Cost Management for Home Extensions, Renovations & New Builds
Residential Quantity Surveyor Services
If you are planning a house extension, renovation, or new-build home, I provide independent residential quantity surveying services to help you manage costs, control risk, and build with confidence.
As a Residential Quantity Surveyor, I work directly with homeowners, architects, and builders to ensure construction budgets are realistic, transparent, and properly controlled from early design through to project completion. My role is to protect your budget while supporting a practical, well-managed build.
Residential QS Services
I provide flexible QS support tailored to residential projects of all sizes, including:
Cost Planning & Feasibility
Early-stage cost advice to help you understand likely construction costs, test affordability, and make informed design decisions before work starts on site.
Bills of Quantities (BOQ)
Preparation of clear, detailed bills of quantities to support accurate tender pricing and reduce the risk of cost overruns during construction.
Tender Review & Contractor Selection
Independent review and comparison of builder tenders, highlighting exclusions, provisional sums, and potential risks so you can appoint with confidence.
Cost Control During Construction
Ongoing monitoring of costs on site, including assessment of variations and contractor claims, ensuring costs remain aligned with the agreed budget.
Final Account Agreement
Support through project close-out to fairly agree the final account and avoid disputes at the end of the build.
Who This Service Is For
My residential quantity surveying services are ideal for:
Homeowners planning extensions or refurbishments
Self-build clients delivering new homes
Architect-led residential projects
Small residential developers
Whether you need early cost advice only or full cost management, services can be provided on a standalone or ongoing basis.
Why Hire a Residential Quantity Surveyor?
Residential projects often exceed budgets due to unclear scope, poor tender documentation, or unmanaged variations. Engaging a residential QS helps to:
Establish a realistic budget from the outset
Avoid unexpected costs during construction
Ensure value for money from contractors
Reduce the risk of disputes and overspends
Maintain financial control throughout the build
Independent QS input provides clarity and reassurance at every stage.
My Approach to Residential Projects
I take a clear, structured approach tailored to homeowners and residential clients:
Review of drawings, specifications, and project brief
Preparation of a clear cost plan or BOQ
Tender review and cost comparison
Ongoing cost monitoring and variation assessment
Final account agreement and close-out
This process ensures cost certainty, transparency, and informed decision-making throughout the project.
