Regardless of the size of your project, our quantity surveyor will help you effectively manage your project budget through every stage, delivering accurate and robust information and advice to help you make key decisions. 


Project Feasibility

By completing an analysis of the total estimated project costs, we will give you clear visibility of the opportunities in your project for vastly improved outcomes. Our focus is to deliver you all the information you need to establish if a proposed project can achieve the profit required to make it feasible.

Estimating & Cost Planning

Cost planning optimises our delivery of your project by reviewing alternative designs and/or materials during design development. We will establish a budget to help you get value for money, while remaining compliant with the original design brief. As the design develops, we can produce more robust and flexible cost estimates that addresses scope, opportunities, risk, abnormalities and site specifics.

We work closely with our clients to ensure all objectives are met and uncompromised. IPMS can provide advice about contractor procurement and contractual arrangements that are best suited for the delivery of your project. Our thorough analysis of the submitted tenders will help you get the right people for your project and we will negotiate on your behalf to determine the most cost-efficient, fully compliant submission.
