A quantity surveyor (QS) is a construction professional who provides advice on the purchase and supply of materials, the costs of construction work and the value of property. They work with clients, architects, engineers, project managers and construction contractors to ensure that the cost of a project is controlled and that the project is delivered on time and within budget. A quantity surveyor will typically be involved in a project from the early stages, working with the client to develop a brief and feasibility study. They will then prepare cost estimates and tender documents, and oversee the procurement of contractors. Once the project is underway, the quantity surveyor will monitor costs and value, and report back to the client. There is a growing demand for quantity surveyor services, as the construction industry becomes increasingly complex and the costs of construction continue to rise. Quantity surveyors are therefore in a key position to advise clients on how to control costs and get the best value for money from their construction projects.
