A Senior Quantity Surveyor. A diaspora community. A problem worth solving.
ZimBuild QS was founded by Anele Dube, a Senior Quantity Surveyor based in Essex, UK, to address a gap that was costing the Zimbabwe diaspora community thousands of pounds every year.
Zimbabweans abroad, in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and South Africa, are building homes back home in significant numbers. But without access to professional cost advice, they are reliant on contractor quotes they cannot verify and budgets based on guesswork.
ZimBuild QS exists to put the client in control of the numbers. We produce professional Bills of Quantities, cost estimates and contractor quote audits, based on real Zimbabwe market rates, so that when you sit down with a contractor, you already know what it should cost.
I'm a Senior Quantity Surveyor based in Essex, UK. I've worked in construction cost management for a number of years, and I understand the technical side of building, how to read drawings, measure works accurately, apply market rates, and spot when a contractor's quote doesn't stack up.
ZimBuild QS is built on understanding the Zimbabwe diaspora experience, because I live it too. Every client gets the same standard of work I would want for myself.
