Cost Planning & Quantity Surveying
The numbers that steer a project from concept to completion.
What this service covers
Quantity surveying is the backbone service we've built the practice around. We produce elemental cost plans through RIBA Stages 2 to 4, bills of quantities and pricing schedules for competitive tender, and post-contract cost management right through to final account.
Our cost plans use RICS NRM1 for pre-contract work and NRM2 for measurement, and we benchmark against BCIS and recent tender returns from active West Sussex projects. That local grounding matters — a Chichester conservation-area conversion prices differently to a Crawley industrial fit-out, and generic UK-average rates hide that variation.
Post-contract we handle interim valuations, variation costing, change control, contingency drawdown reporting and final accounts. Cost reports are written to be read by non-QS decision-makers: clear enough for a homeowner, defensible enough for a lender or an audit committee.
Typical deliverables
- Elemental cost plan (RICS NRM1)
- Bill of quantities (RICS NRM2)
- Pricing schedule for competitive tender
