Methodology
How KEMSAL Undertakes Works
Our methodology is built around disciplined project control, transparent communication, and cost-conscious decision-making from inception to completion.
Inception / Feasibility Stage
We advise on project expenditure by phase, assess budget constraints, compare alternative materials and designs, and appraise the economic and physical realities affecting implementation. This stage produces an informed initial project budget and confirms whether the concept is feasible in principle.
Preliminary cost studies and budget guidance
Comparative review of design, material, and construction options
Assessment of market conditions, price trends, and project constraints
Initial budget preparation and feasibility advice
Design Stage
Our quantity surveyors outline the cost implications of design decisions and provide effective cost control mechanisms throughout the design process. We help maintain a balanced design, ensure cost limits are respected, and advise on procurement approaches and appropriate contract forms.
Cost plan development and design-stage cost control
Advice on cost-effective design solutions
Selection of suitable procurement route and contract form
Economic review of project alternatives and design options
Tender Documentation Stage
We prepare accurate tender documents based on the chosen appointment method. This includes detailed measurement and preparation of Bills of Quantities, approximate quantities, schedules of rates, specifications, and conditions for carrying out the works. We also manage tender evaluation and recommend the most suitable contractor.

Works Supervision
During construction, our role shifts to post-contract administration. We monitor cost, check expenditure against the approved budget, assess interim valuations, evaluate claims, advise on fluctuations, and prepare the final account for settlement between client and contractor.
