Freelance Quantity Surveyor
When undertaking any type of construction project, cost control and contract management can make or break your budget.

Why Does Your Construction Project Need a Quantity Surveyor?
A Quantity Surveyor is the key to achieving effective construction project execution. They function as an essential connection between critical processes including budget forecasting, cost control, contract administration, and procurement.
This is how a Quantity Surveyor can ensure a smooth project progress and optimal financial performance:
Why Should You Hire a Freelance Quantity Surveyor?
Due to the extensive scope of tasks, Quantity Surveyors are valuable contributors to any construction team.

Benefits of Hiring a Freelance Quantity Surveyor for Your Construction Project
Still, you might be wondering if hiring a freelancer is the right decision. Or maybe it is better to have a permanent professional in your team? While both ways have their own pros and cons, more and more businesses lean towards taking on a Quantity Surveyor on a contract basis, and this is why:
Exceptional Flexibility
First and foremost, Freelance Quantity Surveyors are capable of adapting to your needs. Often, construction companies are limited by their existing Quantity Surveyor departments. They cannot take more work than the employees are able to handle. In the event of unforeseen circumstances (for example, illnesses) or new large-scale jobs, you may be at risk of missed deadlines.
Freelance Quantity Surveyors, on the other hand, offer greater flexibility. They can be engaged precisely when and for how long you require. Meanwhile, integration options are equally versatile. You may rely on their expertise alongside your existing team or engage them as independent representatives to handle specific aspects of your project. In the end, you receive exactly the support you need without unnecessary overhead.
Beneficial Sets of Skills
Secondly, Freelance Quantity Surveyors have extensive experience with projects of all possible levels of complexity. If you come across a task your team cannot cope with, you can rely on the knowledge and skills of a Surveyor on a daily rate. An outside perspective courtesy of a Freelance worker is an invaluable contribution to the success of your construction project.
The fresh perspective brought by PEJA Surveying and our freelance Quantity Surveyors may become a considerable strategic advantage for your project. Thanks to our experience across multiple stages of construction projects, you can take advantage of opportunities and solutions, which you might otherwise overlook.
Low-Risk Experience
With Freelance Quantity Surveyors, you can significantly reduce your risks. Freelancers operate as external contractors and are not considered employees of your company. This provides you with the flexibility to terminate their contract at any time. Consequently, you can avoid the concerns related to unemployment insurance and the involvement of labour unions. In contrast, the process of hiring and releasing permanent employees is typically associated with more complexities and potential risks.
This flexible relationship helps eliminate many concerns related to engagement and release of the workforce. These are, among others, complex legal considerations, ongoing obligations, union involvement, unemployment payments, and others. Unlike permanent staff positions, freelance services offer clear boundaries that protect your business interests.
Reduced Budget
While the hourly rate of a Freelancer is often higher than that of a full-time employee, you don’t have to worry about compulsory payments associated with labour relationships (such as health insurance, national insurance, pension scheme payments, etc.). Additionally, freelance expertise helps reduce expenses related to professional development, employee benefits packages, and workplace accommodations.
All in all, strategic collaboration with an independent Quantity Surveyor is able to bring greater financial value. In the meantime, you won’t have to compromise on quality.
Less Supervision
The reputation of Freelance Quantity Surveyors relies on the feedback they receive. That’s why at PEJA Surveying, we work diligently to ensure you’re satisfied with the collaboration. As independent professionals, we take the lead in finding the most effective approaches and closely monitor project progress.
Ultimately, you can expect a timely and error-free delivery as part of our commitment to the highest standard of service. And all of that without constant management oversight!
