1. Prepare detailed cost estimates for construction projects by analyzing project plans, specifications, and other relevant documents. This involves calculating quantities of materials, labor costs, equipment expenses, and any other relevant factors. 

2. Develop and maintain cost plans throughout the various stages of the project. This includes monitoring and updating cost projections, conducting feasibility studies, and providing advice on cost-effective solutions. 

3. Prepare and evaluate tender documents, including bills of quantities, specifications, and contract conditions. Collaborate with suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors to obtain competitive bids and negotiate contracts. 

4. Identify opportunities to optimize project costs without compromising quality. Recommend alternative materials, construction methods, or design changes to achieve cost savings or improve efficiency. 

5. Identify and assess project risks related to costs, contracts, and procurement. Develop strategies to manage and mitigate these risks, ensuring that projects are delivered within the allocated budget. 

6. Conduct detailed measurements and takeoffs from architectural and engineering drawings to determine quantities of materials required for construction. Prepare and validate bills of quantities for tendering and cost estimation purposes. 

7. Work closely with project managers, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure effective communication and coordination. Provide regular updates on cost-related matters, participate in project meetings, and collaborate to resolve any issues that arise. 

8. Stay updated with industry standards, regulations, and best practices related to cost management and quantity surveying. Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, codes, and contractual obligations. 

1. Must possess a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering/mechanical engineering/electrical engineering/architecture. 

2. Must have at least 3-5 years of relevant experience in QS
