What does a quantity surveyor do?
The quantity surveyor covers a huge number of roles from working for both Clients and contractors. For Clients he will advise the very initial costs for schematic drawings and develop this through the design development process. He will administer the procurement of the contractor, value the works as the site progresses and agree the Final Account. For Contractors he will calculate the materials required for the project, procure the sub contractors, agree the monthly valuations with the client and ultimately the final Account.
