Specialists in MEP Services Measurement

Our Estimate and measurement services are aimed at providing detailed measurement and support services for the building engineering services sector of the construction industry, catering for both Professional Practices and Contractors/Subcontractors alike

We recognise that the industry is continually changing and evolving, with the advancement of technology and Clients ever increasing demands and expectation as to more visibility and understanding of costs. As a result, we have seen a marked increase in engagement at tender stage and the increased use of target cost and cost demonstrable forms of contract.
All of which puts greater strain on companies’ resources to administer and respond. How many times has a client reissued drawings identifying fundamental changes yet still expecting a detailed response in a very short space of time?
We can offer a level of pre-construction and construction phase support measurement service required in order to mitigate risk and maximise value.
With the risk of being time barred under certain forms of contract we can assist in the measurement of variations leaving the Quantity Surveyor to administer the day-to-day requirements of the contract.
Our expertise and professionalism allow us to be involved in all types of measurement processes required on construction projects, from conception through to completion and final account.
Our team of qualified professionals has experience across a number of sectors within the industry, including commercial, residential, retail, leisure, data centres, government buildings, hotels, healthcare and aviation.
