Driven by Excellence and Integrity
We are privileged to have worked on some of British Columbia’s premier construction projects. All levels of government, development companies, financial institutions and design consultants trust us.
Our Goal: We are committed to long-term partnerships
As a service-based company, we endeavor to create an environment of respect, trust, and honesty so our partnership with our clients can flourish.
We pride ourselves on being committed to our clients and providing the best level of quantity surveying and construction cost consulting services they deserve. We believe the client’s needs must come first and we endeavor to respond in a timely, and where necessary, innovative way to meet the expectations entrusted to us.
Our Approach: Quality work from experienced professionals
Our methodology is built on a high level of attention from senior personnel from start to finish.
At all stages of the design process, we will consult with your Design Team, so that we have a full understanding of the scope and extent of the project. We intend to integrate ourselves into your design process so that we can respond to the Clients and Design Teams questions in a knowledgeable way.
We understand the importance of early program and conceptual estimates, which provide a quick reality check for you to see if the project is affordable as currently designed, or whether an alternative solution should be explored.
