• Tender pricing
• Scope clarity
• Pricing review
• Early procurement planning

⏱️ 4-day turnaround
👥 4-person team

Another example of how Capra’s remote quantity surveying team helps construction professionals manage workload efficiently and keep projects moving.

The construction industry doesn’t just face a labour shortage—it faces a commercial skills shortage too.

With experienced Quantity Surveyors increasingly difficult to recruit, many contractors are turning to flexible QS support when they need it most.

At Capra, we work as an extension of your team, helping you scale commercial support without expanding your in-house department.

How is your business managing the skills shortage?

We’ve just wrapped up one of our recent measurement projects at Capra — the Tennant Creek Boarding House in the Northern Territory — and it’s a great example of the speed and accuracy our team brings to structural packages.

For this project, we completed the full BOQ measurement for the structural steel framing and light-gauge wall stud framing across Pavilions 1 to 5. Our take-off covered all key elements including columns, beams, wall heads, purlins, bracing, studs, noggings, jambs and lintels, using the issued roof and wall framing plans.

What clients appreciate most is our efficiency:
A complete, detailed package delivered in just two days by a team of three working collaboratively.

Whether you’re in the UK or Australia, if you’re looking for reliable BOQ support for structural framing — fast turnaround, clear reporting and consistent accuracy — we’d be happy to help.

The Quantity Surveyor Shortage is Real, and It’s Costing the Industry.

Across the UK and Australia, construction projects are grinding to a halt due to a severe shortage of skilled Quantity Surveyors:

UK: Over 50% of projects report delays and budget overruns because of QS gaps. Nearly one-third of firms describe the shortfall as critical.

Australia: The industry faces a shortfall of 90,000 workers by end of 2025, with QS roles among the hardest to fill.

This shortage isn’t just inconvenient, it’s driving up costs, slowing delivery, and putting margins and projects at risk.

Capra offers a smarter solution....

Our Remote Quantity Surveyor Services give you access to a multi-disciplined, professional team, not a faceless platform or fragmented freelancing. By outsourcing to Capra, you can:

✅ Navigate the QS skills gap with confidence
✅ Save 50%+ compared to traditional in-house or freelancing methods
✅ Scale your capacity without scaling your overheads

Don’t let resource shortages or rocketing overheads derail your projects.
