Why do you need a Quantity Surveyor?

Chances are, if you are on this page then you already knows the answer to that question.

What can Halford Surveying Do For You?

We offer the following services:

  • Advise on the potential of a site and work out what a client can afford to build, known as ‘Feasibility Study’.
  • Present detailed information on the project costs on a periodic basis to enable payment for those works carried out to date.
  • Organise the division of a project into its component work packages, then award these work packages to smaller, more specialised construction companies (known as subcontractors) and, in that process, find out who offers the best deal.
  • Deal with contractual and legal matters.
  • Manage costs to make sure that the initial budget isn’t exceeded or that any budgetary decisions are made with accurate information.
  • Arrange subcontract payments and, at the end of a job, settle the final accounts.
  • Act as financial advisors and monitor progress for the client.
