Our Featured Solutions
Quantity surveyors are responsible for estimating and forecasting the costs of construction projects. They analyze project specifications, drawings, and other relevant documents to quantify the quantities of materials, labor, and equipment required. Using their knowledge of current market rates, they determine the costs associated with these quantities and provide accurate cost estimates.
Quantity surveyors contribute to value engineering exercises aimed at optimizing project costs without compromising quality. They collaborate with designers, engineers, and contractors to identify alternative materials, construction methods, and design solutions that offer cost savings while maintaining the project's functional and performance requirements. Quantity surveyors assess the cost implications of value engineering proposals and provide recommendations.
Quantity surveyors develop cost plans and budgets for construction projects. They work closely with clients, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to establish the project's financial objectives and constraints. Quantity surveyors prepare detailed cost breakdowns, cost models, and cash flow projections, ensuring that the project aligns with the client's budget and financial expectations.
Quantity surveyors are responsible for monitoring and controlling project costs throughout the construction process. They track expenditures, assess variations and change orders, and ensure that they are properly documented and approved. Quantity surveyors analyze the impact of changes on project costs, provide cost advice to project teams, and implement strategies to keep the project within budget.
Quantity surveyors may be involved in resolving disputes related to project costs. They provide expert advice and assistance in assessing and quantifying claims and disputes arising from changes, delays, or other issues. Quantity surveyors may be called upon to provide expert witness testimony and support legal or arbitration proceedings.
Quantity surveyors assist with procurement activities, including the preparation of tender documents and the evaluation of bids. They analyze subcontractor and supplier quotations, negotiate prices, and recommend the selection of the most suitable contractors and suppliers. Quantity surveyors also participate in the contract award process, ensuring that contracts are properly administered and executed.
Quantity surveyors prepare financial reports and cost statements to keep clients and project stakeholders informed about the project's financial status. They provide regular updates on the project's cost performance, forecast final costs, and highlight any significant cost variations or risks. Quantity surveyors may also assist with the preparation of financial claims, valuations, and final accounts.
Overall, quantity surveyors play a crucial role in managing project costs, from initial estimation to final account settlement. Their responsibilities encompass cost estimation, cost planning, procurement, value engineering, cost control, financial reporting, and dispute resolution. By fulfilling these responsibilities, quantity surveyors help ensure that construction projects are delivered within budget and in line with the client's financial objectives.
