What is Quantity Surveying?
"Quantity Surveying" is a critical aspect of construction projects that involves managing and controlling costs. Quantity surveyors are experts in cost estimation and financial management, providing valuable insights into the financial implications of design and construction decisions.
They prepare detailed cost estimates, conduct feasibility studies, manage tendering processes, and oversee contract administration. They also monitor project costs throughout the construction process to ensure that the project stays within budget. Quantity surveyors play a vital role in risk management, helping to identify potential cost overruns and providing strategies to mitigate them.
At Overstone, our quantity surveying services are designed to provide our clients with accurate and reliable cost information, enabling them to make informed decisions and achieve cost-effective outcomes.
