Irish commercial judgement. A full measurement team behind it.
We set up in 2024 to give contractors, developers and PQS firms quantity surveying that is accurate, dependable and fairly priced. Client relationships, senior coordination and commercial oversight sit in Ireland and the UK. Measurement, estimating and project support run from our dedicated delivery centre in Sri Lanka.
We know the commercial pressure on construction right now. Our job is to help you manage cost, work efficiently and keep projects on track.

Quantity takeoff and measurement
We provide quantity takeoff and measurement across building, civil engineering, infrastructure and mechanical and electrical (M&E) works. Our quantity surveyors measure from project drawings, specifications, schedules and other relevant documentation, so every quantity is accurately captured and clearly traceable to its source.
We apply recognised standard methods of measurement, including ARM4, ARM5 and NRM2, alongside any project-specific requirements, for consistency, transparency and compliance with the agreed standards. Working in CostX, Cubit, Bluebeam and PlanSwift, we deliver structured takeoffs ready for cost planning, tendering, procurement and commercial management.
Our services include
- Detailed measurement of substructure, superstructure, architectural finishes, external works and M&E packages
- Trade-based and elemental quantity takeoffs
- Measurement from 2D drawings and available digital design information
- Drawing revision reviews and quantity change assessments
- Cross-checking quantities against specifications, schedules and project documentation
- Independent quantity verification and quality assurance reviews
Accurate, consistent and fully traceable quantities that reduce measurement risk and support informed commercial decisions.
Bills of quantities
We prepare, review, revise and reconcile detailed bills of quantities for projects of varying size, complexity and procurement route.
Our BOQs follow the agreed standard method of measurement and project requirements, with clear descriptions, appropriate units, structured classifications and measurable quantities. The aim is tender and contract documentation that keeps ambiguity, omissions and potential commercial disputes to a minimum.
Our QA/QC procedures check measurement accuracy, item coverage, descriptions, drawing references and consistency between the BOQ and its supporting documentation.

Estimating and tender support
We help contractors and subcontractors prepare accurate, competitive and commercially sound tender submissions, from the first documentation review and quantity assessment through pricing assistance and scope clarification to final tender preparation.
We work closely with you to identify omissions, design inconsistencies, commercial risks and opportunities for cost optimisation. When tender activity peaks, our flexible delivery model adds estimating capacity, so a demanding submission programme never costs you quality.
Our services include
- Detailed tender quantity takeoffs and measurement
- Pricing schedules and tender BOQs
- Labour, material, plant and subcontractor cost build-ups

Our commitment to quality
Quality, accuracy and reliability are central to every service we deliver. Our structured approach combines experienced quantity surveyors, industry-standard measurement methods, digital tools and multi-stage quality assurance.
From the first measurement to the final commercial report, we deliver dependable outputs, meet agreed deadlines and give you the professional support a successful project needs.
Coordinated from Ireland. Measured by a dedicated team.
More than thirty quantity surveyors and estimators, ready to scale up or down with your pipeline. No permanent headcount for you to carry.
Measured across six sectors.
Your standard. Your software.
We align measurement and BOQ descriptions with the contractual or client-specified method of measurement. Relevant technical experience and checking arrangements, including civil engineering disciplines, are confirmed for each assignment.
BIM models, Civil 3D earthworks workflows and other specialist platforms are assessed against project scope and confirmed resource capability before appointment.
A reliable BOQ is a reviewed BOQ.
Reliable bills need structured review, clear ownership and proper coordination across disciplines. Every output is checked and signed off in Ireland before it reaches you.
Document control
Drawing revisions, scope clarifications and source information are identified and tracked.
Technical checks
Reviews cover measurement rules, units, descriptions, drawing coordination, omissions and duplication.
Escalation
Unclear or conflicting information is raised for resolution, never assumed without qualification.
Improvement
Client comments and quality findings feed corrective action and training.
The assigned reviewer, review depth, hold points and sign-off arrangements are confirmed in your project QA/QC plan and reflected in the agreed programme.
Local commitment. Global delivery.

What clients ask us first.
How does a remote quantity surveyor work with our team?
Your Swiftcore quantity surveyors work as an extension of your team, following your standards and systems, with Ireland-based oversight of the work. You get the same pre-contract and post-contract support you would expect in-house, delivered remotely.
How much can we save?
Clients save 60%+ compared with hiring an intermediate quantity surveyor locally. The exact figure depends on the roles and volume of work, which is what the free consultation is for.
Can we start with a single deliverable, such as one BOQ?
Yes. You can start with one bill of quantities or one cost estimate and scale up as your workload requires.
How quickly can work start?
Once we have agreed the scope, work can start quickly. With more than thirty quantity surveyors already in place, you skip a local recruitment process, and we hold a 99% on-time delivery rate.
Can you take over a project that is already on site?
Yes. We regularly pick up projects mid-build, review where the costs and valuations stand, and take over the post-contract side from there through to the final account.
Where do you work?
We support construction projects across Ireland, the UK and Europe, working with contractors, developers and PQS firms on residential, commercial, data centre, infrastructure, education and modular projects.
