Quantity Surveying Construction

A construction quantity surveyor is an integral part of a building contractor’s team, working directly for the company that is carrying out the building work. Their main objective is to manage and control costs to maximize the contractor’s profit throughout the construction phase of a project.

This involves a wide range of on-site and office-based duties, such as managing sub-contractor accounts, assessing variations, submitting interim payment applications to the client’s representative and preparing the final account. They have a deep, practical understanding of the building process, materials, and potential site issues that could affect the budget. This role is heavily focused on the post-contract stage, meaning their work begins in earnest after the main contract has been awarded. Click to find out more about quantity surveying construction. 

Quantity Surveying Consultancy

A consultancy quantity surveyor, also known as a Professional Quantity Surveyor (PQS), is an independent financial advisor for the client or property developer. Their primary goal is to ensure the project delivers the best value for money and remains within the client’s budget.

A consultancy QS is involved from the earliest stages of a project, from feasibility studies and initial cost estimates, right through to preparing bills of quantities and tender documents for contractors. They provide a crucial, objective perspective on project costs, procurement, and risk management. Once construction is underway, they assess the contractor’s payment applications and manage the financial aspects of any variations, serving as the financial gatekeeper for the client.

Testimonials

“Olivia was highly professional throughout my experience in attaining a new position. Extremely friendly and helpful in understanding my then current predicament, and how she could best help. The process in moving jobs is highly stressful but was made much easier and more comfortable due to Olivia’s communication throughout the process, I was informed at each step of the process of how things were progressing. She also went out of her way to ring me on evenings and weekends as I was anxious to know whether I had secured the job. She has gone above and beyond to secure me the role, and has since followed up to see how I am doing.

I’m extremely happy, and have no complaints with my new role. She was able to get me the pay rise i was looking for, and a promotion in the process, as i was looking for an assistant position and was upgraded to QS.” – Quantity Surveyor, Construction Consultancy in Bristol
