A Quantity Surveyor plays a vital role in managing the financial and contractual aspects of construction and engineering projects, ensuring effective cost control and value for money. Working closely with project teams, contractors, and clients, quantity surveyors oversee budgets, procurement, and contract administration, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget.

What Are the Key Responsibilities of a Quantity Surveyor?

As a Quantity Surveyor, your key tasks will involve cost estimation, preparing tenders, assessing variations, conducting valuations, and ensuring compliance with industry-standard contracts such as NEC or JCT. You will monitor project costs, identify financial risks, and provide regular cost reports to support decision-making. Quantity surveyors play an essential role in ensuring that financial aspects of a project are efficiently managed, from initial budgeting through to final account settlement. They also help manage contract negotiations, dispute resolutions, and ensure that the project remains on track from a financial perspective.

What Skills & Qualifications Do You Need?

To succeed in the role of a Quantity Surveyor, you will need strong analytical skills, commercial awareness, and a sound understanding of contract law. Experience in cost management, procurement strategies, and dispute resolution is highly valued. Many Quantity Surveyors hold professional accreditation such as MRICS (Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) or MCICES (Member of the Chartered Institute of Civil Engineering Surveyors). A background in construction management, combined with expertise in industry contracts and commercial practices, will be key to your success in this role.
