An in-house quantity surveyor, open book pricing, and two prices before you sign.
The person who prices it works for us.
Quantity surveying prices the build before you sign, then controls its cost. We are NU Projects, design and build in Fulham SW6 since 2010. Matt Coverley, our in-house quantity surveyor, measures and prices every project. A budget estimate comes first, then a cost plan priced line by line. Call 020 7731 6841 to talk the work through.
Matt Coverley is our quantity surveyor. He works in house, not as a subcontractor. He measures, prices and controls cost on every project.
We price twice. A budget estimate comes first, usually within seven days. A detailed cost plan follows, built line by line from the drawings. Provisional sums are named, never buried.
That second price is the one you hold when you sign. Valuations, variations and payment certificates follow, from the same team, through the build.
Kimberly, in Chelsea, wrote that it came in “on budget and on time.”

What does a quantity surveyor do for a private client?
Our quantity surveyor develops cost plans, measures and prices the work, and compares tenders.
Financial changes are tracked throughout the project. The role can also cover valuations and final account support, depending on your appointment.
When can the construction price be fixed?
Price certainty improves once surveys, coordinated drawings, specifications and responsibilities are settled.
We identify and allocate any remaining unknowns. We never describe a price as fixed without setting out what that covers.
How are cost changes tracked during construction?
We keep a live forecast. It separates the original sum, approved variations and pending decisions.
It also shows allowances and remaining exposure. Money already paid is not the same as the forecast final cost.
How fast is a budget estimate?
A budget estimate is typically ready within seven days. It comes from your brief and the property.
