Who we are

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.

How we measure

From drawing to bill.

Every package we take on moves through the same six steps. Follow a sample plan as it is scoped, measured, checked and issued, while the bill of quantities builds beside it.

NRM1 / NRM2RICS measurement frameworks
CESMM4Civil engineering measurement

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.

Quality and accountability

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.

A QA/QC plan for every project

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.

Common questions

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.
