Confessions of a Construction Estimator & Quantity Surveyor Idea of a "wild night" involves calculating cubic meters of concrete on a spreadsheet until 2 a.m. 😅 But, someone's gotta make sure that the contractor doesn’t get stuck trying to build a 5-story building with the budget of a garden shed! As a quantity surveyor, every day is an adventure Let’s face it, even the most experienced QS has had that "wait, what's that measurement again?" moment. It’s fine. Totally normal. It's like being a detective, but instead of solving crimes, you're solving the mystery of how to get an entire office block built for 15% less than the first estimate. So, here’s to all the estimators and quantity surveyors out there. We're the unsung heroes who make sure that the skyscrapers go up, the roads get paved, and the clients don't get hit with a surprise bill for "miscellaneous extra costs" that somehow add up to 10% of the project. #ConstructionLife #EstimatorChronicles #QSAdventures #NeverASimpleDay #BudgetingWithStyle

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT QUANTITY SURVEYING Years ago, I had a conversation with a man and it went down like this: The man: How are you Blessing ME: I'm fine. The man: So what do you do? ME: I am a Quantity surveyor The Man: Oh, that's good. so how much can I build a 4 bedroom flat? ME: 😎 ,oh no Sir, it's not that simple. I will need more details. The man: But you are a QS, you should know this by head..... There are many misconceptions about this profession and I know some of us have experienced this. The man thought I carried budgets in my head and I was supposed to know the amount it costs to build a 4-bedroom in any given area Let's discuss this, have you experienced something like this, Drop your views and experience in the comment. #quantitysurveyors

Quantity surveying. It's not just a job, it's a lifestyle. Often, we're so engrossed in numbers, we forget the essence of our work. It's beyond buildings and structures. It's about creating legacies. Here's a radical thought. Stop counting bricks and start counting blessings. Every construction project is a testament to human ingenuity. Your work brings dreams to reality. You're not just calculating costs, you're building futures. Embrace a mindset shift. See yourself as a storyteller, not a number cruncher. Every project has a unique story. Your role? You're the author. Start your day by visualizing the impact of your work. Picture the families living in the homes you help build. The businesses thriving in the offices. The communities bonding in the parks. This approach won't just make your life better. It'll transform your career. It'll add a new dimension to your work. Don't just be a quantity surveyor. Be a legacy creator.
