Services
Quantity Surveying
Our quantity surveying services provide precise cost analysis and budgeting for construction projects. We specialise in construction finance reports, progress drawdown assessments, and risk mitigation for financial institutions. With decades of experience, we ensure compliance with AIQS standards and deliver tailored solutions for developers and architects.
Tax Depreciation
We prepare comprehensive tax depreciation schedules for residential and commercial properties. Our reports cover 40 years of deductions, including capital works and plant and equipment. By leveraging ATO-approved methods, we help property investors maximise tax refunds while ensuring compliance with current legislation.
Cost Planning
Our cost planning services assist in setting realistic budgets during project design phases. We provide elemental cost breakdowns, trade-by-trade analysis, and option comparisons. This ensures projects remain financially viable from schematic design through to development approval, minimising risks of budget overruns.
Council Cost Reports
We prepare council cost reports to determine Section 7.12 contributions for development applications. Our team specialises in EDC calculations, compliance with NSW planning regulations, and streamlined reporting. This ensures accurate cost assessments for local councils and developers across all project types.
Strata Services
Our strata services include defect inspections, bond inspections, and maintenance scheduling. We act as SIP building inspectors and provide expert guidance for shared facilities management. These services ensure compliance with NSW strata laws and help maintain property value through proactive maintenance planning.
