When You Need Post-Contract Quantity Surveying

  • Live construction projects requiring independent review of contractor valuations
  • Schemes where change management and commercial control need strengthening
  • Projects without in-house commercial resource to manage contractor cost claims
  • Clients requiring structured cost reporting for funders, lenders or governance bodies

How Post-Contract Quantity Surveying & Cost Control Works

Post-contract quantity surveying provides continuous commercial oversight throughout construction - managing valuations, controlling change and maintaining cost transparency to protect the client's financial position from contract award to final account.

  • Reviewing contractor valuations and recommending payment certificates
  • Assessing and managing variations, change events and contract instructions
  • Maintaining cost reports and cash flow forecasts throughout delivery
  • Tracking cost against budget and identifying risks to final outturn
  • Providing structured commercial reporting to clients, funders and stakeholders

The approach is structured, proactive and aligned with the contract, ensuring commercial management keeps pace with delivery and cost decisions are made on an informed basis.

The result is improved cost certainty, reduced commercial risk and a controlled pathway toward final account settlement.

Typical involvement includes reviewing valuations, managing change and providing regular cost reporting throughout live construction programmes.
