OUR SERVICES
Please click on the links below for more information on each of our services:
Estimating and Pre-Contract Work
- Working with our in house team, our Quantity Surveyors work with you to consider and evaluate the cost and value of your project.
Post Contract – Developers, Employers and Clients
- We’ve seen both sides of a project – from the developer’s perspective, to the contractor’s point of view. Our team has a lot of experience in handling contractual matters and are able to make sure your interests are looked after. One of our founding principles is professionalism – we understand that dealing with contractors on your behalf is not just a reflection of our company values, but of yours as well. We take a personal approach with handling post-contract work. We’re hands on and incredibly focused on detail.
Post Contract – Contractors and Subcontractors
- Our team of Quantity Surveyors look after the contractor/subcontractor’s interests during the construction phase. We do a lot of the heavy lifting, financially and contractually that is.
- Occasionally there will be differences of opinion that means the parties reach an impasse. It often requires looking at things with a fresh pair of eyes which is where we come in. It is nearly always better to avoid a dispute by negotiation to resolve a problem however, we can produce detailed claim or rebuttal documents where needed. We also offer party advocacy services in Adjudication preparing referrals or responses.
- No business set outs to fail, however it can happen. We understand that. Sometimes it’s no ones’ fault; sometimes there are circumstances that mean a company is not operating at its most financially efficient or is experiencing unexpected problems. One of the biggest issues a company can face is a lack of cash flow.
