Verification of work completed against loan facility budgets
Cost-to-complete assessments
Identification and reporting of variations or budget overruns

From early feasibility estimates through to fully priced tender submissions, we bring accuracy and commercial discipline to the pre-construction phase. Our cost elementals allow design teams to make informed decisions, optimise value, and avoid costly surprises once building begins.

Concept and feasibility cost estimates
Elemental cost plans at each design stage
Material and labour quantity take-offs

Tender Review & Expert Witness

Contract Quality Surveying provides independent assessment of tender submissions and expert quantity surveying advice for construction disputes and legal proceedings.

Our tender review service gives clients confidence that submitted prices are reasonable, complete, and reflective of current market conditions — helping to avoid expensive gaps or discrepancies that surface during construction. We assess tenders objectively, drawing on up-to-date knowledge of labour, materials, and subcontractor pricing across New Zealand.

Where disputes arise, our team provides clear, well-reasoned expert evidence based on contract documentation, industry standards, and measured fact. We act for contractors, developers, subcontractors, insurers, and legal representatives.
