calculated confidence
As Construction Cost Consultants and Quantity Surveyors, Rawlinsons provides accurate, timely cost advice throughout the planning, design and construction of a project.
We help clients achieve value for money by managing capital and ongoing costs, identifying risks early and minimising the potential for cost overruns.
A Rawlinsons Director is closely involved in every project, particularly during the early design stages when documentation is limited and experienced judgement is essential.
Our expertise allows us to make informed allowances for elements yet to be detailed, identify potential risks and recommend appropriate contingencies, providing a sound basis for confident decisions from the outset.
Rawlinsons is recognised within the construction industry for producing comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-follow Bills of Quantities (BOQs). Our experienced team maintains this standard, with most surveyors bringing at least 10 years of BOQ experience.
All measurement is completed in-house, including building services, ensuring every document is coordinated, consistent and carefully controlled. We advocate for the detailed measurement of mechanical and electrical trades within BOQs. This provides a clear basis for comparing trade prices, valuing progress claims and assessing variations throughout construction.
