i keep people like Telekinetic honest.
i did a bachelor of Building in constuction management at university. but i've ventured into the commercial field in the construction industry. I am now the Managing Quantity Surveyor (QS) for my current company, overseeing my QS's tending to the commercial responsibilities on the life of the construction lifecycle.
QS's do a lot of different roles, and can cover different responsibilities depending on if you are working on a contractor side or client side.
i negotiate final settlements with subcontractors, oversee contract specs, write up scope of works for subcontractors contracts, report on monthly profits/losses, assess construction risks in construction documents, sign off payment certificates for subcontractors, negotiate prices with subcontractor packages.
Basically, if it has anything to do with money on a construction project, then im the go to person.
subcontractors hate us, because we reduce their profit margins, and our employers love us because we make them money.
