Established in Ireland in 2024We set up in 2024 as a hybrid quantity surveying firm, giving contractors, developers and architectural firms across Ireland, the UK and Europe practical, commercially driven support. Client relationships, senior coordination and commercial oversight sit in Ireland and the UK. Measurement, estimating and project support run from our dedicated delivery centre in Sri Lanka.
We know the commercial pressure on construction right now. Our job is to help you manage cost, work efficiently and keep projects on track.
To be a globally recognised leader in quantity surveying and commercial management, setting the highest standards of quality, reliability and professional excellence.
To provide accurate, efficient and cost-effective quantity surveying and commercial management services that help you make informed decisions, control project costs, minimise risk and achieve successful outcomes.
We do it through technical expertise, innovative technology and consistent quality assurance.
In construction, I believe that technical expertise, sound commercial judgement and attention to detail are essential to delivering successful projects. These are the principles on which I founded SwiftCore, and they continue to guide the way we work with our clients.
With over 15 years of experience in quantity surveying, contract and commercial management, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects across Ireland, the UK, the UAE, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Before establishing SwiftCore, I spent four years with John Sisk & Son Ltd, and my wider experience includes major developments such as the Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences in Dubai. I also hold a Master's degree in Construction Project Management and a BSc (Hons) in Quantity Surveying.
Every measurement package follows the same six-step production workflow. Follow a sample plan as it is scoped, measured, checked and issued, while the bill of quantities builds beside it.
