TempTask.co.uk Quantity Surveying was devised to provide an online automated outsourcing Web Application, delivering the provision of the services of experienced, qualified and competent Quantity Surveyors to Main Contractors, small Contractors, Subcontractors, Consultancies and developers  on a nil commitment, flexible basis, for the most widely used duties and task requirements.

Welcome to TempTask

At TempTask, we’re proud to offer what in our opinion is the UK’s first and best Web Application specifically dedicated to outsourcing Quantity Surveying requirements

Devised by experienced Quantity Surveyors, we have vast experience of clients who do not have the resource of a Quantity Surveyor and see them not achieve their entitlement, or have a hard time getting to that end result.

We work by facilitating the matching of Clients who are looking for Quantity Surveyors to carry out Quantity Surveying tasks on their behalf, with experienced, qualified and competent Quantity Surveyors who are registered on our site and are willing and able to provide their services on an individual task, nil-commitment basis.

You directly contract with your Client, and we provide facilities for you to get tasks delivered. 

We handle payment, and facilitate payment through our ecommerce facilities, enabling you to get the task completed quickly and efficiently without the barriers and time constraints of procurement.  We provide the tools to assist in delivery of your task through our Messenger service allowing communication and file sharing.

The automation of the website is a new way of these delivering services. The process is as automated as possible, saving both time and expense to the client and their chosen Quantity Surveyor.
