At Gray Quantity Surveyors, we’re committed to supporting our clients from the first measure to the final handover. The recently completed residential development in Clondalkin is a great example of how precision, professionalism, and proactive cost control lead to a successful outcome.
From the earliest stage of measurement through to completion, our focus was on delivering commercial clarity, managing risk, and ensuring budget certainty while working closely with the wider project team.
- Accurate Brickwork Package Measurement
Getting the quantities right from the start is essential to keeping costs under control. Our detailed brickwork measurement ensured the tender was based on accurate figures, avoiding scope gaps and costly variations later in the project.
Example:
By providing precise quantities at tender stage, the contractor could price with confidence, and the client avoided unexpected claims during construction.
- Ongoing Cost Control and Valuation Support
Throughout the build, we monitored expenditure closely, preparing regular valuations and cost reports. This gave the client clear oversight and prevented budget creep.
Example:
Midway through construction, we identified a potential overspend in materials. By flagging it early, we implemented procurement adjustments that kept the budget on track.
- Commercial Reporting and Risk Oversight
We provided transparent, up-to-date commercial reports, helping the project team make informed decisions. Our risk tracking allowed issues to be addressed before they could cause delays or cost increases.
Example:
When a supply chain delay threatened to impact the programme, we worked with the contractor to find an alternative source, avoiding both delays and additional costs.
- End-to-End Collaboration and Proactive Communication
Our open communication with contractors, suppliers, and consultants ensured everyone stayed aligned. This collaborative approach helped keep the programme moving smoothly and the budget secure.
Example:
Regular site meetings and progress updates meant that design adjustments were resolved quickly, preventing them from escalating into disputes.
The Fonthill, Clondalkin project shows how the right quantity surveying expertise brings measurable value to residential developments. By combining accurate measurement, rigorous cost control, and strong collaboration, we helped our client achieve a high-quality finish on budget and on time.
At Gray Quantity Surveyors, we bring the right advice at the right time to ensure projects cross the finish line successfully.
