Quantity Surveying & Cost Estimation
Accurate, timely, and defensible cost advice is critical to every project decision. Our quantity surveying and cost estimation team supports owners, architects, and contractors from concept through closeout—delivering clear take-offs, realistic budgets, and transparent cost controls that keep projects on track and compliant with contract requirements.
We combine disciplined measurement with current market intelligence to de-risk budgets before tender and to manage change responsibly during construction. Our process aligns with Canadian best practices and typical contract forms (e.g., CCDC) and integrates smoothly with design coordination and value engineering to achieve the most cost-effective outcomes.
In addition, we provide tendering and procurement support, maintain a reliable supplier and subcontractor directory, and prepare cost forecasts and feasibility studies to support informed decision-making. Our team also coordinates construction progress schedules to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.
