QS & Estimating Services · Ad Hoc · Nationwide
A Quantity Surveyor on Tap.
From £35 an hour. Use us for one tender or every job. No contract, no payroll, no notice period. And because we work virtually, no postcode is out of reach.
From £35 / Hour
Pay for the hours you use, from a single hour. No minimum spend and no retainer.
No Commitment
Ad hoc, job by job. Nothing to sign, nothing to cancel, nothing sitting on your payroll.
Nationwide
We work virtually, so we price and settle jobs anywhere in England and Wales.
Nine Things a Good QS Does for You
Take all of it or take one of them. There is no package to buy into and no minimum commitment.
Viabilities
Find out whether a scheme stacks up before you spend real money discovering that it does not.
Feasibilities on developments
Early-stage costs for developers and landowners deciding whether a site is worth building out.
Tenders for new jobs
Priced properly, submitted on time, with every assumption and exclusion written down in black and white.
Tender documents for getting prices
So your own subbies all price the same scope and you can compare like for like instead of guessing.
Valuations
Monthly applications that claim everything you are actually owed, in the format the contract demands.
Variation orders
Extras valued and agreed in writing while the goodwill is still there, not argued about at the end.
Final accounts
The close of the job negotiated by somebody who settles them for a living and knows what is normal.
Claims for loss and expense
Delay and disruption set out in a form the other side is obliged to respond to properly.
Help getting paid
Payment notices, pay less notices and the statutory deadlines that decide who wins the argument.
Open to Every Trade in the Chain
Principal contractors use us for tenders and final accounts. Specialist subcontractors use us for valuations, variations and getting paid. Size is not the qualifier: a three-van groundworks firm with one difficult final account needs a quantity surveyor just as much as a contractor turning over twenty million.
Start with one job. Most clients test us on a single tender or a stalled account before they use us for anything else. That is exactly how it is meant to work.
QS by Trade · Guides & Downloads
Built Around Your Trade.
A brickwork package leaks money in different places to a plumbing package. Pick your trade for a page written around your jobs, your paperwork and your rates, with a full guide to download and keep.
QS for Brickwork Contractors
Every house type priced, every plot scheduled, every lift block-booked, so the gangs know what they are on before they start and nobody spends Friday afternoon measuring a wall.
QS for Commercial Developers
From the appraisal that decides whether a site is worth buying, to the final account that protects the return you underwrote. Cost certainty at every stage, commissioned by the job, without a consultant on a monthly retainer.
QS for Electrical Contractors
Supply and fix pricing built from measured quantities and your own buying terms, not from a software library and a hopeful guess. A number your client will favour, at a margin you can actually make, with every uncertain item stated and priced separately.
QS for Groundworks & Civils
From the PQQ that gets you on the list, to the final account that keeps what you earned. Priced by the hour, used job by job, no contract, no payroll, and nothing for your site supervisors to learn.
QS for Housebuilders
From the land appraisal that wins you the site, to the final account that keeps the margin you priced. Ad hoc, by the job or by the hour, no contract, no payroll, and nothing for your site managers to learn.
QS for Joinery Contractors
Priced at a level that wins the job and still makes money on it. Qualified so you are not carrying somebody else's risk. Managed properly once you have got it. You give clients what they need. Leave the ugly maths to us.
QS for Landscaping & Paving
Hard and soft landscaping priced labour only, labour and plant, or the lot: measured properly, tendered remeasurable, and caveated so that what is in the ground stays the client's risk instead of quietly becoming yours.
QS for Painting & Decorating
Housing sites, fit-outs and refurbishment, measured off the drawings and priced properly. Tendered on conditions that protect the rate: areas clear, swept and actually ready, preparation assessed and priced, and snagging paid for rather than absorbed.
QS for Plastering & Drylining
Housing sites and complex fit-outs, measured off the drawings and priced quickly. Tendered on conditions that protect the rate: released in single visits, areas clean, and other people's remedials paid for rather than absorbed.
QS for Plumbing & Heating
Supply and fix pricing built from measured quantities and your own buying terms, not from a software library and a hopeful guess. A number your client will favour, at a margin you can actually make, with every uncertain item stated and priced separately.
QS for Roofing Contractors
Housing sites, commercial re-roofs, slating, tiling, flat roofing and cladding: every covering measured properly off the drawings, priced from your own costs, and tendered on conditions that protect the rate when the weather and the scaffold do not.
QS for Scaffolding Contractors
From straightforward housing plots to complex designed scaffolds and everything in between. Priced to win, with the extras stated and rated rather than buried, so the hire, the adaptations and the clearing all get paid for.
