What we deliver

Cost under control, right through to final account.

Post-contract quantity surveying that keeps the numbers honest once work is on site, from the first valuation to a fully agreed final account.

  • Cost control and financial monitoring

    Actual, committed and forecast costs tracked against the budget throughout the build, so any overrun shows up early enough to act on.

    OutcomeOverruns caught early
  • Interim valuations and payment certification

    Regular measurement and valuation of work done, with payments certified in line with the contract, so payments reflect the work done and the contract terms.

    OutcomeFair, certified payments
  • Contract administration

    Administration of the building contract, from issuing instructions to keeping the documentation in order, so the project runs to the terms agreed.

    OutcomeThe contract runs to plan
  • Final account management and agreement

    All variations, claims and entitlements reviewed and reconciled into one agreed final account, so the project closes out cleanly.

    OutcomeA clean, agreed close-out
  • Claims and dispute resolution support

    Independent assessment of contractor claims for extra cost or time, with the review and documentation needed to settle fairly and keep the job moving.

    OutcomeClaims settled fairly
  • Variation management

    Every change assessed for cost and time, documented and agreed before it moves on, so variations are properly valued instead of turning into disputes.

    OutcomeChanges priced, not disputed

How we work

post-contract delivery process.

As work progresses, we keep you informed and the commercial details under control. From the first valuation to the final account, we help you manage costs, respond to change and resolve outstanding matters.

  1. Stage 01Set clear foundations

    We review the contract, scope and budget, confirming key obligations, payment dates and commercial priorities.

  2. Stage 02Bring the right team together

    We appoint a commercial lead, quantity surveyors and reviewers, with clear responsibilities and reporting arrangements.

  3. Stage 03Keep costs in view

    We monitor expenditure and commitments, update forecasts and highlight potential budget pressures early.

  4. Stage 04Manage progress payments

    We prepare or assess valuations, checking that payment assessments reflect work completed and the contract terms.

  5. Stage 05Stay on top of changes

    We identify and assess variations as they arise, keeping a clear record of the value, status and supporting information for each one.

  6. Stage 06Review and report

    We check commercial submissions and provide clear reports covering costs, risks, outstanding decisions and next steps.

  7. Stage 07Resolve commercial matters

    We assess claims, review contractual entitlements and support negotiations to help bring outstanding matters to agreement.

  8. Stage 08Close out with confidence

    We reconcile outstanding items, support final account agreement and bring the commercial records together for handover.

Why it pays

Why post-contract control pays off.

The earlier a cost movement is seen, the cheaper it is to deal with.

  • A cost overrun caught this month is far cheaper to fix than one found at the final account.

  • A variation valued and agreed as it happens is far less likely to become a dispute.

  • An agreed final account closes the job cleanly.

Common questions

What clients ask us first.

Can you take over a project that is already on site?

Yes. We regularly pick up projects mid-build, review where the costs and valuations stand, and take over the post-contract side from there through to the final account.

How can a remote QS certify valuations accurately?

The measurement and valuation work is delivered by our dedicated team, and every valuation and cost report is overseen and quality checked in Ireland and the UK before it reaches you.

How do you keep variations from turning into disputes?

We assess the cost and time impact of each change, document it, and get it agreed as it happens rather than leaving it to the end. Variations that are valued and signed off along the way rarely become disputes later.

Do you work on projects outside Ireland?

Yes. We deliver post-contract quantity surveying across Ireland, the UK and Europe, so you can use one partner wherever your projects are.
