Cost To Complete and Cost Estimates
Currently, many developments going through a DA process require a Cost Summary prepared by a registered person/s. Different local councils set different construction cost thresholds.
Having worked alongside a large number of local councils, you can rely on us to ensure a smooth and informed process.
With the increase in construction costs and building materials, many are considering updating their insurance building replacement policy.
We offer precise Insurance Replacement Reports to ensure your assets are covered. Our detailed valuations provide an up-to-date estimate of replacement costs, helping you secure the right coverage and avoid underinsurance.
From 1 October 2023, the NSW government requires all new residential and all non-residential developments to report on embodied emissions under the Sustainable Buildings State Environmental Planning Policy (SB SEPP).
As registered quantity surveyors, we can assist with completing the NABERS Embodied Emissions Materials Form to comply with legislative requirements.
Need a construction loan for your project? We prepare Initial Bank Reports and Progress Claims to keep your projects transparent and on track.
Our detailed reports provide clarity of your project to financial institutions, while our progress claims ensure accurate tracking and timely payments. Trust us to streamline your project’s deliverables.
As of 4 March 2024, the NSW Government introduced the Estimated Development Cost which supersedes 'Cost of Development' and 'Capital Investment Value'. These EDC’s can ONLY be prepared by Registered Members of the AIQS.
With a CQS in our team, we can assist with preparing these reports for all development types including State Significant Development (SSD) and State Significant Infrastructure (SSI).
Value Engineering
At SET QS Consultants, we provide VALUE ENGINEERING consultations by systematically analyzing project elements and costs to optimize overall value. This involves evaluating alternatives to achieve cost savings while meeting client requirements.
By identifying cost-effective solutions and streamlining processes, we can help to ensure that the project delivers maximum value and efficiency, ultimately benefiting the client's budget and project outcomes.
Tender Analysis
Following our cost planning services, we strongly advise clients and stakeholders to perform a detailed TENDER ANALYSIS once tenders are received. Recent industry trends, such as pricing spikes and unexpected cost increases, make this step essential.
We've also noticed more qualifications and exclusions in contractors' pricing, which can affect tender rankings after post-tender adjustments. SET QS Consultants, with our extensive sector experience, are here to support you with tender analysis and escalation advice.
