WT's expertise in cost and project management, coupled with our strong programme management capabilities, positions our team to successfully deliver complex, multi-faceted projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

INFRASTRUCTURE QUANTITY SURVEYING

Infrastructure projects are often large and complex, requiring significant planning and resources to complete successfully. With over 20 years’ experience of delivering infrastructure projects in New Zealand, our quantity surveying team can help our clients through all stages of the project. Our team of experts are dedicated to the infrastructure sector and understand it’s complexities.

We prepare our cost estimates to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring tailored solutions are provided.

We often need to establish ‘how’ a project could be constructed before we can estimate it’s cost. Utilising our experience and working closely with the design team, we are able to develop methodologies that allow us to price temporary works, traffic management and time related costs. We develop our estimates using a combination of first-principle estimating, elemental rates and benchmarked rates, depending upon the stage and complexity of the project.

We are able to develop accurate and robust estimates through all stages of the project life cycle, from feasibility through to construction estimates.

We also provide a full range of quantity surveying services both pre and post contract which are aligned to our commercial quantity surveying offering. Learn more about our quantity surveying services.

WT provide INFRASTRUCTURE QUANTITY SURVEYING services in these sectors:
How does WT approach first-principle estimating?

For first-principle estimates we utilise an estimating software that allows us to build-up rates and prices based upon labour, plant and materials inputs based upon assumed programmes and productivities. Our rich project history across abroad range of sectors supports elemental rates and cost benchmarking.

Our cost estimation approach enables accuracy and reliability, providing high quality standards in our service delivery.

How we ensure cost estimates are accurate and compliant?

Our team ensure that cost estimates are accurate and are compliant with industry standards, regulations, and best practices within the Aotearoa New Zealand environment. Many of our team are RICS certified professionals and members and keep up to date with construction industry guidelines and legislation.

What it's like working with WT for cost engineering

Transparency is integral to our work ethic—just upfront, honest collaboration and teamwork. Our commitment to open communication creates a positive culture and successful project execution. We do not offer design services which means we are able to provide impartial and objective advice to our clients.

RISK ANALYSIS

Infrastructure projects are large and complex and this brings with it a considerable amount of risk to our clients. Understanding project risk is a fundamental part of us being able to provide accurate cost information, to help derive project budgets. There are many examples of infrastructure projects being delivered late and over budget in New Zealand and this often stems from a misalignment of project risk and contingency.

In the early stages of a project, defining what we know is often the easy part. The difficulty comes with trying to assess everything we don’t know. Our experience allows us to demonstrate to our client’s the types of risks that arise on infrastructure projects, which allows us to make allowances within the budget and more importantly allows the project team to look at mitigation strategies to minimise the impact of the risk.

We utilise a probabilistic estimate to help determine the level of contingency a project should have based upon the inputs from the risk register.

The probabilistic evaluation of contingency, at the highest level, involves reviewing the uncertainties within the estimate that has been prepared, considering risks that may or may not occur and which could impact the project, and applying values and probabilities to those uncertainties and risks. These then form the inputs to the statistical risk modelling, the outcome of which isa range of values from P0 to P100, the most commonly used of which are P50 and P80.

This approach provides our clients with a much clearer understanding of the risks faced by their project and can allow them to start planning for those risks and minimising their impacts.

Long Term Maintenance Plans (LTMPs)

Our Long Term Maintenance Plans (LTMPs) offer Body Corporate members increased certainty and clarity regarding future costs as well as ensuring compliance with the UTA 2010.

LTMPs also help mitigate the potential impacts of unplanned maintenance expenses on Body Corporate members. Leveraging our team's extensive expertise and industry best practices, we develop detailed LTMPs tailored to the specific needs of Body Corporates.

Our LTMPs are presented in a clear and user-friendly format via our portal, ensuring accessibility and ease of use. Moreover, WT’s plans can be seamlessly adapted to align with your Body Corporate's funding models and we provide expert advice on the implications of various maintenance and funding scenarios, empowering committees to effectively communicate options to their members.

Preventative maintenance scheduling and auditing

It is no secret that Body Corporates are responsible for the management of a wide range of assets. To ensure assets meet legislative compliance obligations, are reliable, and lifecycle costs are minimised, their maintenance requirements need to be well understood. Our advisors all come from operational roles in facilities and asset management and have deep and holistic knowledge of property maintenance, asset life cycles, and compliance requirements.

Whether you are in a newbuilding and require preventative maintenance schedules to be set up to ensure warranty obligations are being met, or you are an established Body Corporate that wants to ensure you are maintaining your assets correctly, we are able to complete a detailed assessment of your building's maintenance requirements, setup comprehensive maintenance schedules, and compare these against current service arrangements.

BODY CORPORATES AND LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE PLANS (LTMP)

WT understand that Body Corporates face the critical task of maintaining their assets to ensure reliability, longevity, and cost-effectiveness while fulfilling their obligations under the UTA 2010 and keeping costs manageable for their members.

Project success hinges on a deep understanding of assets, their condition, and strategic planning for maintenance and replacement, coupled with effective supplier management. With escalating cost pressures on Body Corporates, exacerbated by soaring insurance rates and construction industry inflation, cost management has become imperative for sustaining affordability.

The WT team empower Body Corporates to comprehensively grasp their asset portfolio, devise efficient maintenance strategies, and plan for timely replacements. Our team also provide supplier performance reviews to ensure adherence with contractual obligations.
