history

Postma Quantity Surveying (PQS) was founded in 1996 by Wes Postma after seeing a need in the industry for quantity surveying and loan monitoring services in the Manitoba marketplace. From its humble beginnings as a single person office in the basement of 154 Dumoulin, the business continued to grow year over year, slowly adding employees, clients and revenues year over year. By 2013 it was apparent that to manage the growing workload and clients, additional staff were required, and Wes hired his first employee.  The growth continued and in 2019 the premises at 154 Dumoulin could not longer support the business operations and the operations were moved to the current location at 93 Lombard.  

In 2020, the business transitioned into Postma Consulting Ltd. to better represent the company not only as a provider of quantity surveying services, but as a full-service consulting firm with expertise in financing, real estate, loan monitoring, estimating, life cycled costing and project management.  After nearly 43 years in the business and years of dedication in growing the business Wes has changed roles, moving out of the position of President, and acting as a Senior Advisor to the firm.  Ben Postma assumed the role of President in 2022 and is looking forward to many more years of successful growth and transition.
