Independent quantity surveying, feasibility analysis, and development advisory for residential and mixed-use projects across Metro Vancouver and British Columbia.
Graham Smith is a Quantity Surveyor and the principal of Godiva Consulting Inc., a Vancouver-area consulting practice focused on construction cost planning, feasibility studies, development advisory, and project risk analysis.
The practice supports developers, property owners, lenders, and project stakeholders in understanding the financial and delivery realities of complex development projects before major capital commitments are made.
Work is focused primarily on residential, mixed-use, and urban redevelopment projects throughout Metro Vancouver and British Columbia, with particular attention to feasibility, construction escalation risk, delivery assumptions, and development viability.
Godiva Consulting focuses on practical, evidence-based analysis grounded in real market conditions, construction realities, and financial risk awareness.
The objective is not simply to produce cost reports, but to help clients better understand the underlying assumptions, constraints, and risks that influence project viability and delivery outcomes.
This includes evaluating escalation exposure, development timing risk, procurement conditions, market uncertainty, constructability considerations, and the relationship between construction cost, financing, and development feasibility.
Metro Vancouver projects continue to face increasing pressure from construction cost escalation, financing constraints, approval timelines, labour shortages, infrastructure requirements, and changing market conditions.
Independent advisory and early-stage feasibility analysis have become increasingly important for developers, lenders, and project teams seeking to reduce risk exposure and improve decision-making quality during the planning and pre-construction phases.
