Cost plan & quantity surveying

You should hire a surveyor as soon as you have your first drawings. They are vital for new builds, large extensions, or complex renovations. Use them:

• Before you ask builders for quotes
• To check if prices are fair
• When planning a large project budget
• If you need to save money
• To manage payments during the build

Most work happens at a desk using your architectural drawings and plans. The surveyor uses software to measure every single brick, beam, and tile. They will also:

• Visit your site at key milestones
• Check progress against the work schedule
• Verify the quality of materials used
• Match site work to your invoices
• Issue reports on how much to pay

Having a professional cost plan gives you total peace of mind. You will know exactly where your money is going every week. This service offers:

• Protection from unexpected price hikes
• Fair comparisons between different building firms
• Better control over your project bank account
• Expert advice on cheaper material options
• Stronger proof for your mortgage lender

A surveyor helps you understand the true price of your dream home. They act as your financial guard to stop costs spiralling out of control. They help by:

• Explaining material and labour market rates
• Creating a detailed bill of quantities
• Spotting hidden costs in builder quotes
• Managing changes to the original plan
• Ensuring you only pay for finished work
