SERVICE

Design & Quantity Surveying

We review drawings and specifications to spot buildability risks early, then support value engineering and cost estimating so owners can decide with clarity and control before construction starts.

What we do:

  • Review architectural and engineering drawings/specs for constructability and site constraints
  • Advise on appropriate materials, alternates, and design implications
  • Support value engineering to reduce cost without compromising quality and structural integrity
  • Prepare cost estimates for the overall construction scope of works
  • Prepare a preliminary schedule and flag scope items likely to cause delays
  • Compare contractor/owner timelines and identify early alignment gaps
TYPICAL DELIVERABLES
  • Constructability review notes and recommendations
  • Preliminary cost estimate/budget range
  • Value engineering options and cost impact summary
  • Early risk notes (scope/time/cost)
  • Preliminary milestone schedule assumptions
OWNER BENEFIT

Earlier cost clarity and constructability checks, better decisions with fewer redesigns and surprises.

Schedule Management

Schedules only work when they’re realistic and actively managed. We review contractor/vendor plans, track actual progress versus schedule, and flag slippage early, so owners stay protected from avoidable delays.

What we do:

  • Review schedules submitted by contractors, vendors, and suppliers; recommend adjustments
  • Consolidate schedules into an owner-aligned work plan for approval
  • Monitor actual work vs. approved schedule and recommend corrective actions
  • Review requests for schedule adjustments and provide recommendations for approval
  • Document schedule risks from contractor/vendor omissions or constraints
  • Promptly advise owners in writing on risks that may delay completion
TYPICAL DELIVERABLES
  • Approved baseline schedule/milestone plan
  • Progress vs. plan tracking (weekly/bi-weekly cadence)
  • Schedule risk flags and recovery recommendations
  • Schedule change review and approval support
  • Key dates tracker (critical milestones + handoffs)
OWNER BENEFIT

Realistic timelines and early slippage visibility, fewer delays, tighter coordination, and better control of milestones.

What we do:

  • Assist contractors in setting up their Construction Quality Control (CQC) group
  • Monitor the CQC group’s inspection of work on the project
  • Witness/monitor testing of materials and equipment
  • Conduct regular coordination meetings with owners and contractors
  • Receive/inspect materials and equipment delivered to site
  • Monitor progress to ensure consistency with approved plans/designs
  • Review shop drawings, material submittals, samples, and schedules
  • Require submission of material/equipment samples for testing and approval
TYPICAL DELIVERABLES
  • Quality coordination notes and issue list
  • Inspection/testing visibility records (as applicable)
  • Submittal log + review comments (shop drawings/materials)
  • Site observation notes and corrective action tracking
  • Materials/equipment acceptance notes
OWNER BENEFIT

Earlier issue detection through QA/QC visibility, less rework, cleaner punch lists, smoother turnover.

  • Identify potential problem areas; recommend preventive/contingent actions
  • Enforce safety programs developed by the contractor based on contract conditions
  • Ensure contractors/subcontractors understand safety responsibilities and liabilities
  • Track contract compliance to help owners avoid disputes and surprises
TYPICAL DELIVERABLES
  • Contract administration notes + coordination minutes
  • Risk flags + recommended corrective actions
  • Site coordination tracker (constraints, blockers, decisions)
  • Safety observation notes (as applicable)
  • Execution alignment notes (scope/schedule/compliance)
OWNER BENEFIT

Stronger coordination and clearer accountability, fewer disputes, reduced execution risk, and safer site delivery.

Documentation Management

Clear records protect decisions. We maintain structured project documentation, from site records to reports and as-builts, so owners have traceability from start to turnover.

What we do:

  • Prepare and submit monthly progress accomplishment reports
  • Maintain complete jobsite records (visits, contract documents, permits, codes, etc.)
  • Track shop drawings, samples, purchase docs, materials, and equipment records
  • Document meeting minutes, communications, correspondence, deliveries, and usage logs
  • Ensure updated working drawings/specs are maintained on-site
