Quantity Surveyor Brisbane

Our Quantity Surveying Services in Brisbane

We can pick up a project at any stage, or run cost management end to end.

1. Feasibility & Cost Planning

   Before you commit, we test whether the numbers work. Elemental cost plans built from real Brisbane rates tell you what the scheme costs and where the money goes, so you can adjust the design while changes are still cheap.

2. Bills of Quantities & Tender Documentation

   A measured BOQ puts every tenderer on the same scope, so the prices you get back are genuinely comparable. It removes the guesswork from bid analysis and takes the scope-gap arguments out of the job before they start.

3. Tender Review & Contractor Selection

   We assess submitted bids line by line against the documentation, flag underpriced items that will come back as variations, and give you a written recommendation you can put in front of a board or a lender.

4. Progress Claim Assessment

   We check what the contractor has actually built against what they have invoiced, and certify the amount properly payable. You pay for completed work, not for optimism.

5. Variation & Change Assessment

   When scope moves — and it will — we price the change independently and confirm whether the claim is valid and the rate is fair before it lands in your budget.

6. Cost Reporting Through Construction

   Regular cost reports showing committed spend, forecast final cost and remaining contingency, so a problem shows up in a report months before it shows up in your bank account.

7. Final Account Settlement

   We reconcile the whole job at completion — contract sum, variations, provisional sums, prime cost items — and negotiate the closing position so the project ends cleanly.

Do I Need a Construction Estimator or a Quantity Surveyor?

They overlap, but they answer different questions. Most Brisbane clients need one clearly more than the other.

Quantity Surveying Built on QLD Rates and QLD Contract Conditions

South East Queensland is building hard, and that pressure shows up in prices before it shows up in any index. Infrastructure and the 2032 Games pipeline compete for the same trades, plant and materials that residential and commercial builders need, and the effect runs from the CBD out through Logan, Ipswich and the Coast.

The conditions here also drive real cost. Flood overlays along the Brisbane River and its creeks change floor levels, footings and insurance. Wind region ratings step up as you move north along the coast and feed straight into structural and cladding costs. And renovating a raised Queenslander — restumping, building in underneath, working around timber that was never square to begin with — prices nothing like a slab-on-ground job.

Then there’s the contract layer, which is genuinely different in Queensland. The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act governs payment claims and, on qualifying projects, requires project trust accounts and retention trust accounts. That changes how money moves through the job and how claims must be handled. We assess claims against the contract and the programme so you respond within time and on solid ground.

Independent numbers. QLD rates. No surprises at final account.
