The tasks of Quantity Surveyor (QS) will vary significantly according to the client and the nature of the construction project. Typically, the role of QS is defined as an estimator of overall Project Control function, which results in the QS function overlapping with estimators, cost engineers and contract management (Procurement). The below is a list of, but not limited to, roles and responsibilities of a QS.

General
▪ Work closely with the client and other construction professionals, such as site managers, project managers and site engineers. Develop reports with detailed back up to convey project cost status, risks and any commercial issues.
▪ Provide a weekly and monthly summary of activities completed and forecasted, a summary of major findings or activities (if any), and risks to schedule.

Estimator
▪ Provide cost estimates throughout the entire project cycle, applying appropriate detail levels and Work Breakdown Structures (WBS). In some cases, measuring and valuing the work done on site may be necessary.
▪ Work closely with commercial managers on the preparation of tender documents, contracts, budgets, bills of quantities and other documentation, followed by the analysis and agreement on the contract sum. It would also mean that the estimator would require negotiating cost to ensure the prices are fair and reasonable in accordance with the market rate and in alignment with the project budget.
▪ Working closely with cost engineers to identify opportunities for cost reduction.
▪ During the execution phase, lead or assist commercial managers on assessing the additional costs of design changes and construction work including variations.
▪ Work closely with commercial managers and cost engineers to measure, and pinpoint project risk.

Cost Engineer
▪ Cost engineer to price/ forecast the cost of a project through the entire project life cycle, from inception to post-completion. This includes forecast of capital and expense budget, along with asset capitalization.
▪ Cashflow project is often necessary to set the annual plan and track on a monthly and quarterly basis to communicate the variations between plan versus actual. Cost Engineers need to work closely with project schedulers, commercial managers, and the finance team.
▪ Monitor or analyze invoices to ensure the amount is in accordance with contract terms and conditions. This will require closely working with Project Managers, Construction Managers and Commercial Managers.
▪ During the execution phase, work closely with the project control department on assessing the additional costs of design changes and construction work including variations.
▪ Advise the project team on the current forecast against budget to understand the risks and opportunities of the project.
▪ Preparation of the final account to close all the activities and accounts in accordance with contractual obligations.

Commercial Management and Contract Administration
▪ Commercial Management throughout the entire life cycle of the project from award to post-completion. During the programming phase, advise and assist during the formulation of the pre-programming phase to formulate tendering procedures. Lead in sourcing of suppliers to drive for competitive bidding, based upon knowledge of local market. Collaborate with a client to develop an implementation plan, including the timing, resources, and program management necessary to achieve the identified savings per assigned work/ project.
▪ Produce or assist on Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) documentation in line with client’s policies. Prepare tender documents, contract conditions and contractual correspondence, pricing documents (e.g., Bills of Quantities) in tender and other documentation with the estimator/ QS. Including sourcing or agreeing to the services of contractors and/or subcontractors who work on the construction of the project. This also includes identifying long lead items/ materials and/or sourcing accordingly to mitigate any project schedule impact.
▪ In conjunction with the estimator negotiating cost, a commercial manager would require negotiating on contract terms and conditions accordance to the nature of project. Finally, make recommendation, analysis and comparison of all packages and final recommendation, including "best and final" process.
▪ During the execution phase, assist in dispute resolution and engage on commercial issues before they become claims. Commercial managers or administers may function as general administrative duty, i.e., purchase order (PO), invoicing, change orders, etc.
