About NSW DA Cost Estimates & Cost Summary Reports

When you submit a development application on the NSW Planning Portal or directly with Council, most NSW local councils require a "Registered Quantity Surveyor's Council DA Cost Estimate (Cost Summary Report)"  to be included as part of the Development Application (DA) or Construction Certificate (CC). 


Councils require this report to ascertain the value of the project so the fees and contributions attributable can be calculated. 


As Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) registered and certified Quantity Surveyors, we are qualified to prepare Quantity Surveyor Reports in accordance with your council's format and requirements.
