Quantity Surveying

Quantity surveying is the process of estimating and controlling the costs of construction and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure. It involves a wide range of activities, including:

• Preparing bills of quantities (BoQs), which are detailed lists of the materials and labour required for a construction project.
• Calculating cost estimates for construction projects.
• Monitoring and controlling project costs.
• Advising clients on cost-effective construction methods and materials.
• Preparing contract documents.
• Managing disputes and claims.

Quantity surveyors play a vital role in the construction industry. They help to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget and that they meet the required quality standards.

Quantity surveying is a complex and challenging profession, but it is also very rewarding. Quantity surveyors have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from small residential developments to large-scale infrastructure projects. They also have the opportunity to work with a variety of people, including builders, architects, engineers, contractors, and clients.
