Eurovia's infrastructure projects in Doncaster

Client need

City of Doncaster Council is undertaking a number of highways projects in the Doncaster region, partnering with Eurovia.

Eurovia needed a project quantity surveyor for the Doncaster Quality Streets P2 project, which involves upgrading the city’s streets and sidewalks, and the Doncaster iPort bridge, which involves building a new road and bridge for access to a new housing development.

To effectively manage Eurovia’s position on the projects from a business perspective, the projects required a qualified quantity surveyor who had a solid understanding of the NEC form of contract.
