Useful answers before you send the files

The scope starts with the commercial question, the information available and the date the answer is needed.

01Are you based in the UK, and can you attend site?

Yes. I'm based in the UK and can support your team remotely or attend site by agreement. Site location, availability, travel and fees are agreed before the work starts. Remote QS is a trading name of F & K CONSULTANCY LTD, registered in England and Wales.

02Can I hire a freelance quantity surveyor for one tender?

Yes. You can agree support for a single tender, selected BoQ items or several upcoming packs. Send the documents and deadline; the included work, fee and completion date are confirmed after review.

03How does outsourced QS support work remotely?

Share the drawings, BoQ, specifications and any pricing information available. We agree what needs measuring, checking or pricing, then deliver the agreed schedules, mark-ups and commercial notes digitally. Queries and exclusions are recorded so your team can review the output before using it.

04How do we conduct remote quantity surveying?

We use advanced tools like Bluebeam and 3D model measurement for remote quantity surveying, ensuring accurate and defensible data. We work closely with you to meet all project requirements efficiently.

05Are your fees fixed and do they include VAT?

A fixed fee can be agreed once the documents and scope have been reviewed. The advertised starting fees exclude VAT. The quote confirms the included work, fee and completion date before you commit.

06How quickly can you complete the work?

It depends on the size of the pack, the information available and current capacity. Include your deadline when you enquire. A completion date is agreed with the quote; the website does not promise a 48-hour turnaround.

07What should I send for an initial review?

Send the BoQ, the relevant drawings or model, and a short note explaining the concern or commercial decision. A small sample can be agreed before the full scope.

08What will the output look like?

The format depends on the scope, but it may include marked-up drawings, a reconciled BoQ, quantity differences and concise commentary explaining the evidence.

09Can the work be completed remotely?

Yes. The service is designed around controlled digital information, clear assumptions and reviewable measurement records.
