I'll keep this here as a reminder should I forget. So, what does a Quantity Surveyor do? well basically I save you money, not by buying the cheapest but by analysing the work in a construction project in detail. I prepare Bills of Quantities and Building Estimates for construction projects for both property owners and builders.
This involves describing, taking-off (measuring from drawings) the work content of the project from the drawings, and presenting the information into a priceable contract document called a Bill of Quantities.As the client you can then take the lead in what is being priced for. The builder can then quote for the work exactly to your requirements and you can gain as many quotes as you want all on the same basis.
The work items can be individually priced enabling detailed comparison of all the quotes received. After accepting the quote any variations can be checked against the Bill of Quantities to see if the quantities have increased or decreased and the rates can be used as a basis to price variations.
