About Us

ECS – Estimating and Construction Support Pty Ltd (ECS) is a privately-owned,
Brisbane-based business servicing the civil and construction industries.

Established in 2007, ECS provides estimating, quantity surveying, scheduling, programming and related project support services to client organisations and contractors across the industry. ECS’s services support early feasibility investigations through to tendering and procurement, project delivery, and final claim and cost reviews.

What makes ECS different is the real world, first-hand experience in delivering major construction projects our team has to offer. The knowledge and experience gained on-the-ground is the foundation for what we do and is the reason ECS is known for delivering accurate and robust outputs.

ECS clients range from smaller subcontractors through to Tier One contractors, consultants and Government Departments. This blend of contractor and client-side knowledge together with actual execution experience, means ECS is well-positioned to deliver the best advice and data, allowing our clients to manage their risk.

We work across multiple sectors including roads, rail, bridges, marine, airports, dams, defence, gas and more.

What We Do

The ECS team includes estimators, quantity surveyors, programmers, reviewers, engineers and project management personnel. ECS personnel are available to augment a client’s core staff or to independently provide a complete package of services

ESTIMATING

We deliver first-principles estimating services built on real site experience, historic data, and up-to-date market knowledge — ensuring accurate and reliable results at every phase of the project.

QUANTITY SURVEYING

Our experienced quantity surveyors support cost planning, tender analysis, claims and variations, and cost control, providing detailed insight throughout the project life cycle.

PROJECT SCHEDULING

From high-level planning to detailed programming, we help align project timelines with strategic objectives using industry-recognised tools and decades of site-based experience.

RISK SIMULATIONS & ASSESSMENT

We use Monte Carlo simulations and risk modelling to give our clients clarity and confidence in project cost and time forecasts.

CONSTRUCTABILITY & METHODOLOGY ADVICE

We apply hands-on experience to assess construction methods, logistics, staging, and risk — ensuring smarter, more buildable solutions from feasibility to delivery.

PROJECT SUPPORT

Whether supplementing a client’s team or delivering independently, we provide tailored support across estimating, engineering, management, and documentation roles — on-site or remote.
