The Responsibilities of a Quantity Surveyor Is- As the construction industry grows, more and more skilled roles are becoming available, especially in positions like quantity surveyor. Quantity surveyors are responsible for the cost of any building project - from initial estimates, right through to the final acquisition of materials. Surveying jobs and their associated roles are varied - but focussed on providing clients value for money while adhering to the strict regulations which govern every aspect of the construction industry.

The day to day responsibilities of include roles inside the office, on the construction site - or in meetings with clients and other project personnel. While the very nature of construction work ensures no two projects are ever the same, a typical work day might involve:

• preparation of contracts, including details regarding quantities of required  materials
• on-going cost analysis of maintenance and repair work
• feasibility studies of client requests
• analysing completed work and arranging payment to contractors
• allocating upcoming work to contractors
• site visits, assessments and projections for future work

Quantity surveyors may choose to specialize in a specific area of the construction industry - and focus on areas like property taxation, costing advice, maintenance of existing buildings and application to funding sources.

Being in HSE Job Works and being a Graduated of Civil Engineering, it is great advantage that I can make a Material Quantity Take-off or Quantity Estimating of Materials, like: the Materials or Logistic needed in the Safety works in General.
