It is vital to be able to forecast and control costs for construction projects as well as to accurately assess the financial impact of building defects. Surveying Solutions provide a range of cost consultancy services. A full service would include preparing estimates to help determine the feasibility and design development of a project, assessing contractor costs, controlling variations on-site and negotiating final accounts with contractors.
We also prepare cost estimates to accompany building survey reports so that potential purchasers or lessees can understand the cost of their liabilities in owning or occupying buildings. Cost estimates are also used to develop planned maintenance schedules to help our clients prioritise and plan their maintenance expenditure. We often provide development assessment and development monitoring services to facilitate commercial developments. In short we can provide assistance in almost any situation where a full understanding of the costs of building work are important.
