Veritas Surveying Ltd

Protecting Your Commercial Interests from Inception to Resolution

We are Veritas Surveying Limited, a team of Manchester-based Chartered Quantity Surveyors and construction dispute specialists. Whether you are a main contractor facing a "pay less" notice, a developer seeking a stress-free delivery, or a solicitor requiring expert quantum support, we provide the robust contractual know-how needed to safeguard your project.

Our approach is simple: we deliver practical, results-driven advice. We don't just provide services; we work as an extension of your team to reduce risk and maximise the value of your budget. This commitment to your success is why we enjoy such a high rate of repeat business from contractors, developers, and solicitors alike.

Specialists in Construction Adjudication and Getting You Paid

Disputes over payment can stall a project and threaten your business. We specialise in the "pay now, argue later" mechanism of construction adjudication, helping you recover funds quickly and efficiently.

• Notice of Adjudication: We draft precise notices to ensure your claim is on the strongest possible footing.
• Pay Less Notices: If you have received a reduced payment notice, we swiftly review your claim to determine your prospects of success.
• Negotiated Settlements: While we are highly experienced party representatives in formal proceedings, we always advocate for a cost-effective negotiated settlement as the first port of call.

Proven Expertise in the Technology and Construction Court (TCC)

Our reputation is built on a track record of high-stakes expert witness work. We provide quantum support and expert reports for tribunals and litigation, handled by trained professionals who understand the rigours of the TCC.

Recent commissions include providing expert opinions on a £1.5m TCC claim following an escape of water and acting as a Single Joint Expert in the Birmingham TCC to value defects in a domestic property.

Led by Industry Educators

We believe that better-informed teams lead to more profitable projects. Our team includes Richard Barnes, a Tutor and Course Director for the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and a former visiting lecturer at Leeds Beckett University.

We translate this academic rigour into practical commercial and contractual training for your staff. We help your people navigate JCT, NEC3, and NEC4 frameworks to improve your business's performance and profitability.
