationships with trusted sub-contractors also ensure that we deliver not only great build quality but also reliable post-contract support.

Contractors QS

We undertake the role of contractors QS, helping contractors with estimating, take-offs, valuations and final account settlements. We can also assist with disputes and claims.
