Website Terms
Terms governing use of the QS and Estimating Consultants Ltd website, including information, reliance, ownership, external links and updates.
These website terms explain the basis on which the QS and Estimating Consultants Ltd (QSEC) provides this website. By using the site, you acknowledge that the information is general website content and is not a substitute for advice on a specific construction project or contract.
General Information
We provide website content for general information. Construction cost, entitlement, programme, procurement and contractual outcomes depend on the signed contract, project facts, records and current information. Therefore, do not treat content on this site as project-specific professional, contractual or legal advice.
No Project Reliance
A formal appointment must define QSEC’s duties, deliverables, assumptions and any permitted reliance. In addition, no website page, article, estimate example or downloadable material creates a professional appointment or changes the terms of an existing appointment.
Accuracy and Updates
QSEC aims to keep website information clear and useful, but construction practice, legislation, published guidance, market conditions and third-party information can change. Therefore, check current project documents and authoritative sources before relying on a time-sensitive statement.

Unless we state otherwise, website content belongs to QSEC or we use it with permission. You may read, print or save reasonable extracts for your own legitimate use. However, republishing substantial content, removing attribution or presenting QSEC material as your own may require prior permission.
External Links
We provide links to third-party websites for convenience and context. However, a link does not mean QSEC controls, endorses or accepts responsibility for the third-party website, its availability or its content.
Website Availability and Security
QSEC may update, suspend or change parts of the website. We take reasonable steps to maintain security and availability. However, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. Users should maintain appropriate security controls on their own devices and systems.
