Whether you are a product manufacturer or a builder, it is important to have an edge over the competition by getting an accurate and consistent Bill Of Material (BOM) in-hand. Many businesses within the AEC sector view quantity surveying as an unnecessary expense that should only be used for constructing large developments.
However, a reliable estimation helps enhance a company’s reputation regardless of its size, and plays a crucial role in every step of the building process, be it a design, tentative, or comprehensive estimation.
But it is also true that hiring a full-time quantity surveyor can sometimes be very expensive, especially when the employee remains underutilized. The good news is that there are several options available for everyone in the AEC industry looking to benefit from accurate valuations while managing project budgets.
Outsourcing quantity estimating services to professional, productive, and qualified surveyors can result in precise, fast, and cost-effective material take-off or estimates, while helping ensure that your company never misses a bidding deadline again. Here are some more reasons why you should consider outsourcing quantity surveying to a reliable company.
#1 Precise Budget
While you might be aware of the importance of setting a budget, outsourcing quantity surveying to experts can help ensure the project has a manageable yet realistic budget. It includes a detailed analysis of all materials, labor costs, and other charges that may arise during the duration of the construction project. The information then helps create a cost-effective budget for material and labor costs.
Credible outsourcing firms typically have the experience of working on countless different projects. This means they are equipped with skills needed to provide accurate estimates after factoring in unexpected costs and providing a contingency plan to overcome unforeseen obstacles.
#2 Set Schedule
Many outsourcing companies also offer professional construction project management services. Working with construction project managers helps streamline constant monitoring of the overall progress to ensure everything is happening as per the schedule. They are trained to handle unexpected delays and shortcomings promptly because they possess the knowledge needed to get the construction project back on track to meet the deadline.
#3 Client Relationships
When companies outsource tasks, they can enjoy peace of mind and focus their time and efforts toward creating premium-quality projects for their clients. Meanwhile, the quantity surveyors will be responsible for handling all negotiations regarding the construction project. Their extensive experience enables them to fight for the best possible rates without negatively impacting the client’s reputation.
Outsourcing quantity surveying can help companies benefit from reduced expenses, energy, and overhead costs. They don’t need to spend a fortune on recruiting or training workers and purchasing costly equipment. An accurate calculation prevents the company from underquoting offers and helps fasten the bidding cycle by improving your odds of getting more contracts.
