We are a cost consultancy and project management firm focussed on enabling remarkable construction projects through strong cost management and control and simple but efficient project management.
Our Mission
We are inspired by projects that enhance our living environments and understand that construction is an enduring contribution to society that should balance considered design, economic means and the responsible use of natural resources. At SigmaQS we strive towards excellence and efficiency with a small core team that punches well above its weight. Our goal is to become a leading quantity surveying consultancy for remarkable and iconic projects.
Information management is fundamental to our service. We maintain a high standard of clear, concise and informative analytical reporting, enabling efficient decision-making across all stakeholders. We also recognise that people are integral to the construction process and actively build strong relationships with our clients and project teams to create a supportive and collaborative working environment. Together, our team brings almost 40 years of construction and quantity surveying experience across a wide range of projects and sectors.

Herman Mynhardt
Director | Professional Quantity Surveyor | Project Manager
BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying (UFS, 2007) | BSc Civil Engineering (UCT, 2015) |Master of Urban Design (HKU, 2021)
I am passionate about construction and the way it shapes the world we live in. My approach to quantity surveying is to understand the vision and needs of our clients to ensure that we determine and manage a budget that achieves their design ambitions while maintaining strict budget control. I also enjoy a high-level project management role where I lean on my technical skills and design background to strip a problem of irrelevant clutter to help focus the team on the core of what needs to happen to get the job done. When I am not working towards my goals I try to experience the slow life somewhere unspoilt, wild and beautiful.
