Quantity Surveying

Highly effective cost and procurement advice.

We see our role as quantity surveyors as being a central, driving force within the design team. By utilising our commercial skills and established procedures in a highly collaborative manner, we ensure the absolute commercial success of your investment in your built assets.

From inception through to the final account, we appreciate that no two projects are identical. We provide independent, tailored cost consultancy across a variety of construction sectors to guarantee your project is delivered precisely on budget.

Meeting your individual requirements

Our Quantity Surveying services

We focus on identifying your specific needs and implementing rigorous processes to meet your individual commercial requirements. We encourage all key participants in the project delivery process to actively contribute to cost control during every stage of the development.

Pre-Contract: Estimating & Procurement

We establish project viability early and drive the procurement process to secure the best market value.

Estimating and Cost Intelligence: Conducting Order of Cost exercises to establish viability and set robust budget allowances. We examine provide detailed estimating and cost planning throughout the design stages.
Tender Action: Delivering strategic procurement advice and managing the entire tender action process.
Contract Award: Chairing contractor interviews, reporting precedent to award, and deriving robust, watertight contract documentation for engrossment.

Post-Contract: Delivery & Financial Control

Once on site, we rigorously protect your budget and ensure you only pay for the true value of works completed.

Interim Valuations: Conducting regular, accurate site assessments to establish the true value of works complete, alongside a rigorous review of the Contractor’s entitlement to variations and claims.
Cost Reporting: Providing transparent, tailor-made cost reporting to suit your exact needs.
Final Account: Providing fully detailed, highly auditable final accounts, and completing all necessary professional, technical, and financial audits and evaluations.

Strategic Value & Risk Management

We do not just count costs, we actively engineer risk out of your project while enhancing its final value.

Value Engineering (VE): Adding genuine value to a finished project, not simply cutting costs to the detriment of quality. We ensure VE workshops actively engage the entire design and engineering team.
Risk Management: Providing precise commercial quantification of recognised project risks, and identifying and implementing effective mitigation measures to protect your contingency fund.

Why Choose Frankham as Your Quantity Surveyor?

The Multi-Disciplinary Advantage

When we run a Value Engineering exercise, we don’t have to guess if a cheaper material is structurally viable; we simply ask our in-house engineers. This saves weeks of design delays.

Proactive Cost Management

We don’t just report on costs after they happen; we actively focus on the specific cost drivers pertinent to your discrete project to proactively manage construction spend.

Tailored Reporting

Whether your board needs a one-page high-level summary or your finance team needs a granular cashflow forecast, we build our reporting around your operational needs.
