Quantity Surveyor Duties and Responsibilities
1. Cost Estimation (Quantities Measurement and Variations)
Prepare preliminary cost estimates feasibility studies and cost plans based on conceptual and detailed designs for Infrastructure and Energy.
Prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQ) technical specification schedules of work and cost breakdowns in accordance with standard methods of measurement.
Perform quantity take-offs from drawings specifications CAD or BIM models using manual and software-based methods.
Conduct value engineering and value analysis to achieve optimum cost without compromising quality and safety.
Conduct price forecasting and inflation adjustments for longterm projects and update cost estimates as designs change.
Analyze and checking arithmetical accuracy compliance and reasonableness of quantities and rates.
2. Contractual Commercial and Professional Responsibilities
Ensure compliance with contract conditions (e.g. FIDIC DPWH NEC) and applicable laws and regulations.
Provide advice on cost risks and commercial strategies.
Uphold ethical standards accuracy and transparency in cost reporting and certification.
3. Specialized Roles (Infrastructure / Government Projects)
Prepare Detailed Unit Price Analyses (DUPA) and detailed estimates for roads bridges ports and utilities.
Assist in O&M cost estimation and life-cycle costing for infrastructure assets.
Ensure compliance with government procurement rules and reporting standards.
4. Software and Tools
Use quantity surveying software (e.g. CostX Planswift or similar) for BOQ preparation quantity checking and cost control.
Utilize spreadsheet software (e.g. MS Excel) for cost analysis rate sheets cost control sheets and reporting.
Work with AutoCAD and PDF viewers to read and measure from civil engineering drawings crosssections and alignment plans for roads and highways.
With knowledge on MS Project or Primavera in construction planning is an advantage.
5. Others
Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in quantity surveying Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
- Professional license or certification (e.g. Registered Engineer or equivalent) is an advantage.
- Formal training in cost estimation contract administration or project controls.
- Minimum relevant industry experience in infrastructure or building projects (minimum 5 yrs working experience as QS).
- Strong knowledge of construction methods materials and cost estimates for civil structural architectural and MEPS works.
- Proficiency in cost estimating BOQ preparation and financial reporting tools (e.g. Excel QS software like AUTOCAD Measure Cost X Planswift etc.).
- Working knowledge of standard forms of construction contracts and variation/claims management.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings specifications and technical reports accurately.
- Strong analytical communication and coordination skills for working with design teams contractors and stakeholder
- Knowledge in Construction Scheduling is an advantage.
