Our Story
Quality-Driven for a More Predictable and Seamless Experience
In 2021, I founded Vidos Solutions Ltd (VSL) with a clear vision in mind—to bridge a significant gap in the market for high-quality quantity surveying and planning services tailored to Tier 1 and Tier 2 Contractors.
My journey began during my time as a consultant on the prestigious HS2 project. It was there that I realised the pressing need for a more precise and expert-driven approach to support clients in achieving their objectives. This insight became the driving force behind VSL, and I set out to create a company that would not only meet but exceed the standards of the industry
Over the years, I’ve seen first-hand how the industry is facing a skills shortage, which has become even more evident as time passes. What’s more, the construction sector has often been slow to embrace the technology and innovation that could truly transform the way we work. That’s why I’m so passionate about bringing VSL into the modern era—by integrating cutting-edge solutions that drive efficiency, improve outcomes, and make a real difference for our clients.
As I’ve grown VSL, I’ve come to deeply understand the vital role Quantity Surveyors (QS) play in the success of any project. Our work directly impacts the bottom line—ensuring cost-effective management and delivering value.
At VSL, we’re proud to not only provide unparalleled precision but to lead the way toward a more innovative, efficient future in the construction industry. I’m excited for what lies ahead as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible and make an even greater impact on the projects and clients we serve.

Our Approach
Inaccurate Initial Cost Estimate Causes Budget Overrun
We work closely with our clients to reassess the budget with a clear, objective view of where pressures are coming from and what can be done about them. Our priority is to provide practical options that help our clients stay in control of costs without compromising their project objectives. To achieve this, we conduct a structured cost review, breaking down each work package and benchmarking costs against industry standards to highlight areas for potential savings. Whether it’s refining the scope, phasing works, or finding efficiencies, we focus on solutions that align with what matters most to our clients.
Scope Creep Results in Uncontrolled Variations
Scope changes can quickly impact budgets and schedules, and our role is to help our clients stay on top of them. We ensure every change is properly recorded, assessed, and communicated clearly so that our clients always have an accurate picture of the impact. We achieve this by implementing a structured change control process, tracking each request through a detailed change register that captures cost and programme implications in real time. Our structured approach helps clients make informed decisions, ensuring they maintain control and avoid unnecessary cost overruns and delays.
Delayed Procurement Disrupts Programme Schedule
We help our clients manage the approval process by working closely with their design and procurement teams to track progress and identify bottlenecks early. Our structured approach keeps things moving by ensuring key decision points are met on time. To address approval delays, we establish clear approval workflows with deadlines and escalation triggers to ensure that nothing is left unresolved. By maintaining clear communication and focusing on what’s critical, we support our clients in keeping their projects on schedule without unnecessary compromises.
Contract Dispute Over Payment Milestones
Impact: Cash flow issues, legal disputes, and reputational damage due to perceived poor financial management.
Poor Subcontractor Performance Affects Quality and Schedule
We act in our clients’ best interests by ensuring payment issues are handled fairly and in line with contract agreements. We take an objective, fact-based approach to reviewing progress and payments, helping to find a resolution that keeps the project moving. To resolve disputes effectively, we provide a detailed reconciliation report that compares completed work against contract milestones, giving all parties a clear and impartial view of the situation. Our clients can rely on us to provide clarity and pragmatic solutions that prevent disputes from escalating and impacting progress.
