QSs are refer to those involved in taking-off building & subsequently compiling the data into Bills of Quantity (BQ). Sometimes, we are called as an Estimator or Building Economist or Building Cost consultant. In Malaysia, QS only existed in 60's or 70's.
The roles of QS:
- To consult clients regarding the cost of the building
- To advice in any construction project.
- To approve the interim payment for contractors.
- Dannnn sewaktu dengannyaaaa...
And as a QS, one must have the SMM2 book (for Malaysia) for guidance. It's like a 'holy book' for QS. And QS in Malaysia has an institution, called The Institution of Surveyors, Malaysia (ISM) and affiliated with Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in UK.
Anything more? Go ahead to the ISM or RICS website.
