Quantity Surveyor Perth

Our Quantity Surveying Services in Perth

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 Perth 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 Perth clients need one clearly more than the other.

Quantity Surveying Built on WA Rates and WA Contract Conditions

Perth costs behave differently to the east coast, and pretending otherwise is how budgets fail. The resources sector competes directly with construction for the same trades and plant operators, so labour rates here move with the mining cycle rather than with a national index. Materials carry east-coast freight or import lead times that don’t apply in Sydney or Melbourne. And a project in Bunbury or Busselton prices differently again once you factor in travel, accommodation and the thinner local subcontractor pool.

There’s a procedural layer too. Progress payments in WA operate under the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act, which sets strict timeframes for payment claims and responses. Missing a deadline can cost you the right to dispute an amount. We assess claims against the contract and the programme so you respond on time and on solid ground.

We cost apartment developments, commercial builds, fit-outs and detached housing using current WA rates, not national averages. That’s the difference between a cost plan that survives contact with the market and one that doesn’t.

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