Our Process

At MQS we listen to our clients’ needs and offer tailored, personal 1 on 1, single point of contact relationships while using modern technology to invent the new norm by deliberately challenging the illusion of Quantity Surveyors being simply about the numbers. Focusing on providing more than just a spreadsheet, but a malleable tool that helps assist our clients to maximize their value for money and meet their project-specific budget and expectations.

We'd like to think of our Cost Plans, particularly at the early stages of design, as a malleable tool that can be adjusted and modified to suit the desired level of finish and project budget, while remaining accurate to current market conditions. To better serve our clients we offer the below as a free service as required in all our engagements:

​

• Initial "draft" issue of the report

• Incorporation of any requested changes to cost plan formatting, wording, layout etc

• Incorporation of any requested changes to material selections, fixtures, fittings, appliances, client-supplied items, PC sums etc

• Incorporation of any client supplied quotes or estimates

• Minor modifications to the floor plan that remain reasonably within the original brief/scope

• Value management of the project (i.e.: incorporating cost options, material selection changes etc to reduce overall cost)

• Issue of "final" issue of the report

• Ongoing cost advice

After construction we may also be involved with replacement cost estimation for insurance purposes and, if necessary, mediation and arbitration.
