Our Quantity Surveying Services

Why use a quantity surveyor on your project?

A good quantity surveyor is a vital role in any construction project. We bring the skills to deliver your build on time and on budget.

​

At ZSKay Consulting, we offer a range of professional quantity surveyor services across all sectors, including commercial, education, healthcare, public sector and residential.

Our expert advice on construction costs, and experience in managing project budgets, brings value for money and saves you the time and stress of negotiating the process alone; freeing you up to focus on other things.

​

The personal touch is what our clients say they love about using ZSKay. We will take the time to really get to know you and to understand your priorities.

​

We can work with you from the start to end of your project, or slot into a wider programme of work. The choice is yours and we’ll tailor a package to suit your needs.

​

Here are some of the ways we can help:

Pre-Construction

We’ll tailor a package that’s right for you.

Construction Pre-Planning

Before your build begins, we will:

​

  • discover what matters most in the timing, cost and quality of your project

  • set a budget that matches the work required

  • set realistic timescales

  • cost the design

  • lead the process to source contractors to suit your project, using our detailed knowledge of the industry

  • procure the project at the right cost

  • put contracts in place to make sure everyone is getting a fair deal when buying goods and services

  • maximise value for money; analysing compliance, legal and project documentation, budgets and deadlines

  • set up work processes to minimise the risks of unexpected issues

  • clearly explain the end-to-end construction process and demystify any confusing industry jargon

  • resolve any questions you have about finances, contractors and contracts before construction begins

  • be open about our working process at all stages – we value transparency.

​

We believe that projects run more smoothly with the right preparation.
