Overview

Finance is often upmost in the mind when refurbishing, building or maintaining built assets. Without adequate cost control it is easy for a project to run over the available budget or to be compromised by poor quality and programme overruns.

At Hookway our expert team of surveyors are able to provide pro-active and professional cost, procurement and contractual advice from the very first early stages of project feasibility through to completion and beyond into the asset maintenance. 


A fully qualified senior surveyor will always be the point of contact allowing relationships and knowledge of the particular requirements of our clients to be fully understood; a philosophy proven by the number of longstanding and repeat clients we have worked with over many years.

 

Our Approach

Hookway believe that the appointment of a quantity surveyor at the earliest stage possible will enable the project to best meet the needs of the client. We are however able to assist at any stage of a project. 

Our experienced surveyors have a vast knowledge of all types of projects and procurement routes and bring with them the proven processes we have developed to ensure best value is achieved. Building on traditional principles with modern methods allows us to provide a flexible, proactive and friendly service that is tailored to the individual needs of our clients.

With the increasing complexity of construction methods and processes we believe that our flexibility, attention to detail and determination to “cost control” and not just “cost report” set us apart.
