We are Australia's most trusted and reliable quantity surveying and asset management consultancy
MBM has come a long way since opening our doors in 2002. Thanks to the work of a small team of quantity surveyors, who nurtured the business through a dedication to exceptional client service, MBM has grown into a national consultancy with 200 experts and seven offices across Australia.
More than just cost managers, MBM’s experts deliver asset and facilities management, building consultancy, tax & asset services, and expert witness advice. While the firm has evolved, our commitment to excellence has not; our whole-of-life services are helping clients strategically plan, build, and manage projects and assets throughout their life-cycle.
