Quantity surveying services for contractors across Scotland and the wider UK.
Quantity surveying support is available where a project needs wider commercial review, Bills of Quantities, cost planning, measurement support, or clearer commercial structure alongside estimating.
QS Support
Practical quantity surveying input for projects that need more than a price.
This service is best suited to contractors who need stronger commercial support than a one-off estimate alone. It can include BOQs, cost planning, measurement support, tender review, and general commercial input where the requirement reaches beyond a standard estimating brief.
Quantity surveying sits alongside the estimating offer for projects requiring broader commercial visibility, more structured quantities, or a wider cost-planning view.
Typical Scope
Where quantity surveying support is commonly useful.
The exact QS requirement can vary, but the service usually fits commercial review work where cost structure, measurement, and project visibility need to be clearer.
Cost Planning
Commercial input on early-stage budgets and cost planning where better cost visibility is needed.
Measurement & Review
Measurement support and wider commercial review on projects where the pricing route needs more structure.
Who It Is For
Built for contractors who need broader commercial support.
- Contractors needing BOQs, cost planning, or wider project pricing review.
- Commercial teams requiring clearer cost structure before submission or procurement.
- Projects where estimating and quantity surveying need to work together.
- Teams operating remotely with issued drawings, schedules, and tender information.
Relationship To Estimating
Estimating remains the lead offer, with QS support where needed.
For many enquiries, estimating is still the first step. Quantity surveying becomes more useful when the project requires broader commercial review, structured quantities, or more detailed cost planning across the job.
The guide on how estimating services are priced is a useful starting point where the scope is still being defined.

Quick answers on QS support and delivery.
Can quantity surveying support be provided remotely?
Yes. The service is designed to work from issued information, drawings, and project documentation shared digitally.
Is this only for large commercial projects?
No. While QS support is useful on larger work, it can also help on projects where cost planning, BOQs, or commercial review are needed on a smaller scale.
Should I enquire about estimating or quantity surveying first?
If the main need is pricing work, start with the estimating page. If the requirement is broader and more commercial, this page is the better route.
