Quantity surveyors cover a huge number or roles working for both clients and contractors. For clients they will advise the initial costs for schematic drawings and develop this through to the design development process. They administer the procurement of the contractor, value the works as the site progresses and agree the Final Account.

For contractors, they will calculate the materials required for the project, procure the sub-contractors, agree the monthly valuations with the client and ultimately the final account.
