What is quantity surveying?
Quantity surveying is the specialist skill of controlling costs and materials for building projects, where this is a new build, a refurbishment or a maintenance project. The job of quantity surveying is wide and varies from project to project, but there are several common aspects to most projects. One part of the role is liaising with the client to identify their needs. Having done this, the surveyor uses their expertise to estimate the quantities and costs of materials needed for the project. Having an accurate estimation allows precise planning. Additionally, quantity surveying has a quality control aspect, as it includes checking that the building project meets the correct regulatory standards, as well as the safety standards that are expected.
Additionally, through quantity surveying, surveyors often manage the contracts and subcontracting of work for the project, and then manage the payments as the work continues. Because the surveyor has a keen understanding of the project, they are the best placed to carry out this type of organisation and administration to ensure a smooth project.
How can quantity surveying benefit your building project?
If you are in the planning stages of a project, quantity surveying is the key to have accurate information to get started. After all, incorrect estimates for the project could be too low, leading to a problem mid-project, or too high, resulting in difficulties in securing the funding. Further, quantity surveying will ensure that your project meets all the expected regulatory standards, with the result that there are no nasty surprises down the line.
Once the project is under way, quantity surveying is a way to control the costs as well as the scale of the project. In short, with good quantity surveying, you can be sure that you are getting value for your money.
