BDSA Quantity Surveyors prepares ATO-compliant tax depreciation schedules for residential and commercial properties.

Services include detailed property inspections, asset life calculations, and 10-40 year deduction forecasts tailored to construction dates and ownership structures.

We deliver accurate construction cost estimates for architects, developers, and builders. Our services include feasibility studies, council DA submissions, and bank finance reports with detailed cost breakdowns for materials, labour, and compliance requirements across residential and commercial projects.
Expert Witness Reports
Our expert witness services address construction disputes through detailed cost analysis and litigation support. We prepare tribunal/court reports on contract breaches, defect claims, and project audits, leveraging 30+ years of industry experience to provide clear, defensible documentation.
