Bills of Quantities and Estimates

Bespoke Bills of Quantities and Schedules of Rates creation prices varies, but here are some examples. The fee usually relates to the number of items to describe, measure and price. So an uncomplicated job can be cheaper. I can also do speedy estimates using more generic software providing the job is not too complex and these can be done less than a day. 

• Quantity Surveying & Estimating rates start at £37.50 per hour for frequent users
• Managing Quantity Surveyor £50.00 per hour
• Claims and Dispute Surveyor £75.00 per hour

Producing a builders BQ with hundreds of seperate items, in Bill of Quantities format, for a complicated build is approximately 0.5% of the raw resource cost, and then a further 0.5% to price all the items. e.g. a £300k project would cost £1,500 and another £1,500 for pricing it. Included is a labour, plant and materials build up for each item and section. 

A straight forward extension starts at £300.
