QSFemi:
Happy new year.

I pray 2021 will be a great year for us all.


Now, I want to address the question or concern of this person.


I'm a practising Quantity Surveyor, as such I've the obligation to respond to issues like this.

First of all, Quantity Surveyors arrive at estimated construction costs based on available documents - drawings, specifications and approved instructions.

What I've observed in my years of experience that could cause significant difference between a QS estimate and the actual cost of construction is mostly "difference in specifications between the construction (QS) specifications as stated in the Bill of Quantities and the actual specifications done on site".

I want to cite an example. A QS can describe in his BOQ that oversite concrete (german floor) to be 150mm (6-inch) thickness. During construction, many project supervisors will never do 150mm thickness on site. Most would rather do 75mm to 100mm. This will significantly reduce the estimated cost thereby making clients to think that QS estimate are over bloated. This is just one example out of many decisions that happen during construction.

How do will solve this problem?

Answer: Engage your QS beyond pre-construction duties. Engage the QS during the construction of the project for he can easily identify this gap and fill it swiftly.

Conclusively, QS do not "over-egg" bills like that person thought.

Have a blissful year ahead.


Powerful!

We got this question from a silent follower on our platform. �

Pls can experienced homeowners share with us what their experiences are on the differences between what a Quantity Surveyor prices things at as opposed to what the ‘real’ costs for work are? I have been told repeatedly by two architects now that they QS’ ‘over-egg’ everything. How true is this?
