Having established ourselves as the specialists in this field in Southern Africa, we have decided to take it a step further by establishing a separate company.

The company is led by directors with many years' experience in the building services field. It is staffed by a combination of quantity surveyors, who have specialised in this field, and mechanical and electrical technicians who have been trained by Davis Langdon Building Services. This provides a mix which is ideal in terms of technical and cost management input.

• Building Services make up 15 to 50% of project cost – meticulous procurement and cost management methods are therefore essential.
• Davis Langdon Building Services has the expertise and experience gained from many major projects over the last 20 years.
• Procurement and cost management are the quantity surveyor’s primary function.
• Independent cost management by Davis Langdon Building Services ensures transparency of costs and a dedicated service independent of any specific design consultant.
• Bills of quantities by Davis Langdon Building Services are the most effective means for proper cost management, but other methods of procurement can be considered.
• Fees charged per QS fee scale are generally less than those charged by others offering a similar service.
