Specification & Quantity Surveying

We turn design intent into the precise documents a project needs to go to tender and to be built correctly. Technical specifications define materials, standards, and workmanship, while measured bills of quantities give every trade a clear, comparable basis to price. Prepared in step with the drawings, these documents reduce ambiguity, support fair tendering, and keep what is delivered on site faithful to what was designed.

How we work

Our quantity surveyors measure the design to a recognised standard method — SMM or CESMM as the project demands — producing bills of quantities in which every item is described, quantified, and traceable back to a drawing. Accurate, well-structured measurement gives contractors a like-for-like basis to price, narrows the spread of returned tenders, and gives the client a defensible benchmark for evaluating bids.

Specifications are written in parallel with the drawings, defining materials, products, standards, tolerances, and workmanship to the Saudi Building Code and the relevant international references. We are deliberate about reference standards and submittal requirements so that what is approved on site matches what was designed, and so that substitutions are controlled rather than incidental.

Beyond tender, the measured documents underpin valuations, variation pricing, and final-account agreement. By keeping specification and quantities aligned with the evolving design, we reduce the ambiguity that drives claims and give every trade a clear, comparable basis to deliver against.
