OVER 70 YEARS OF EXPERTISE

Quantity Surveying.  It’s where the WT success story began over 70 years ago.  Today, it remains a core discipline for our business and our team. It doesn’t matter what kind of project we get involved in, or its procurement method. We have the processes and people to provide rigorous and innovative services.

The cost advice we provide is realistic and comprehensive.  It covers all aspects of the project, specifically designed to help our Clients in making informed decisions. Our approach and methodology help them mitigate project risk and successfully complete the delivery of their projects.

Our estimating and cost planning techniques are value management driven. We believe that it’s more important to optimise the capital works budget than to solely minimise cost.  This methodology has been developed to ensure unnecessary costs are eliminated and to provide the best value within the agreed budget.

Builder’s Bills of Quantities are measured in building trades format, unlike cost estimates which are measured in building elements. The trade format allows our clients to provide sub-contractors and suppliers with a document to assist in defining their works package. This assists our Clients in developing a scope of work that is fully understood and quoted for by competing sub-contractors.

WT Partnership has an in-house team specialising in the production of Bills of Quantities and is acknowledged as an industry leader in providing comprehensive and professionally measured quantities to assist the tenderers in scoping the works thereby assisting in obtaining realistic and comprehensive bids.

WT Partnership is an experienced provider of development monitoring services to banks, institutional investors, trusts and end users.

Our service provides clients with ongoing independent professional advice on the construction risks associated with a development project, their likely impacts and the measures available to avoid, mitigate or transfer them.

We provide clients with reassurance through our development monitoring process.

Through our expertise in tax depreciation, we can offer tax advice as early as business case stage to support investment proposals and decisions on the actual cost of development. In some cases, the tax benefits available from asset and building fabric depreciation have a significant impact on the feasibility of the investment.

Based on our expertise in facilities management and lifecycle analysis, we have developed a specific understanding of the effective life, reactive maintenance and cyclical replacement requirements of a broad range of buildings in varying locations, scale and use.

Our analysis and recommendations result in an annuitized plan for funding. This service can be performed following conclusion of construction works but also as a desktop assessment to support contract management assessments or broader business case /investment planning

Whether insuring a newly constructed building or an existing property, it is important for clients to ensure that their building’s insurance policy includes an appropriate value for replacement. Typically, policies consider a range of scenarios including damage and partial replacement and also total loss situation.

Our service provides a concise report with detailed cost analysis and recommendations for insurable value.
