Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What tools or technologies do Quantity Surveyors use in NZ for estimating (e.g. software, BIM)?
There are many that are great, and many that are very not great. We use RIB Cost-X, Bluebeam, Microsoft Excel and Outlook. And the calculator gets a fair amount of daily abuse too.
How much does a Quantity Surveyor cost in New Zealand?
Fee proposal values are specific to a scope of work and can range accordingly. Keep in mind that if you save money on a QS, you are sliding the scale away from an educated guess, to simply guessing.
Do I need a Quantity Surveyor for my renovation or small build?
It depends. Do you trust your Builder? We normally come in before the project to set expectations around costs based on your scope and region. We also offer 'post-contract' services to ensure the admin doesn't bottle neck and that theres an independant sounding board for any costs the Builder tries to suprise you with.
How accurate are QS Estimates and Cost Reports in NZ?
Anyone promising complete accuracy should be avoided. An acceptable variance on estimating work is +/- 5%, however this will vary by region eg: Christchurch has hostile ground conditions that can dramatically effect design and therefore cost.
What factors affect the price of Quantity Surveying services in different regions (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, etc.)?
It will always come back to supply & demand.
What is a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and when is it required?
A BoQ is an expensive Contract Document. It serves as a baseline for lets say the Main Contractors price for any scope changes throughout the duration of the build and can streamline admin costs for Consultants assessing variations.
How can I choose a reliable Quantity Surveyor for my building project?
Ask around and trust your gut. A reputable QS will want to make sure you make the right choice for yourself, instead of one that serves them.
How early in the design stage should I engage a Quantity Surveyor?
As soon as possible. Maximise what you can afford to build and ensure your proposed design fits within your available budget.
