At Equicost Ltd, we offer specialised Quantity Surveying services for timber-based construction, including pergolas, wooden decks, and roof structures.
As sustainability and design flexibility become increasingly important in construction, timber offers a renewable, durable, and aesthetically appealing alternative to traditional materials. Our team brings the technical knowledge and cost management experience necessary to ensure your timber project is delivered with financial clarity, quality, and value.
Timber-Specific Cost Planning & Estimation
Timber construction requires a unique understanding of material behavior, jointing systems, finishes, and longevity. We prepare accurate and detailed cost estimates that consider:
Timber species and grade (treated pine, hardwoods, engineered wood)
Sourcing and logistics (local vs imported timber)
Fasteners, fixings, coatings, and finishing costs
We help clients and contractors select the most appropriate and cost-effective timber solutions while maintaining quality and performance.
Custom Structure Estimation
We offer precise quantity take-offs and pricing for:
Pergolas and gazebos
Wooden roof trusses and coverings
Timber walkways, platforms, and staircases
Outdoor decking, pool enclosures, and fences
Our estimates include structural timber, joinery, accessories, finishes, and installation—giving clients a full picture of cost before construction begins.
Procurement Advice & Material Selection
We provide technical guidance on:
Choosing suitable timber species for coastal, humid, or exposed environments
Comparing treated timber vs composite or engineered options
We assist in sourcing from reliable suppliers and advise on lead times, availability, and delivery logistics.
Integration with Architects, Engineers & Contractors
Our team collaborates closely with your project consultants to ensure:
QS input is aligned with architectural intent and engineering requirements
