QUANTITY SURVEYING
Quantity surveying involves providing independent professional consulting services to clients embarking on projects within the built environment. The role of the quantity surveyor is that of a cost consultant, offering advice to clients on strategies to achieve projects that are both viable and affordable. All professional duties adhere to the
established practices and standards set forth by the ASAQS (Association of South African Quantity Surveyors) and SACQSP (South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession).
Cost management stands as the primary benefit of quantity surveying, affording clients a proactive approach to monitoring and controlling costs throughout their projects rather than reacting to them as they arise. We at Kwanza Cost Consultants take pride in exceeding expectations by offering clients valuable alternative services tailored to their specific needs, embodying the principle of 'what you need is what you get!' These standalone services are particularly suited for clients who may not require a full quantity surveying
service.
