Quantity Surveyors: Mastering the Economics of Construction – Mehta Surveyor and Consultancy

In the complex world of construction and development, managing costs and ensuring financial viability are paramount. This is where the expertise of a Quantity Surveyor (QS) becomes indispensable. At Mehta Surveyor and Consultancy in Udaipur, Rajasthan, our Quantity Surveyors are the financial backbone of construction projects, ensuring that every rupee spent delivers maximum value, from initial concept to final completion.

What Does a Quantity Surveyor Do?

Often dubbed the “construction economist,” a Quantity Surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects. Their responsibilities span the entire project lifecycle:

• Cost Estimation & Planning: Providing accurate budget estimates at various stages, from initial feasibility studies to detailed pre-tender cost plans.
  
   
• Feasibility Studies: Assessing the financial viability of proposed projects, helping clients make informed investment decisions.
  
   
• Procurement Advice: Advising on the most suitable procurement routes (e.g., traditional, design & build) and contract types.
  
   
• Tender Documentation: Preparing detailed bills of quantities, specifications, and tender documents to solicit competitive bids from contractors.
  
   
• Contract Administration: Managing the financial aspects of contracts, including variations, claims, and payment assessments.
  
   
• Cost Control & Reporting: Monitoring project expenditures against budget, identifying potential overruns, and providing regular financial reports.
  
   
• Value Engineering: Identifying opportunities to achieve the required project functionality at the lowest possible cost without compromising quality.
  
   
• Risk Management: Identifying and assessing financial risks associated with the project and advising on mitigation strategies.
  
   
• Final Account Settlement: Negotiating and agreeing on the final project cost with contractors upon completion.
