Quantity surveying & cost management

At Altus, we are a trusted advisor on guiding you through every stage of your development and construction projects for the public and private sector.


We work in close partnership with project owners, developers, government agencies, and investors - in commercial, infrastructure and residential projects.

We aim to reduce financial uncertainties and increase cost oversight by examining budgets, refining cost forecasts, pinpointing potential risks, and implementing robust controls. It is not just managing your project to completion that is a priority - it’s the efficiency, predictability and ongoing value management that matters most.
