Quantity Surveying & Cost Estimates for Auckland Construction Projects
Whether you’re quoting long-run roofing, interior fit-outs, or structural blockwork, we scope it trade-by-trade and align it to what your supplier expects and your site actually needs.
We Work Like Part of Your Team So You
Can Quote Faster and Win More Tenders.
Avoid Shortfalls and Overordering
Tile layouts include cutting loss, grout spacing, and pattern allowances that impact quantity. We factor these in from the start.
Quote and Order with Clarity
Accurate takeoffs help you submit clean BOQs, reduce RFIs, and place confident orders with suppliers.
Match Supplier and Installer Expectations
We align tile sizes, trim quantities, and joint detailing with common supplier specs and tiling standards used in NZ.
Prevent Wastage and On-Site Adjustments
With breakage buffers and layout-specific allowances, your teams know exactly what to expect.
Save Time During Tendering or Fit-Outs
Our reports make quoting faster and reduce time spent on rechecking quantities or chasing product matches.

2. Can you estimate for residential and light commercial projects?
Absolutely. We work with builders, subcontractors, material suppliers and QS teams across both residential and light commercial scopes in Auckland.

Just your architectural plans and any supporting documents. You can upload them via Dropbox or Google Drive, or email us directly.
4. How fast can I get my takeoff or BOQ?
Most estimates are delivered in 3–5 working days. If we need more time based on scope, we’ll confirm that up front.
