Building Scope has completed a computerization process that involved investment in up-to-date computer hardware and software. The firm has invested in WinQs, Quantity Surveying software that aids in the production of Bills of Quantities and other contract documents within a shorter term while achieving higher levels of accuracy.

For measurements, the firm uses Blue Beam Revu and Adobe Acrobat and is in the process of acquiring DimensionX software to automate the measurement process further. This will yield positive results due to increased accuracy as well as higher efficiency allowing the directors and staff more time to attend to aspects other than taking off and billing on Quantity Surveying jobs.

It is important to note that in Building Scope, measurement of works (take-offs) are carried out on screen which is more efficient and time-saving as we do not have to wait for the Architect to print the drawings and send them to us but we request for a soft copy of the works in PDF and proceed to measure the works.

Initial estimates are shared with the Client and other consultants via PDF for comments and all documents to be shared with the rest of the team are scanned and shared instead of making copies and circulating

At Building Scope we encourage Consultants to Share their Works Photographs and any Bulky stuff Via either DropBox Or WeTransfer (We believe that this is our little way of executing our works in a green way and contributing to saving global warming)

Building Scope has also implemented a secure backup system thus ensuring that the Client information and data in our custody is kept secure and may be called up for consultation at any time.

We have a fiber connection with ZUKU Fiber Limited with backup modems purchased from mobile network providers just in case one is not in the office.

The human element that drives the systems that have so far ensured the success of the firm is carefully selected and recruited for sustainability and growth, both for the company and for the staff. The directors all believe in charting clear career paths for any staff recruited and actively mentor any staff recruited to ensure that they remain focused and motivated. The quality of the formation given by the Building Scope working environment is proven by the number of staff members that have been poached from the practice by competing firms.
