What A Quantity Surveyor Does On A Building Project
A quantity surveyor is the commercial role on a build: the cost plan, the tender analysis, the monthly valuations and the final account, stage by stage.
Quantity surveying, extensions, conversions and renovation. Tell us about the job and we put you in contact with a trade who does exactly that work near you.


Finding a builder in London is easy. Finding one who does your kind of job, at your size, in your part of London, and who is free when you need them, is what takes weeks. Describe the work once and we pass it to a trade whose normal week looks like your project.

The trade contacts you directly, arranges to see the job and gives you their price. From that point the arrangement is between you and them, and you are free to say no.
Sending an enquiry is free and commits you to nothing. We are paid by the trade side, never by you.
We match each enquiry on the type of work, its size and your postcode, so it reaches a firm that does that job every week.
Whoever contacts you has a public record on Google, Checkatrade, Trustpilot or the Federation of Master Builders. Look them up first.
We show no star ratings because we have none yet. When real reviews arrive, they will appear here with their source. Read how we handle customer reviews.

Three steps, and the only one that needs anything from you is the first.
Step 1
The form asks for the work, your postcode and how to reach you. Detail helps: photographs, drawings, a planning reference, a rough budget if you have one.

Step 2
The enquiry goes to somebody who does that work, at that size, in that part of London. Not to whoever happens to be closest.

Step 3
The trade contacts you, arranges to see the job and prices it. From that point the arrangement is between you and them.

A short description and a postcode is all it takes to get to the right trade.

A quantity surveyor is the commercial role on a build: the cost plan, the tender analysis, the monthly valuations and the final account, stage by stage.

When a London loft conversion falls under permitted development, when it needs a planning application, and the building regulations that apply either way.

From scope and drawings through groundworks, structure, first fix and finishes to building control sign off, and what has to be settled at each stage.
We are a lead generation site. You tell us about the job you need doing and we put you in contact with a trade that carries out that work in your area. We do not carry out the work ourselves and we do not charge you for the introduction.
London and the towns around it. The areas page lists them, and the quote form asks for your postcode so the enquiry reaches somebody who actually covers your street.
That depends on the trade and how busy they are, so we do not promise a time we cannot control. Giving a clear description of the job and a phone number in the form is what gets a faster, more useful response.
No. Sending the form costs you nothing and puts you under no obligation. Any price you are later given comes from the trade directly, and the arrangement you make is with them.
What the job is, where the property is, and anything already decided such as drawings, a planning reference or a start date. The more specific you are, the better the match and the closer the first answer will be.
Yes. Quantity surveying, groundwork and refurbishment enquiries regularly come from landlords, developers and small commercial projects as well as homeowners.

Fill this in once. We pass it to a trade who does your job in your area, and they come back to you.
Submitting this form is secure. We'll never share your details with anyone else.
