Career Profile - Quantity Surveyor
Career Profile
Quantity surveyors manage all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects, from the initial calculations to the final figures
As a quantity surveyor, you’ll seek to minimise the cost and risk of a construction project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required legal standards and quality. This includes ensuring statutory building regulations are met.
You’ll prepare estimates and costs of the work and when the project is in progress, you’ll keep track of any variations to the contract that may affect costs and create reports to show profitability.
Working either for the client or the contractor, in an office or on site, you’ll be involved in every stage of a project. Projects include commercial, industrial and residential constructions.
Alternative job titles include construction cost consultant, cost manager and commercial manager.
Responsibilities
Your exact duties will vary to a certain extent depending on whether you work for a consultancy as a private quantity surveyor (PQS) or for a contractor.
As a PQS you’ll advise clients from the initial design stage, working out the budget for the job and then putting it out for tender to contractors. The contractor’s quantity surveyor will usually be more hands-on, working on site and will liaise with the PQS. Many firms will provide a one-stop-shop from initial design through to completion.
However, as a quantity surveyor, you’ll typically need to:
* assist in establishing a client’s requirements and undertake feasibility studies to ensure their proposals will work
* prepare and analyse project costings for tenders, such as materials, quantities, labour and time
* prepare tender and contract documents, including bills of quantities with the architect and/or the client
* negotiate contracts and work schedules
* allocate work to subcontractors and oversee their work at all stages of the construction
* perform risk, value management and cost control during construction
* undertake cost analysis for repair and maintenance project work
* advise on a procurement strategy
* identify, analyse and develop responses to commercial risks
* provide advice on contractual claims and disputes
* analyse outcomes and write detailed progress reports
* value completed work, oversee bills and arrange payments
* maintain awareness of the different building contracts in current use
* understand the implications of health and safety regulations.
Once you’ve gained sufficient experience and specialist knowledge, you may also:
* offer advice on property taxation
* provide post-occupancy advice, facilities management services and life cycle costing advice
* assist clients in locating and accessing additional and alternative sources of funding
* enable clients to initiate construction projects
* advise on the maintenance costs of specific buildings.
Salary
* Salaries for trainees and graduate apprentices range from £21,000 to around £28,000, depending on your experience.
* Newly trained chartered surveyors can earn around £25,000 to £35,000.
* With experience, you can earn around £35,000 to £55,000.
* Salaries at management level range from around £50,000 to in excess of £80,000.
Salaries vary depending on your qualifications, skills and experience, your location, type of employer (e.g. consultancy or contractor) and the sector you work in. Obtaining chartered status increases both your job and salary prospects.
Bonuses are common if targets are met and increases in salary can often be achieved by gaining more qualifications and taking on extra responsibilities.
Other benefits may include a car allowance, pension, private healthcare and life insurance.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Working hours are typically 37 to 40 hours per week, though occasional weekend work may be required.
If you work at a consultancy (private practice) or in a local government department, you’ll typically work a standard office working week.
Working for a contractor on site, your working hours may be longer, and you may have to do shift work.
What to expect
* The work is office based (which may be on a construction site), but also includes site visits, which can take up a whole day. If you’re working on a construction site, you’ll need to wear protective gear.
* Jobs are available working on construction projects throughout the UK. Self-employment/freelance work is possible with experience.
* The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is working to increase diversity in the surveying profession through a number of initiatives.
* Travel within a working day is likely and may involve overnight stays.
* There are some opportunities for overseas posts and for occasional overseas work or travel.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write clear reports for conveying complex information in a simple way to a diverse range of people
* strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build and develop relationships
* numerical and data analysis skills
* a creative and innovative approach to problem solving
* IT skills and the ability to learn sophisticated design and costing IT packages
* team work skills and the ability to motivate and lead those on site
* project management skills
* resilience, determination and the ability to work well under pressure
* good commercial awareness
* a practical, logical and methodical approach to work
* attention to detail
* detailed knowledge of past and current building and construction technology, processes, materials, business and legal matters.
Career prospects
You’ll typically start your career as a trainee quantity surveyor and once qualified you’ll move on to junior/assistant surveyor, supporting the work of senior surveyors. You’ll usually spend around two to three years in a junior role, developing your skills and experience.
You can then move on to an intermediate role, working independently and going on to manage larger scale projects with bigger budgets and limited or no supervision. It’s important to gain chartered status to improve your career prospects and salary.
Once you’ve become a chartered quantity surveyor, you may wish to continue working across a broad range of disciplines or specialise in a certain type of infrastructure, such as road or bridge construction.
Another option is to specialise in a particular discipline such as civil engineering, capital allowances and tax, supply chain management, planning and legal services such as contractual disputes.
With a further two to three years’ experience, it’s possible to move into a senior surveying role, with responsibility for trainee and junior surveyors. Further career progression is possible into roles such as quantity surveyor manager, project manager, or contracts or commercial manager. You’ll usually need a minimum of ten years’ experience for these types of roles, and leadership skills as well as advanced communication and analytical skills.
There are opportunities for experienced professionals to move into freelance consultancy work or self-employment. There are also some opportunities for working abroad.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
