A quantity surveyor spends two hours a week rebuilding the procurement schedule in Excel, and every tier above them re-types it into another report.
Design QA checks written from experience and hope, with nothing to show which standard each one is checked against.
Social value and environmental returns arrive as hundreds of separate spreadsheets, stitched together by hand for month-end reporting and the client meeting.
We start with the spreadsheet everyone hates, because it's a map of how your business really works. We've run these processes ourselves.
Site to commercial to director to board. Who enters what, who approves what, who is allowed to see what, captured before a line of code.
We don't start from a blank page. A base system that already works, tailored to your packages, approval chains and ways of working. Where nothing fits, we build from scratch.
White-labelled under your name, your colours and your domain, and supported by us behind the scenes as your business changes.
Most schedules record dates. This one calculates them — working backwards from start on site through manufacture, subcontractor design, order and tender.
2,250+ design QA checks across 104 work packages, some traced to their source in BS EN standards, BRE guidance or Approved Documents. Built for the era where design evidence is a legal gateway.
Sub-contractors log in and enter their delivery themselves — evidence attached at the point of entry, not chased through inboxes afterwards. Approval chains verify it, and report packs at site, region and national level build from the one dataset.
All three platforms are white-label ready — several already run under our clients' own brands.
QC Consultancy was founded after years in construction QA and commercial roles — running packages, managing procurement schedules, reviewing design information and chasing the same broken spreadsheets everyone else does.
That experience is the product. A development agency can build you a database; it can't tell you that a curtain walling package with a longer manufacture period gets ordered before the SFS that starts on site first — or why that means the design information moves in the opposite direction to the site dates. We build that logic in, because we've been caught out by it.
We work with main contractors, regional builders and specialist subcontractors across the UK.
We price on the size and shape of your organisation, not per seat — unlimited users, always. Tell us what you need and we'll come back to you with a proposal.
