Koste Awarded Highly Commended – Quantity Surveying Team of the Year
RICS Awards 2025, Melbourne
We are proud to announce that Koste Chartered Quantity Surveyors has been recognised as Highly Commended – Quantity Surveying Team of the Year at the RICS Australia Awards 2025, held in Melbourne.
This recognition represents one of the highest achievements in the Quantity Surveying profession, celebrating leadership, integrity, and innovation across the built environment.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is the world’s most respected authority for property professionals, and being recognised on this stage confirms that Koste operates among the very best in Australia and globally.
Raising the Bar for Quantity Surveying and Tax Depreciation
At Koste, we are passionate about raising professional standards in Quantity Surveying and Tax Depreciation. Our mission is to ensure property investors and business owners receive the same level of qualified expertise and accuracy they’d expect from their accountant or lawyer.
According to the RICS Awards 2025 Winners Brochure, Koste was commended for redefining excellence in Asset and Tax Depreciation, delivering over 3,000 Tax Depreciation Reports in 2024 and helping clients unlock more than $8 billion in tax deductions.
Powered by our proprietary AI-driven platform, Capal, and a team of Chartered Quantity Surveyors, Koste continues to set new standards in accuracy, compliance, and client service across Australia.
“This award is more than recognition,” said Mark Kilroy, CEO of Koste Chartered Quantity Surveyors.
“It’s reassurance for investors, accountants, and business owners that when they choose Koste, they’re working with a team recognised internationally for professional standards, accuracy, and client outcomes.”
Why Choosing the Right Quantity Surveyor Matters
When it comes to Tax Depreciation, not all providers are equal. The cheapest option isn’t always the best option.
A high-quality Tax Depreciation Schedule, prepared by a qualified Quantity Surveyor, ensures every deduction is accurate, compliant, and defensible.
Koste’s recognition from RICS reinforces what our clients already know — that every Tax Depreciation Report we deliver is audit-ready, prepared to global standards, and designed to maximise financial outcomes for property investors and business owners.
“Choosing a Quantity Surveyor is like choosing a lawyer or accountant,” Kilroy added. “Expertise and ethics matter. Every report we prepare represents trust, accuracy, and accountability.”
