Huguenot House is in Dublin is one of our most recent projects

In the dynamic Irish construction sector, managing project finance with precision is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. This is where the expertise of a professional Quantity Surveyor (QS) becomes invaluable.

Crawford QS is a leading provider of expert Quantity Surveying in Ireland, offering a critical balance of technical knowledge and financial acumen to ensure your project's budgetary success from conception to completion.

What is a Quantity Surveyor and Why is the Role Critical in Irish Construction?

A Quantity Surveyor is much more than a cost accountant; they are the financial strategist and contractual expert for any building project—residential, commercial, industrial, or civil.

In Ireland, a skilled QS is essential for navigating market-specific costs, procurement methods, and contract law. We serve as the client's financial guardian, using sophisticated tools like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and on-screen estimating software (such as Cubit or CostX) to deliver precise construction cost advice.

Their core mission is to proactively manage the entire financial life of a project, ensuring strict adherence to budget constraints and contractual obligations.
