Rodney Vapp & Associates Pty Ltd

About

The Quantity Surveying Practice of Rodney Vapp & Associates has been providing project cost management advice to a wide variety of government and private sector clients for over twenty-five years. Senior personnel are involved in every stage of a project.

Our Practice is committed to providing cost-effective solutions to design and construction proposals as part of the Project management team.

Since inception, the Practice has developed a strong pro-active role working closely with both client and consultants as a key contributor to the development of projects. An important part of the success of this role is our insistence on involvement at the earliest possible stage using historical data and all other means possible to establish budgets and to ensure that the initial designs are realistic in terms of those budgets.

The Practice has a broad range of experience in projects ranging from $50,000 to $66,000,000 in value, and in type, from specialist ones such as zoo exhibits, correctional facilities to aged care facilities, community centres, residential, commercial offices including new buildings and fitouts of new and existing buildings, retail projects, parks, gardens, landscapes, and many others.

Senior personnel all have considerable experience in projects relating to the state (DEECD) and private sector education, TAFE colleges and universities, Commonwealth, State and Local Government Authorities, non for profit organisations and Commercial Clients

The Practice is based in Victoria and has been involved in the cost management of projects across the State and has also worked successfully on projects throughout Australia, including Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Alice Springs, Cairns and Hobart.

The Practice has been heavily involved in environmental sustainable design over the past 10 years involving projects such as Council offices, Community Centres, Libraries, Schools, Aged Care and Residential.

The Practice was asked to join the design team from Council House 2 project in Melbourne in designing and budgeting for a highly sustainable Council office and Chambers Facility for a Council in the outer Metropolitan area. The proposal is still under consideration. However the Practice was able to gain valuable insights into sustainable design and its costs from the experience.
