A-201About us
Since 1977, project owners, developers and banks in Indonesia have used our numbers to make their decisions.
We are an independent firm of quantity surveyors. We don't build and we don't sell materials, so there is no margin for us to chase. Our job is to measure, cost and report things as they are: from the first cost plan to the final account.
