Think of Quantity Surveyors as the commercial backbone of your project. We’re the people who keep a close eye on your budget, help you make smart decisions, and ensure every pound you spend moves the project forward. Our services include:

  • Budgeting and cost planning
  • Forecasting and estimating
  • Tendering and procurement advice
  • Monitoring progress and valuing work
  • Managing changes and risks
  • Resolving disputes and settling final accounts

In short, we help keep your project on track! Financially and contractually, so you can focus on the bigger picture.

 

Our Approach: More Than Just the Numbers

At Adkins Consultants, we don’t just track costs, we find ways to optimise them. Our team combines years of experience with fresh thinking to deliver smarter, leaner, and more resilient projects. Here’s how we make that happen:

  1. Feasibility & Strategic Cost Planning

Before you even break ground, we help you understand your project’s viability with in-depth feasibility studies and cost planning. We assess everything from materials and methods to procurement routes, so you can make confident decisions from the start.

Our goal: Align your design with your budget from day one to avoid costly surprises later.

  1. Procurement & Tender Support

Getting the right contractors and suppliers on board is critical. We guide you through the tendering process, making sure it’s fair, competitive, and transparent.

Our goal: Secure the best value for money without compromising on quality or delivery.

  1. Live Cost Monitoring & Performance Tracking

During construction, we provide real-time cost reporting and cash flow forecasting, so you’re never left in the dark.

Our goal: Identify risks early, take action quickly, and keep everything financially on track.

  1. Change Management & Risk Control

Change is part of construction, but it doesn’t have to derail your budget. We help manage variations and unforeseen issues without compromising your timeline or quality.

Our goal: Make sure every change is understood, accounted for, and managed properly.

  1. Project Close-Out & Final Accounts

When your project wraps up, we make sure all the financials are settled clearly, accurately, and with no loose ends.

Our goal: Wrap things up smoothly and maximise final project value.
