Hyams QS Ltd

We believe that successful construction projects are built on a foundation of financial clarity and proactive management. Based in Claydon, just outside Ipswich, we are a long-established Chartered Quantity Surveying practice dedicated to protecting our clients' interests across East Anglia and North London.

Seven Decades of Surveying Excellence

Our story began in 1955. For nearly 70 years, we have evolved alongside the construction industry, maintaining a reputation for reliability and professional integrity. Today, the practice is led by Richard Mays MRICS, who brings over 35 years of private practice experience to every project.

Unlike larger, impersonal firms, Richard closely monitors every project we undertake. You benefit from his detailed day-to-day involvement, ensuring that decades of high-level expertise are applied to your specific challenges, whether you are a first-time developer or a seasoned institutional investor.

From Domestic Renovations to £20m Developments

We don't believe any project is too small for professional cost control, nor any too large for our dedicated team. Our portfolio is incredibly diverse, reflecting our ability to adapt our expertise to different sectors and scales.

We are proud to serve a wide range of clients, including:

• Private Homeowners embarking on bespoke domestic builds
• Independent Schools and educational facilities
• Housing Associations and Local Authorities
• Retailers and Banks requiring precise commercial oversight
• Main Contractors needing professional Bills of Quantities

Your Partner in Design and Build

We specialise in the role of Employer’s Agent for Design and Build projects. We act as your representative, bridging the gap between your creative aspirations and the practical constraints of cost and programme. Our goal is to ensure the finished building matches your vision without the stress of unexpected financial overruns.

If your architect or designer is unable to take on the role of Contract Administrator, we step in to provide that vital layer of professional management. From budget estimating and value engineering to the final agreement of accounts, we provide the necessary advice at every key stage to keep your project on track.

"Our mission is simple: to provide proactive, professional advice that ensures every project we touch is delivered with financial precision and total transparency."
