 PREFACE

Quantity Surveyor is a construction industry profession with expert

knowledge in construction cost and contracts. His role is equally important as the other
professionals such as engineers, architects, draftsman etc. in the construction field. The
management of costs and funds begins in the planning stages and carries forward until all
actual costs have been leveled.

The purpose of the cost management by a Quantity surveyor is to

minimize the amount of money a client needs to spend on a project and a quality output.
Every good quantity surveyor must have a good knowledge of building materials and
construction. Surveyor must be very systematic and careful to provide correct calculations
as well as be able to visualize drawings and details.

To make sure that the quantity bill is accurate, surveyor needs to

be sure of all requirements of architects. Arranged bill needs to be clear and easily
understood to prevent any costly misunderstandings
