Established in 2013 Relm Quantity Surveyors was initially based in Timaru offering Quantity Surveying services across the South Island. In 2025 we expanded and now include offices in Timaru & Christchurch. We collaborate with our clients to develop construction cost estimates from concept plans through to full schedules from Tender and/or Consent Documentations. We also offer progress claim & variation verification services throughout the build process. 

With so much at stake, so many choices, decisions, legislation’s… it makes sense to start with us. We offer more than a per square metre rate. A lot of factors affect the pricing of your construction project starting from foundations, local government rules, geographic areas, types of finishes and style of house to name a few. We break your building components down into a schedule, we measure and using our database of costings, calculate. In some instances we can also shop around for prices. With a QS estimate document in hand, you can commit to working drawings with confidence or tender your job knowing everyone is pricing the same thing, allowing the same standard of finish and products in your build.

Whether you have concept plans or final working drawings, we can be flexible to suit your requirements. 

We provide a collaborative and proactive approach to all of our projects and recognise the importance of every idea from the first consultation to the moment they turn the key.

Have a smooth design and build experience, thanks to quality cost estimates that you can rely on.

SENIOR QUANTITY SURVEYOR

"I have been in the construction industry for over 25 years, including 20 years as a Quantity Surveyor. I have experience in Residential and Light Commercial building, completing Schedules for Builders, Housing Companies, Merchants, Sub trades and Home Owners. In which time I have produced schedules for all levels of building from alterations through to rest homes and multimillion dollar buildings.
Spending my youth in Pleasant Point I moved to Christchurch and returned to Pleasant Point in 2010 to follow job opportunities and develop my career further. I started RELM Quantity Surveyors in 2013 which is now grown to have offices based in Timaru & Christchurch. Due to our expansion I moved to Lincoln with my wife and three children to further develop and grow RELM Quantity Surveyors."

SENIOR QUANTITY SURVEYOR

"I have worked in the construction industry for over 30 years, starting off studying Architectural Technology at CPIT when I left school. After working for a building supply company in Christchurch in numerous roles, I have spent the last 18 years as a Quantity Surveyor. Moving to Timaru in 2016 and working for Relm was an exciting new direction for me, and I enjoy the new challenges it continually presents.

Born in Ashburton, but spending most of my life in Christchurch, Timaru is now my home. I am a father to three beautiful girls, who amaze and delight me as they grow up. I enjoy architecture, movies, and travelling around and seeing this beautiful and diverse country of ours."
