Welcome to Project Quantities
At Project Quantities, we offer comprehensive quantity surveying services tailored to meet the specific needs of clients throughout New Zealand. From precise material measurements and labour reports to detailed cost estimations and peer-checking services, we provide a wide range of solutions that ensure accuracy, transparency, and cost-effectiveness at every stage. Our team of experienced quantity surveyors are dedicated to helping homeowners, project managers, contractors, and suppliers achieve cost efficiency and project success.
Material Measurements & Labour Reports
Our material measurement service involves taking precise and accurate measurements from your building plans, known as a "material take-off." We then create a comprehensive schedule of quantities, listing the materials needed for each trade, such as carpentry, concrete, and roofing. We also offer a labour and materials report, which allows you to estimate the price of both materials and labour for your project. These reports are incredibly beneficial for homeowners and contractors as they provide essential insights for effective budgeting, procurement, and project management.
Ballpark Figure Costing
When you're in the initial stages of project planning and have basic plans or a conceptual idea, our ballpark figure costing service provides valuable insights into the potential costs of your project. We can provide you with per-square meter estimates based on factors like location, number of storeys, floor size, and historical data analysis. This 'ballpark figure' helps you gauge the feasibility of your project and assists in budgeting decisions. It's a valuable tool for homeowners, architects, designers, main contractors, and builders.
Preliminary and Detail Cost Estimates
Our preliminary and detailed cost estimate services are tailored to provide accurate cost breakdowns based on your project's level of detail. For preliminary estimates, we use basic drawings and information to separately measure each building element and estimate costs per square meter. As the level of detail increases, our detailed cost estimates include comprehensive pricing for all trades involved, utilising market averages or your specific rates.
Peer Checking & Bank Reports
For contractors and subcontractors who prefer to do their own estimates, we offer peer-checking services to review and validate their work. This ensures accuracy and provides peace of mind without the need for a full-quantity surveying service. We can also prepare detailed bank reports if/when your bank requires an independent cost assessment from a professional. This report supports your finance application process and particularly benefits homeowners and owner-builders.
