Within the vast and numerous branches of construction and property management, the profession of a Quantity Surveyor (QS) may not be given the credit it deserves. Their qualifications can boost the results of the project, cost control, and financial effectiveness in general. Here at Quantum QS, we make sure our team only has professional Quantity Surveyors and recognised industry specialists to guarantee our clients professional and customised service. But is it really worth getting a Quantity Surveyor? Now, let us discuss how a QS can be of help on your project and how selecting Quantum QS can benefit your construction project.

Expertise and Knowledge

A Quantity Surveyor may be defined simply as a professional who comes to a project with adequate experience and much background information. The QS dynamically participates in all stages of the construction project from the preliminary assessments of the project’s viability to account clearing statements. This level of involvement makes sure that the expenditures are controlled, the risks are addressed and the projects implemented are done on time and within budget. An example of this particular quality is exhibited by Quantum QS, a firm that dates back to year 2001 and rolled over to be incorporated in January 2009. We are fully aware of the challenges customary to construction business and provide accurate, legal, and timely results.

Cost Management and Financial Efficiency

Cost control is, in fact, the major activity of a Quantity Surveyor. A QS accurately manages the funds for the project, ensuring nothing is wasted by keenly assessing the cost of the project and the budget. This process helps prevent overspending and ensures the project’s financial feasibility by further adopting value engineering principles. These principles promotes the substitution of materials and methods with less expensive alternatives without compromising functionality and consider options with the whole-of-life cost concept, providing years of savings on running the facilities well beyond practical completion.

Quantum QS is focused on delivering performance which encompasses satisfies the client’s ideal cost estimates and financial reports. Specifically, mechanics that have client focus ensuring that each decision that is made is with the interest of the client in mind hence increasing the efficiency and sustainability of the firm's finances, we simply become their the ears and eyes.

The construction projects are typically characterised by several challenges ranging from cost control issues to non-compliance to certain laws, codes and standards.

Which is why, choosing Quantum QS allows the clients to be confident about the results, as all the possible problems and threats are identified controlled and as such minimised.
