Quantity Surveyors & Construction Management Consultants, UK

MB Quantity Surveying & Construction Management (MBQS) provides quantity surveying, commercial management, construction management and claims support for contractors, subcontractors, trades and developers across the UK and Australia. Its services cover project costs and contracts from early estimating and tendering through delivery, payment applications, variations and final accounts. The company combines practical construction experience with commercial oversight to help clients assess risk, maintain clear records and protect project margins.

Quantity Surveying and Commercial Services
Quantity surveying support includes cost planning, estimating, bills of quantities, tender review and preparation, contract administration, valuations, payment applications, variations and final accounts. These services help clients understand the financial scope of a project, assess tender information, monitor costs and manage commercial changes.

Cost Planning and Estimating
Cost planning and estimating help establish likely project costs and review quantities, rates, allowances and risks before work is committed. Estimates can also provide a baseline for assessing cost changes during procurement and construction.

Bills of Quantities and Tender Support
Bills of quantities and tender services help organise the scope and pricing of construction work. Tender review can identify assumptions, exclusions, scope gaps and commercial risks, while tender preparation helps contractors and subcontractors present a clearer, more complete price.

Contract Administration
Contract administration covers contractual obligations, notices, records, valuations and variations. Clear documentation and awareness of contract requirements help clients manage changes, respond to deadlines and maintain an auditable record of commercial decisions.

Valuations and Payment Applications
Valuations and payment applications assess the value of work completed and support payment submissions or reviews. Measurement, progress evidence and supporting records help explain the basis of a valuation and resolve differences that may affect cash flow.

Variations and Final Accounts
Variation support helps identify and assess changes to the original scope, including their cost and contractual implications. Final account preparation brings together the agreed work value, variations, payments and other adjustments to support a clear project or subcontract close-out.

Subcontractor Commercial Support
MBQS supports subcontractors and trades with estimating, tendering, variations, payment applications and final accounts. This can help specialist businesses price work carefully, keep track of changes and maintain visibility of their commercial position during delivery.

Construction Management
Construction management support includes programme review, site coordination, project controls, risk management and progress reporting. These activities help contractors and developers assess delivery plans, monitor performance and identify issues that may affect cost, sequencing or completion.

Programme Review and Project Controls
Programme reviews consider whether planned sequences, durations and dependencies are realistic for the project. Project controls and reporting provide visibility of progress, cost movement, risks and decisions that need attention.

Site Coordination and Risk Management
Site coordination helps align trades, activities and interfaces. Risk management identifies potential threats to delivery and supports practical responses, taking account of the project's scope, programme and site conditions.

Claims, Delay and Contract Support
Claims and contract support includes delay analysis, extensions of time, loss and expense, contractual notices, contract review, dispute avoidance and adjudication preparation. The service helps clients organise project evidence, understand contractual requirements and present their commercial position clearly.

Delay Analysis and Extensions of Time
Delay analysis reviews programme information and project records to assess the causes and effects of delay. The findings may support an extension of time submission or review, depending on the contract, project events and available evidence.

Loss and Expense Support
Loss and expense support considers relevant cost impacts and the evidence linking them to project events. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve prolongation, disruption or other substantiated costs, assessed against the applicable contract.

Contract Review and Dispute Avoidance
Contract review can help clients understand obligations, notice periods, risk allocation and documentation requirements. Where a disagreement arises, organised records and clear contractual analysis can support discussions, dispute avoidance or preparation for adjudication, where applicable.

UK and Australian Construction Markets
MBQS states that it supports projects across the UK and Australia, with a UK hub in Birmingham and an Australian hub in Melbourne. Its published location pages cover the United Kingdom, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. Contract forms, payment rules and dispute processes differ by jurisdiction, so advice should be considered in the context of the relevant contract and local requirements.

Digital Growth for Construction Businesses
Through SearchRankPro™, MBQS also offers digital services for construction businesses and trades, including local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, website design, branding and social media marketing. This is a complementary service to the company's core quantity surveying, commercial and project support.
