3. General Information, Not Professional Advice

Content on this Website — including the Insights section — is provided for general informational purposes only.

AQS accepts no liability for any loss arising from reliance on general content published on this Website.

4. Nature of Services & Professional Registration

AQS provides construction commercial consultancy services, including cost consulting, cost planning, measurement and valuation, commercial management, contract administration, and claims and commercial advisory support.

AQS is not currently registered with the South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession (SACQSP) or the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors (ASAQS), and does not hold itself out as a registered “quantity surveyor” or “Professional Quantity Surveyor” within the meaning of the Quantity Surveying Profession Act 49 of 2000.
