Quantity surveying documents for projects in Eswatini
Measured bills of quantities, material schedules and cost estimates for Eswatini projects, prepared remotely from your drawings and priced with a stated currency and date basis.
Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, has a compact construction market closely linked to South Africa's, with the lilangeni pegged to the rand and much material sourced across the border. That linkage means South African rates are a reasonable starting point, and border logistics a real cost line.
We prepare measured documents for Swazi projects and review cost estimates for accuracy against the drawings.
What we can deliver for a project in Eswatini
Bill of quantities
Measured trade by trade from your drawings, priced in Lilangeni (SZL), pegged to the rand or issued blank for tender to local contractors.
Material schedule
Itemised quantities of blocks, cement, aggregates, roofing, finishes and services, staged so purchasing follows construction.
Cost estimate
Elemental cost plan with the rate basis, currency and date stated, and import or logistics costs shown separately.
Review of a bill prepared locally
An independent check on quantities and rates in documentation prepared by another party, before you tender or sign.
- Documents travel; site attendance does notEverything above is prepared remotely from drawings and written information.
- Currency and date basis statedCurrency pegging to the rand and cross-border sourcing make South African rate data a usable baseline, adjusted for logistics.
- Local professional where neededWhere a project requires on-site presence in Eswatini, we will say so and not take the instruction.
Cities we receive enquiries from
Most enquiries from Eswatini relate to projects in or near Mbabane, Manzini, Lobamba, Siteki. The location matters for the estimate, because material transport and labour rates vary between regions, so tell us where the site is even though the work is prepared remotely.
What to send
Architectural drawings in PDF or DWG, structural drawings if they exist, the site location, and the standard of finish intended.
What you receive
A measured document in editable and PDF form, with assumptions listed and the rate basis stated.
Turnaround
Typically 5 to 10 working days for a bill of quantities once complete drawings are received.

No. Field-based attendance is offered in Nigeria only. For Eswatini we prepare documents remotely from drawings and written information, and we will say plainly when a project needs a local professional on site.

Estimates are normally prepared in Lilangeni (SZL), pegged to the rand, with the rate basis and the date of the rates stated. If you need the figure in naira, dollars or another currency for comparison, ask and we will show the conversion basis used.
