What we deliver

Everything priced before you commit

Six pre-contract services that turn an early design into a budget you can build to, and a tender you can trust.

Cost Planning

A reliable financial baseline set early in the design process, so the budget is realistic from day one.

Outcome: no budget creep later

Bill of Quantities

A precise, fully measured BOQ that gives every contractor the same clear basis to price against.

Outcome: accurate, comparable tenders

Tender Management

A structured evaluation of each contractor's capability, risk and value, so you award on facts, not guesswork.

Outcome: the right contractor at the right price

Procurement Strategy

Responsibilities and risks defined upfront, so the route to building is clear and free of costly delays.

Outcome: fewer surprises, fewer delays

Value Engineering

A review of materials and methods that finds real savings without compromising your design intent or quality.

Outcome: more building for the same budget

Financial Risk Analysis

The financial pinch points identified and addressed before construction begins, not discovered once it's too late.

Outcome: risks managed, not absorbed
Why Swiftcore

Remote delivery, Ireland-based control

You get the cost of a remote team with the assurance of local oversight. Every output is checked and signed off in Ireland before it reaches you.

  • Ireland-based oversight and QA

    Local quality control on every cost plan and BOQ, so nothing ships without a check.

  • Scale up or down on demand

    30+ surveyors ready to flex with your pipeline, with no permanent headcount to carry.

  • Up to 60% lower than a local hire

    The same calibre of pre-contract work for a fraction of the cost of an intermediate QS hired in-house.

  • Coverage across Ireland, the UK and Europe

    One partner for projects wherever your work takes you.

The case for getting it right pre-contract

  • Every euro of cost certainty you build in now is a dispute you avoid later.
  • A clear BOQ means contractors price the same scope, so you compare like with like.
  • Value engineering at design stage is where the real savings live, before anything is fixed.

Common questions

What contractors and developers ask us first

How can a remote QS deliver the same quality?+
The measurement and pricing work is delivered remotely, but every output is overseen and quality-checked in Ireland before it reaches you. You get local accountability with the cost and flexibility of a remote team.
How quickly can you turn around a cost plan or BOQ?+
Turnaround depends on the scale and stage of your project, but our model is built for speed. With 30+ surveyors we can scale a team to your deadline rather than make you wait on one person's availability. Tell us your timeline and we'll confirm what's achievable.
Do you work on projects outside Ireland?+
Yes. We deliver pre-contract quantity surveying across Ireland, the UK and Europe, so you can use one partner wherever your projects are.
What sizes and sectors do you cover?+
We work across data centres, housing developments, commercial buildings, education, modular construction and infrastructure, from single schemes to large rolling pipelines.
How do we get started?+
Send us your project details or give us a call. We'll have a no-obligation conversation about what you need, then come back with how we can help and what it would cost. There's no commitment to go any further.
