Scope of quantity surveyor services for renovations

The purpose of a renovation estimate service is to determine the amount needed to complete all renovation work. This valuation includes an assessment of the building's technical condition, a scope of work and a cost and feasibility analysis. This type of estimate is essential when planning a major renovation, thermal modernization, or revitalization of buildings. Our goal is to prepare such an estimate so you can prepare adequately for the planned renovation; our task is not to simply carry out the renovation. However, with an estimate, you can rest assured knowing what to expect and better plan your renovations.

Cost analysis of the existing structure and risk assessment

Renovation estimates are largely based on an assessment of the building's current condition. This is crucial, as all planned work and projected costs depend on it. To assess the building's condition, documentation is analyzed, an inventory and a technical inspection is conducted. Knowledge of damage, wear and tear, as well as the building's needs, are crucial for the estimator. Due to all these factors, special measures may be required, such as adapting installations or selecting specific materials. Because these operations involve an existing building, information about which is not always complete, the estimator assumes a certain unpredictability in the scope of work, which exceeds the safety margin in the estimate.

Managing cost variations and budget control

Effective renovation cost management requires constant monitoring and responding to changes. Establishing a realistic budget, carefully analyzing the cost estimate and regularly monitoring expenses are key, which is why the estimator's work is so valuable. Among their responsibilities is anticipating additional costs and identifying savings. To optimally plan the use of funds, it is good to plan early, employ cost-saving technologies, manage materials efficiently and choose long-term solutions. Experience allows the estimator to effectively optimize renovation costs.
