I have lots of experience and thoughts about QS because I am one (well, technically I am a Cost Manager, but it is pretty much the same thing)! hahaha...
Jcwc888, are your properties in Melbourne? Also, have you ever got someone to do a TDS for you before???
What sort of advice were you looking for? TDS fees? how a typical TDS is done? A good QS firm???
Also, for those that don't know, a QS can prepare indicative TDS which is far cheaper than an actual TDS, although the catch is the QS firm would tell you to get stuffed if you only want one (it is really for developers who wants a stack of them to market their apartments etc...)
