Welcome to the future of construction management! At Virtual PA Studio, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our innovative Quantity Surveying (QS) services for the UK market. But before you wonder, “Why would I outsource my QS needs?” or “How can a virtual assistant manage complex construction finances?” let us show you why this might be the best decision you make for your project in 2024.

The Role of a Quantity Surveyor: Superhero of the Construction World

Did you know the construction industry contributes £117 billion annually to the UK economy? Behind these numbers are Quantity Surveyors – the unsung heroes ensuring every brick laid does not break the bank. From cost planning and budget management to risk assessment and final accounts, a QS ensures every pound spent on a project delivers value.

Challenges in the UK Construction Sector

While construction projects are booming, so are their challenges:

• Budget Overruns: Over 69% of construction projects experience budget blowouts, often due to poor financial planning and monitoring.
• Labour Shortages: Finding experienced professionals is becoming harder to source, with a 42% skills gap reported in the industry.
• Rising Costs: Inflation and material costs have increased project budgets by up to 20% since 2022.

In a landscape like this, having an expert QS is essential. A QS ensures that every pound you spend delivers value, making them indispensable in an industry where costs can spiral out of control. Did you know that over 65% of construction projects in the UK face budget overruns? That is where a QS steps in to save the day – and your wallet.
