CSQS Ltd · Quantity Surveying · Est. 2020

A construction consultancy built by construction people.

We are a specialist quantity surveying practice on the South Coast, pricing, measuring and advising on residential and mixed-use projects across the South East — and quietly building the software helping the rest of the industry do the same.

§ 01 — Our story

Worthing, 2020. A small practice with a simple conviction.

Quantity surveying is a craft worth doing carefully — and there is always room for a practice that prices what is drawn, lists every assumption, and writes documents that a site manager would actually read.

CSQS Ltd was founded in 2020 by Julius Windels AssocRICS, after years working both sides of construction: measuring for contractors, pricing for developers, watching projects succeed when the numbers were honest and stumble when they weren't. The practice was built around that experience.

From our office on the South Coast, we now work with residential developers, main contractors and architects across the South East. Mostly housing. Mostly mixed-use. Always independent — never tied to a supplier, a procurement route, or a particular form of contract.

We've stayed deliberately small. It lets us answer the phone, iterate quickly, and write every document ourselves.

How we work.

Our documents go out the door fast. We'd rather ship a priced Bill of Quantities on Thursday and refine it against your feedback than polish it silently until Monday — that's how projects actually move.

We measure to NRM2 as standard, and adapt pragmatically where a brief calls for a different structure. Assumptions live on the page, never hidden inside a rate. Our standard OH&P is 30%, flexed where the work warrants it.

Communication is direct. No preamble, no throat-clearing, no generic language. We write what we know — and we're always happy to pick up the phone.

What we produce.

We also build software

CSQS Ltd are the developers of Olive — an AI colleague for construction.

Alongside our QS work, we build software. Olive is an autonomous assistant for construction professionals: one email in, a priced BoQ, a risk register or a contract review out — the same kind of documents we produce by hand, delivered in minutes.

Olive is what happens when a quantity surveying practice decides to automate its own craft. It carries our methodology, our assumptions-first discipline, and our voice.
