Construction Quantity Surveyor
What is A Quantity Surveyor?
A quantity surveyor is a qualified construction expert who calculates an estimate of construction costs for a construction project. This can include residential, commercial, or industrial buildings and infrastructure.
Their expertise also applies to tax, depreciation deductions, council approvals, and even bank lending for construction finance. They are also involved in preparing and managing construction contracts to ensure all parties meet their obligations.
To qualify as a quantity surveyor in Australia, an individual must have completed an accredited tertiary qualification.
Quantity surveyor courses, such as a Bachelor of Construction Management, are accredited by the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS), the professional standards body for quantity surveyors.
As of January 1, 2024, applicants for MAIQS (Member of AIQS) must complete a Professional Experience Diary, have three years of post-graduation experience, and pass an APC (Assessment of Professional Competence) interview. Additionally, they must demonstrate experience across eight competencies from two of the three Core Competency areas.
Boston is a port and market town in Lincolnshire, on the east coast of England, about 100 miles (160 km) north of London. It is the largest town of the wider Borough of Boston local government district. The town itself had a population of 35,124 at the 2001 census,[1] while the borough had a total population of 66,900, at the ONS mid-2015 estimates.[2] It is north of Greenwich on the Prime Meridian.
Boston's most notable landmark is St Botolph's Church ("The Stump"), the largest parish church in England,[3] visible for miles around from the flat lands of Lincolnshire. Residents of Boston are known as Bostonians. Emigrants from Boston named several other settlements around the world after the town, most notably Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States.
