Post-Contract Services

Stay in control during construction with expert post-contract Quantity Surveying that keeps your project on budget and on track. From cost reporting to managing variations, we safeguard your investment every step of the way.

Once construction begins, costs, timelines, and quality must be actively managed to prevent overruns. Our post-contract services provide continuous monitoring of project expenditures, ensuring that your budget is respected and that financial decisions are based on accurate, up-to-date information.

By working closely with contractors and stakeholders, SMSC ensures progress is measured precisely and changes are managed efficiently. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of disputes and provides clients with peace of mind, knowing that every variation is properly assessed and documented.

We also focus on strategic advice and reporting, helping clients make informed decisions that optimise resources and enhance project outcomes. Through detailed valuations and cost reports, potential issues are identified early, allowing timely corrective action before they escalate.

Our team supports every stage of the post-contract phase — from interim valuations and retention management to final account preparation and project close-out — ensuring a smooth transition from construction completion to final project delivery.

Cost Monitoring & Variation Management

When construction is underway, precise tracking of costs and variations is critical. SMSC provides detailed cost reporting, on-site valuations, and expert advice to manage any changes. This ensures your project remains on budget, avoids surprises, and delivers maximum value. With active oversight, clients can make confident decisions, knowing that all financial aspects are controlled and disputes are minimised.

Final Accounts & Project Close-Out

SMSC manages final accounts, conducts post-completion cost reviews, and oversees retention processes for seamless project completion. Our team ensures that all contractual obligations are met to the highest standard, providing clear reporting and support to address any remaining issues. This guarantees successful outcomes and financial clarity for every client.
