Commercial QS consultancy for contract risks, variation orders and final accounts.
SY Strategy Surveying supports fit-out, renovation, MEP, specialist trade and small A&A contractors. Work begins with the available contract records and separates what was instructed, submitted, assessed, paid and still outstanding.
- Define the review scope and exclusions before work starts.
- Build an assessable record rather than an unsupported headline amount.
- Identify missing substantiation before submission or negotiation.
Stephen Yiu
Stephen Yiu has more than 20 years of quantity surveying and project management experience, including previous roles with consultants and developers. His work spans residential, commercial, fit-out, hotel and data-centre projects in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
This experience gives him practical insight into how payment applications, VO submissions and final accounts are reviewed, challenged and assessed. SY Strategy Surveying applies that consultant and developer perspective to help contractors organise records, identify substantiation gaps and prepare clearer commercial positions.
“Many small contractors complete the work properly but weaken their commercial position because records, pricing and contract procedures are not kept under control. My aim is to explain the problem clearly and establish workable next actions.”
Focused support, with a clearly defined role.
