Quantity Surveying (QS) is a highly specialised area and requires approved qualifications. It has been traditionally associated with large construction projects.

However, as the economy and tax systems become more complex, property investors and the related service industries - banks, accountants and property developers - increasingly need to employ the unique skills of Quantity Surveyors.

In recognising these needs, the LandMark White Group, in addition to its well known valuation services, offer the expertise of qualified Quantity Surveyors.

LMW Quantity Surveyors is a wholly owned subsidiary of LandMark White, a publicly listed company, and has been established by national independent property advisers LandMark White to service this sector of the market.

By applying the same progressive philosophy that made LandMark White a force in the commercial markets, LMW Quantity Surveyors will quickly become a major player focusing on business processes and quality control.

Our Quantity Surveyors, together with our valuation team cater for the entire property investment process: from development, through acquisition to maximising the returns on investment and generating positive cash flow.

Our Quantity Surveyor will provide you with the following tools to help manage your investment:

• Capital Allowances Schedules (tax depreciation) on all income producing properties in accordance with the Income Tax Assessment Act tax ruling TR97/25 and Division 43.
• Accurate Insurance Assessments to protect your investment
• Construction finance requirements
• Construction project planning and feasibility studies
• Progress Reports on Construction Projects

Our accredited Quantity Surveyors will effectively provide you and your clients with these services. The tax act requires that Division 43 assessments be carried out by a suitably qualified person and includes Quantity Surveyors.

Capital Allowances Schedules (Tax Depreciation)

The majority of property investors are not claiming deductions that can present immediate and ongoing cash flow returns on their properties. Why?

They may not be aware of the value of a Capital Allowances Schedule. A Quantity Surveyor is best qualified to compile an ATO approved schedule.

The LMW Quantity Surveyors team specialises in research relating to building tax. Their knowledge will ensure maximum tax deductions and returns on your or your clients' property investments:

• On new fully depreciating properties
• On older buildings, under 'Special Building Write-off
• On fixtures and fittings and improvements

Can you afford to give your hard earned money away? The best time to obtain a Tax Depreciation Schedule and prepare your claim is when you are preparing the actual tax return. This is the best time to contact the experts at LMW Quantity Surveyors.
