CQS Solutions review
Ranked 9 of 10 in Quantity surveyors in Telford
Best for: contractor cost management and quantity surveying support
Active
Trading as CQS Solutions Ltd · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire, West Midlands
CQS Solutions in short
CQS Solutions is the table's only true quantity surveying practice, offering cost management and project management to contractors, subcontractors, local authorities and architects. That cost-consultancy brief is unique in this round. A company record running since two thousand and seven, with quantity surveying as its stated trade, sits behind the name.
There is no review record to report for CQS Solutions: no Google reviews are on record and no other platform appears in the evidence. That silence is a gap rather than a verdict. The firm publishes a landline, a mobile and an email address.
What counts against the firm is sourcing and paperwork: industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked, and fees, VAT position and insurance details are unpublished. Its setup as a cost consultancy differs from the home-survey practices elsewhere in this round.
Our verdict
Our judgement: CQS suits you if you need a Telford-based quantity surveyor for cost or project management on a construction brief, backed by a company record running since 2007 [1] [2]. Its setup as a cost consultancy differs from the home-survey practices elsewhere in this round. The gaps are published fees, insurance details and any review record.

Questions about CQS Solutions
Is CQS Solutions any good?
On the evidence, it suits construction briefs: it ranks ninth in our September round and is the table's only true cost consultancy, serving contractors and public bodies. No review record exists. Read the full review, then test it with a detailed enquiry.
Is CQS Solutions RICS registered?
Industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked. That covers RICS and every other scheme. Ask what credentials the team holds and for client references from similar work. Get both confirmed before you agree anything.
What does CQS Solutions charge?
It publishes no fees, rates or VAT terms, inviting project enquiries instead. That means your written quote does the talking: send the project scope and ask for a fixed figure or fee basis. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything.
Where does CQS Solutions work?
The practice works from Telford across Shropshire, Wales and the West Midlands. That patch suits regional construction briefs, so send your site details with the enquiry and describe the project. Ask about current lead times and availability for live tenders.
How is CQS Solutions ranked?
