Quantity Surveying in the Philippine construction industry serves as the backbone of build’s financial management and control, serving as the guide for its scope, measures, and monitoring. It is a profession that centers on the expert management of construction costs and contracts.
Quantity surveyors (QS) are pivotal in ensuring that projects are completed within budget and scope, providing value for money while meeting the required standards and quality.
Cost Estimation & Budget Preparation
From initial calculations to detailed cost planning and budgeting, QS professionals ensure that every peso is accounted for. Their expertise helps prevent budget overruns and aligns the project with financial expectations.
Contract & Cost Management
Quantity Surveyors play a critical role in preparing contract documents, including bills of quantities and other tender documentation. This ensures clear communication and understanding between contractors and clients, reducing conflicts and promoting smooth project execution.
Value Engineering for Cost-efficiency
QS experts analyze the materials, structures, and project design to propose better value alternatives without compromising on quality. This approach is particularly important in the Philippine construction sector where maximizing resources is key for cost management.
Risk Assessment & Management
By assessing potential risks and recommending mitigation strategies, quantity surveyors safeguard the project from unexpected financial pitfalls.
Project Monitoring and Reporting
They provide regular cost reports and progress updates, keeping all stakeholders informed and ensuring that the project stays on track financially.
Quantity Surveying is a key to construction success
The unique challenges posed by local construction practices and the geographical conditions of the Philippines make quantity surveying even more crucial and a vital part of strategic pre-construction planning including economic fluctuations, compliance to regulations, and a shift of focus to sustainability.
Quantity Surveyors are indispensable to the success of any construction and fit-out project. They stay on top of ensuring the economic viability of the build, without compromising its quality and efficiency.
