What We Do

Our team provide construction cost advice and quantity surveying services from inception through to completion, ensuring your project is delivered with the highest level of cost certainty and value for money possible.

Working closely with our clients, we manage our cost consultancy, quantity surveying and services through a series of gateways; proactively controlling forecast cost and expenditure against budgets to completion. As projects evolve, we maintain regular communication and transparent cost advice. This open relationship will give you the confidence that we are driving your project forward and achieving cost targets whilst managing risks and changes. Detailed value engineering exercises can be undertaken to guarantee best value.

We can adapt the services we provide to suit your needs and budgets. Our services cover both JCT and NEC contracts, and single and two-stage tendering. The team hold significant experience in a range of sectors, framework types, and procurement routes. Using our knowledge and experience, we will ensure the most effective tender process is chosen for each individual project.

Valuations and Cost Certificates

Our teams can carry out site valuations and assessment of applications and variations, providing remeasurement services or ensuring the required substantiation has been provided. The necessary payment documents will be completed to comply with contractual duties and within the required timescales.

Testimonial

“The Bills of Quantities were delivered complete, on time, and to an excellent standard. With Concertus providing a multi-disciplinary consultancy service on this project, the added benefit was the Quantity Surveyors could liaise directly with the designers to iron out any discrepancies prior to issuing the Bills. We also found the Quantity Surveying team very responsive when queries were raised, proactive and user-friendly. We look forward to working with them on future projects.”
