â
The C P de Leeuw Group of quantity surveyors and property valuers was founded in 1958 by Dr C. P. de Leeuw. Under his visionary leadership, the Group grew to rank among the twenty largest quantity surveying practices worldwide.
In 2000, Dr Corné de Leeuw joined forces with his son, Gerhard, to establish DelQS in Johannesburg. This new chapter combined decades of experience and an exceptional track record with fresh energy and cutting-edge technological expertise.
Dr De Leeuw passed away in early 2019, leaving behind a legacy of over 65 years of dedicated service to the building industry. He was a pioneer and respected leader in the field of quantity surveying, whose commitment and contributions continue to influence the industry today.
DelQS remains committed to honouring his legacy. The values and principles he instilled in those around him have laid a solid foundation for the company-enabling it to deliver services grounded in first principles and guided by the example he set. Today, DelQS is well-equipped to manage projects of any scale while maintaining its hallmark strength: personalised, client-focused service.
Dr CP De Leeuw
We firmly believe that a team approach is of the utmost importance for the success of any project. Our team has vast experience in providing quantity surveying, and other services for all types of developments of any size.
We are proud that DelQS promotes and adheres to the requirements of BBBEE.
