Thinking about your next civils or groundwork project?
When it comes to finding the right Quantity Surveyor (QS) for the job, remember there are specialists for a reason.
You’ll want to hire a Civils Quantity Surveyor as opposed to a General Contractors Quantity Surveyor to get the job done right. Take a look at some of the main reasons why.
They Know How Levels Work
A Civils QS understands the ins and outs of levels better than anyone else. Whether it’s ensuring proper drainage or achieving optimal grade, they’ve got the expertise to keep your project on solid ground.
They Know the Specifications of Foul and Surface Water
When it comes to foul and surface water, precision is key. A Civils QS doesn’t just know the specs – they live and breathe them. From channelling rainwater away from structures to preventing erosion, they’ve got you covered.
They’re Grounded in First Principles
This one is key. A Civils QS can tell you how long a certain job is going to take based on first principles. Whether you’re digging a trench or building a manhole, they’re on the ground so they know the rules of thumb for labour and plant.
They Know Their Machines
They know the difference when it comes to which machine to use on a job. A Civils QS can tell you why using a 20-tonne machine for a small trench is overkill. From excavators to compactors, they’ll match the right machine to the job, saving you time and money.
They’re Masters of Documentation
Bills of Quantities or day works—a Civils QS can tell you which best suits your project. With their eagle eye for detail, they’ll choose the most efficient method, ensuring every penny is accounted for.
They Understand Moving Dirt
A Civils QS knows their bulking factors from their shrinkage rates. They know the factors involved in moving dirt. No guesswork here. Just solid calculations and smooth operations.
They’ve Seen It All
You can quickly tell the difference between a Civils QS and an inexperienced QS. The Civils QS knows the game inside out. They’ve seen it all. You can be guaranteed they won’t cut any corners – not without meticulously measuring it first!
Conclusion
Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all QS approach when it comes to your next civils or groundwork project. With a Civils QS by your side, you’re not just getting a number-cruncher; you’re getting a dedicated professional who knows what they’re talking about.
