QUANTITY SURVEYING

The main job of our Quantity Surveying team is construction cost control and therefore ultimately to save the developer money. THE MAGNATE Project Management Quantity Surveying team estimates and monitors construction costs, from the feasibility stage of a project through to the completion of the construction period and beyond if required.

• At the feasibility stage, we use our knowledge of construction methods and costs to advise the developer on the most economical way of achieving project requirements.
• We can use techniques referred to as Cost Planning, Estimating, Cost Analysis, Cost- in-use Studies and Value Management to establish and control a project budget.
• We provide a Bill of Quantities (BOQ’s) that are measured from design drawings and are essential for tendering or negotiating building costs, for progress payments, for variations and changes to the contract and ultimately for statistics, taxation and valuation.
• During construction, our quantity surveyors are called on to fairly value "Progress Payments" at regular intervals.
• They will also value changes to design or quantities which may arise by reference to appropriate Bill of Quantities rates. The contractor’s quantity surveyor/contract administrator will have prepared claims for progress payments and additional work.
• When construction is complete our quantity surveyors can produce depreciation schedules of the various project components and advise on realistic insurance replacement costs.

SUSTAINABILITY

Building construction and operation have an enormous direct and indirect impact on the environment. As economy and population continue to expand, designers and builders face a unique challenge to meet demands for new and renovated facilities that are accessible, secure, healthy, and productive while minimizing their impact on the environment. Recent answers to this challenge call for an integrated, synergistic approach that considers all phases of the facility life cycle. In its most general sense, sustainability means using resources to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
