FAQ
Your questions answered: how we handle the early-stage numbers so you can quote with confidence.
Traditional QS firms are often hired to manage a project for months, handling ongoing site valuations and contract administration. At RapidQS, we specialise exclusively in pre-construction quantity surveying. It is a streamlined, singular process: we analyse your plans, deliver a comprehensive, itemised cost breakdown, and hand it back to you so you can quote your client and get back to building your site, and your business.
Every report undergoes analysis by qualified quantity surveying professionals and industry experts. We review your architectural drawings, cross-reference current market rates, and build a detailed, line-by-line breakdown. This professional oversight ensures your estimates reflect realistic construction costs before the hammer hits the frame.
Because these reports are prepared at the early pre-construction stage, they provide a robust baseline for your initial quote, though they may naturally be subject to adjustment as the build progresses and final on-site specifications are confirmed.
Yes. New Zealand banks frequently require a professional Quantity Surveyor (QS) report before approving residential or commercial construction finance. Because our reports are detailed, comprehensive, and prepared to professional standards, they provide the exact financial transparency lending institutions look for to de-risk a loan.
Material and labour costs vary significantly between regions like Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown. Our NZ quantity surveyors constantly monitor local supply chains and market rates across both the North and South Islands, ensuring your pre-construction report reflects the reality of your specific project location.
We partner with residential builders who want to free up their evenings, subcontractors needing trade-specific breakdowns, and developers, architects or homeowners looking to verify that a design aligns with a realistic budget before council submission.
The team at Rapid QS were an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their attention to detail and clear communication made the whole process stress-free, and they delivered exactly what was promised — on time and with no surprises. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rapid QS to anyone needing reliable and trustworthy quantity surveying services.

RapidQS has priced many jobs for me, and I've won approximately 90% of them due to customers liking how the breakdowns are laid out. I strongly recommend using RapidQS for your takeoffs.

RapidQS did a great job getting me a pricing schedule really quick, I had a few questions once I received it, emails back and forth went all through the weekend ensuring I had a deliverable on the Monday morning when it was required from the client. Good stuff!

Awesome company to deal with. Needed a QS done for a job with vague concept plans and I'll tell you what, I emailed it through and got a super quick response. Then they had the QS done within my tight timeframe and was very detailed. Will definitely be using you guys again.
