Last updated: 20 August 2026
Who we are
Sydney Quantity Surveyors ("we", "us", "our") is a chartered quantity surveying practice at Level 1, 44 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000. We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Information we collect
We collect personal information you give us directly — typically your name, company, email address, phone number and details of the project you are enquiring about — when you submit an enquiry form, email us or engage us for a commission.
We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed and referring site, to keep the website secure and understand how it is used.
How we use your information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, prepare fee proposals, deliver quantity surveying and cost management services, manage our client relationships, meet professional and legal obligations, and improve our website.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for marketing purposes without your consent.
Disclosure
We may disclose personal information to service providers who support our practice (for example hosting, email and document platforms), to our professional advisers and insurers, and where required or authorised by law. Some providers may store data outside Australia; we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle it consistently with the APPs.
Storage and security
Personal information is held in access-controlled systems and retained only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected or as required by law, professional standards and insurance obligations. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect it from misuse, loss and unauthorised access.
Access, correction and complaints
You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you by emailing projects@contractaustralia.com.au. We will respond within a reasonable period. If you are not satisfied with our response to a privacy complaint, you may refer the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page.
