hire quantity surveyors in africa

You hire a quantity surveyor when you need reliable estimates before you commit, tenders you can compare fairly, and tight control of payments and variations during the works. A good QS stops cost overruns early and defends your position on claims and final accounts.

What to check when screening

  • Ask for a bill of quantities or cost plan they prepared, with personal details removed.
  • Check whether they have worked for contractors, consultants or clients, since the focus differs.
  • Confirm their experience with the contract forms you use, such as FIDIC or NEC.
  • Look for RICS membership or progress towards it, or an equivalent local qualification.

Questions to ask in interview

  • How do you value a variation that has no rate in the bill of quantities?
  • Two tenders differ widely in price. How do you work out why?
  • Tell us about a claim you assessed. How did you reach your figure?
