Quantity Surveying Consultancy
RICQS offers comprehensive quantity surveying services, including cost planning, risk assessment, and compliance reporting. Our team works with developers and financiers to ensure projects meet budgetary and regulatory standards. We prioritise transparency and precision to protect client interests throughout the development lifecycle.
Tax Depreciation Schedules
We prepare detailed tax depreciation schedules for residential and commercial properties, maximising deductions while adhering to ATO guidelines. Our reports help investors and property owners optimise financial returns through accurate asset valuation and lifecycle forecasting.

Our risk assessment services identify potential cost overruns and project delays, providing actionable strategies to mitigate issues. By evaluating design changes and construction progress, we ensure clients are equipped to manage uncertainties effectively and maintain project viability.
Financier Reporting
RICQS delivers detailed financier reports that verify construction costs, track progress, and assess completion estimates. These reports ensure lenders have accurate, independent insights to make informed decisions while safeguarding their investments against financial risks.
Value Management
We conduct value management studies to optimise project costs without compromising quality. By analysing design and material choices, we identify savings opportunities and ensure developments align with budgetary goals while maintaining structural and functional integrity.
