The Registry of Marriages (ROM) @ Esplanade project involved the renovation and adaptation of an existing space at The Esplanade Mall that now serves as an interim facility for marriage registration services.

Transforming existing spaces into functional public facilities requires careful planning, cost consideration, and coordination between project stakeholders. Through professional quantity surveying consultancy, we supported the project with cost management expertise and commercial guidance to help ensure that financial considerations remained aligned with project requirements.

Renovation and alteration works often involve unique challenges compared with new developments. Existing site conditions, design requirements, construction constraints, and operational needs must be carefully considered to achieve a successful outcome.

For the Registry of Marriages @ Esplanade project, effective cost planning and financial oversight were important as the place was being constructed to be an adaptation of an existing space into a facility designed to meet public service needs. Through structured cost assessments and ongoing commercial reviews, stakeholders gained greater visibility over project costs and financial considerations throughout the works.

Successful renovation projects require more than physical transformation — they require careful management of costs, resources, and project requirements throughout the construction journey.

By providing quantity surveying expertise and commercial support, we were able to help stakeholders navigate cost-related considerations and make informed decisions during the project lifecycle. Through professional advice and structured cost management practices, the project team was supported in achieving greater control over financial commitments.

As the Consultant Quantity Surveyor, we provided both professional quantity surveying and construction cost consultancy services for the Registry of Marriages @ Esplanade renovation works. Working alongside the client, consultants, and main contractor, we endorsed the project through cost management and commercial advisory services.

Our responsibilities included:

Quantity surveying consultancy services

Cost planning and cost management

Cost estimation and reporting

Effective cost management plays an important role in delivering successful renovation projects. Through continuous cost reviews, assessments, and commercial evaluations, we provided stakeholders with improved visibility over project costs and financial considerations.

By applying professional quantity surveying expertise and structured cost management practices, we managed the successful delivery of the Registry of Marriages @ Esplanade renovation works, helping create a functional space for an important public service.
