pricing for qs in 2014

bert n ernie

Hello, just got planning permission, looking to get a QS report to give us a better idea of price. Can't see any recent prices up, can you tell me if approx €1900 excl vat is a reasonable quote for the following? Basic service;

- Order of Magnitude Budget Costing based on the current planning drawings for the house and garage, and a long discussion with input from architecte as to what level of finishes and detail is to be included.
- Bill of Quantities for inclusion with Main Contractor tender.

I'll be getting a few quotes, but just need some general guidance on what you should expect to pay for these services.
Plans are 1700 sq dormer bungalow.
Thanks!

Ballpark costs

stage 1 - cost plan generally €350-400 plus VAT

stage 2 - pre contact - bill of quantities €1300-1500 plus VAT (includes the bill, tender analysis and meetings up to appointemnt of contractor

stage 3 - post contract cost per contractors payment periods for valuation of works completed for each

stage 4 - final account


the above assumes an actual surveying practice (not someone doing it as a nixer) with an experienced quantity surveyor, with full professional indemnity insurance but like all professional fees shop around
