Our Services
Homeowners Looking to Renovate
Thinking about making changes to your home but unsure if they’re structurally possible and what it cost? Now you don’t have to wonder. We offer a free inspection and professional advice, giving you clarity on what’s feasible before committing to the project.
Renovation projects are notorious for running over budget and over time, but that doesn’t have to be the case. For a small fee, we provide an accurate cost estimate before the project starts, helping you decide whether to proceed without the stress of uncertainty. Should you appoint us to manage the entire project, we’ll waive the feasibility report fee — giving you even more value.
If you're dealing with structural concerns or drainage problems, we’ll investigate, assess, and recommend remedial measures—ensuring your home remains safe and functional. We will provide a comprehensive report discussing the findings, analysis and remedial measures to be implemented.
Residential Architects
You've spent countless hours crafting the perfect architectural design—only for the client’s first question to be, "What will it cost?" We provide accurate cost estimates so you can focus on design while we handle the numbers.
If a client provides a budget, we can guide your design allowances from the start, ensuring the project remains financially viable. This prevents countless hours spent on a design that may later prove to be over budget. The cost of this service is minimal in the greater scheme of the project, yet it plays a crucial role in keeping the client informed, confident, and satisfied from the outset.
Residential Builders
Are you tired of working all day, only to spend your evenings stuck at a computer pricing new jobs, which might not realize? Let us handle the costing for you, so you can focus on what you do best—building. Should you appoint us to manage the entire project, we’ll waive the project costing fee cost—giving you even more value.
Finding an engineer to sign off structural/ civil elements to obtain municipal approvals can often mean hefty fees, but we specialize in small-scale projects and offer competitive pricing for structural design work—ensuring compliance without breaking the budget.
Property Developers and Investors
We will at no cost to the client provide an initial consultation consisting of discussions regarding the proposed project, scope of works and possible development alternatives.
We will produce a high-level Feasibility Study based on the initial consultation and information provided. The Feasibility Study will be high level to provide the client with the possible opportunities available with regards to potential profit and return on investment. Should the client require an in-depth report with regards to the project’s potential, a more detailed Feasibility Study with a preliminary Cost Estimate or a full Development Proposal will be produced as described below.
We recommend that the client chooses the Feasibility Study and Cost Estimate Report option, as this will provide the client with the most detailed information depending on the information available at the time of request to make an informed decision with regards to the project. Zion Developments can also recommend or include Architects at an additional fee to have an Architect draw up concept designs for the potential project to enable the Quantity Surveying team to produce a more accurate and detailed Cost Estimate.
The Development Proposal is a full comprehensive report pertaining to the project. This will follow the initial Feasibility Study and Cost Estimate as full concept drawings and Civil/Structural Engineering input has been requested at this point. The Development Proposal will include the following:
- Detailed Feasibility Study and Cash Flow projections
- Detailed Elemental Cost Estimate / Provisional Bills of Quantities
- Detailed Market Analysis (Market Segmentation, Demand and Supply dynamics, Price trends and Cost structures, etc.)
- Rental Schedule and Sales Schedule
- Preliminary Development Program
The above options contain elements of Quantity Surveying Services of stages 1 to 3 of the development process, however, if the client requires full Quantity Surveying services from the starting point, prices can be negotiated based on the Professional Fee guide to fit the Client’s budget.
During the construction phase, we provide expert Project Management services to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Our key services include:

Town Planners
We assist town planners and their clients by providing a clear development concept based on the new zoning regulations. Our reports outline potential development options, associated costs, and expected returns, ensuring well-informed decision-making from the start.
Traffic Engineers
Clients often request alterations to existing developments that require a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA). While they may understand the need for upgrades, they’re often unaware of the potential costs. By including accurate cost estimates in your reports, you provide clients with a clear financial picture upfront, helping them make informed decisions. This added value not only streamlines approvals but also elevates your status in the client’s pecking order—positioning you as a trusted advisor rather than just a compliance requirement.
