Project Overview

Measured was engaged by the builder to provide quantity surveying and commercial advisory services for the Ballarat Regional Animal Shelter project. This development delivers a purpose-built facility designed to support animal welfare operations, incorporating specialised accommodation areas, treatment spaces, and supporting infrastructure to meet operational and community needs.

​

Our involvement centred on pre-construction commercial support, with a strong focus on contractual risk and estimating. A key component of our role was the detailed review of the AS 2124 construct-only contract, including assessment of bespoke amendments. We undertook a structured risk analysis to identify departures from standard provisions, evaluate their commercial implications, and clearly communicate risk allocation to the builder. This enabled informed decision-making and the implementation of appropriate risk mitigation strategies prior to contract execution.

​

In parallel, Measured delivered detailed estimating services, including measurement and pricing aligned with the project documentation. Our approach prioritised accuracy and transparency, supporting the builder in preparing a competitive and commercially robust submission.

​

Through a combination of rigorous contract review and disciplined estimating, Measured provided the builder with clear visibility over contractual risk and project costs—positioning the project for a well-informed and controlled delivery phase.
