Professional Quantity Surveying Services

I provide independent quantity surveying services for residential projects where clarity, realism, and professional boundaries matter.

My work focuses on cost definition, scope control, and decision support — not sales, not contractor pricing, and not general advice. Each service is applied carefully and proportionately, depending on the nature and stage of the project.
