Buildcost are delighted to introduce to you our new website and video, which will provide you with a greater insight into what makes us a leader in our industry. Our redesigned website and video reflect our continued dedication to excellence, innovation, and the communities we serve. They portray our values which are Great People, Great Clients, and Great Work.

As part of the creative content for our video, we wanted to express our deep connection to nature and commitment to sustainability as we shape the future of each of our projects with precision and care.

Our part in the creation of green buildings that are cost efficient as well as resource efficient across the building life cycle reflects our commitment to sustainability and our vision of creating lasting communities. Like the grains of sand coming together to form a unified design in our Buildcost sand mural, we bring together expertise, innovation, and a respect for the environment, shaping a brighter future, one project at a time.

The Buildcost Story: Crafting a Vision

Our journey as Buildcost Chartered Quantity Surveyors began over twelve years ago and has been one of passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. We began with a simple vision: to be more than just quantity surveyors. We aspire to partner with our clients in shaping the future of our industry. Over the years, we have worked tirelessly to bring this vision to reality, collaborating with some of the industry’s leading developers and financial institutions to deliver cost efficient landmark projects all over Ireland, projects that not only meet but exceed expectations. You can learn more about our client base here and read the testimonials they have shared with us.

Our work is not only about budget management, but also about community development and shaping the future of these communities. Every project we take on represents a component of a larger vision, a move towards building ecosystems in which people can live, work, and thrive. From the initial concept to the completed building, we are there every step of the way to ensure that every detail is cost managed in accordance with the client’s vision and the requirements of the project.

Our portfolio displays our expertise and commitment to quality. We have had the honour of working on iconic projects throughout Ireland, collaborating with leading brands to create spaces that will endure. One of these, Charlemont Square has received award winning status and Buildcost are proud to have been part of this overall project. These projects are more than just buildings; they represent progress, innovation, and our commitment to excellence. Each one is a source of pride for our team and reflects our unwavering pursuit of perfection.

Social Responsibility

We believe that success is measured not just by profits, but also by the positive impact we have in our communities. That is why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an essential component of what we do here in Buildcost. We actively encourage our team members to participate in volunteer days, which allow them to give back to the communities that have supported us and where our team work and live.

Environmental stewardship is also something that we take responsibility for in our work, and we recognise the value of sustainability in everything we do. We are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact while also assisting our clients in doing the same. We are committed to creating a more sustainable future for all, whether through energy-efficient building practices, green certifications such as LEED and BREEAM, or deep building retrofits.

Join Our Team

As we grow, we are always looking for talented individuals who share our enthusiasm and vision for what we do. At Buildcost, we believe in a flexible, hybrid work environment that allows our employees to thrive both personally and professionally. From coastal, country or city living, you can choose. We recognise that our greatest asset is our people, and we are dedicated to creating a supportive, dynamic environment in which everyone can contribute to our collective success. We offer great opportunities from Student Placement through to Project Director level, with continuous mentoring and educational support available to all our team.

We are delighted to share that Buildcost has successfully retained its ISO 9001:2015 certification. This was approved by a rigorous external audit conducted by the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI). This achievement serves as an affirmation to our constant commitment to following the most rigorous quality management standards in every aspect of our organisation.

Our commitment to quality is not merely a statement; it is embedded in all of what we at Buildcost. The ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognised benchmark for quality management and retaining it is a testament to the dedication of our team and the strength of our processes.

What does ISO 9001:2015 mean for Buildcost?

ISO 9001:2015 is the most respected quality management standard in the world, driven by principles such as a process-driven approach, constant improvement, and a strong customer focus. This recognition is evidence of how committed Buildcost are to these principles. It is not enough to merely conform to a set of standards; more so, it is the incorporation of these principles into our daily operations to guarantee that each project we undertake exceeds the expectations of our clients.

Our certification covers all activities associated with the provision of our Quantity Surveying Services. This means that our work is conducted with the highest level of accuracy and quality, from the initial cost analysis right through to the final account. Our quality management system supports our business strategy and enables continuous improvement.

Our Unwavering Commitment to Quality

Quality is the foundation of our operations at Buildcost. This entails ensuring the delivery of services in an efficient and timely manner, an appreciation of the requirements of all stakeholders, and establishing a culture of clear communication between all parties. We advocate for a risk-based and process-oriented approach, ensuring that all processes are consistently monitored, appropriately resourced, and well-documented to achieve the desired outcomes. This method enables us to uphold the highest standards of service and promotes ongoing operational developments.

We also prioritise training and development to guarantee that our team possess the necessary abilities and expertise to be successful in their roles. Our commitment to continuous professional development and education is essential in maintaining the exceptional quality that our clients anticipate from Buildcost.

The Contribution of ISO 9001:2015 to Our Success

Our primary objective is to achieve substantial cost savings on large-scale projects by conducting a comprehensive analysis of key cost drivers, value engineering, and building efficiencies. The ISO 9001:2015 certification is a critical component of this effort. We guarantee that our processes are optimised for efficiency, accuracy, and client satisfaction by adhering to this standard.

Furthermore, the ISO 9001:2015 standard allows us to identify opportunities for improvement in the areas of waste reduction, cost reduction, and sustainability promotion. This not only benefits our clients but also reinforces our dedication to the environment and the communities we serve.

It is an important achievement that we have retained our ISO 9001:2015 certification; however, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing effort necessary to preserve our high standards of excellence. It is a collaborative effort that includes each member of the Buildcost team and is indicative of our shared commitment to excellence, consistency, and quality in all of what we do.

We are committed to maintaining these principles as we continue to grow and expand.. We are proud of our accomplishments, but we are even more enthusiastic about the future and the prospects of further showcasing our dedication to quality.

Experience the difference that ISO 9001:2015-certified quality makes in your construction projects by partnering with Buildcost. We are collectively constructing a future where excellence is accepted as normal.
