Quantity Surveyor Review

My day to day duties tend to include measuring out drawings and building out cost estimates which can vary from stage 1 to a full stage 4 bill of quantities. I also do pre and post contract items like procurment routes, PQQ's, tender reports and analysis. I also attend meetings, update and send out cost reports to the client. Attend sites for monthly valuations, in which I create recomendation letters to the client and contractor.

I have learnt many skills in my time including how to measure efficiently by hand on on computer. I haven een able to better manage my time when working on multiple projects. In addition to that I have been able to progress my grammer and punctuation when it comes to drafting emails and producing reports. I have also gained better speach skills by gaining confidence in having to speak to new people and in general getting used to working with multiple people.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the programme so far, I have found some lectures hard to follow, and some days I need help in either having things demonstrated or having a walk through to better understand what needs to be done.

from the work side it is very organised, on the uni side it has been ok, but I have found it isnt as interactive as it could be. Plus there have been days where a lesson could be cancelled with no explanation. But more often than not the lecture involves too much litracy and not enough activity.

So long as I am vocal and upfront about issues they are always welcoming and willing to tailor to my needs.

it is available if there but feel as you are not rhere all the time there isnt as good of a conmection and not sure if it can be tailored to help me as many people can read and wrote fast but for me I struggle and feel like it might not be able to be tailored to fit my needs

They help guide me to have a better understanding behind the scenes and meaning begind certain actions in real life, but still feel hands on experience in the offoce is by far the easiest and fastest way to gain experience.

We hace a broad range from social events, multiple G&T sport teams where we compete against other firms, and we have next gen events where multiple firms meat to socialise, and create more relationships within the industry

Yes

The company provides one of the best social environments in the industry which really drive many people to create more relationships and work harder. As for most people they work best in a happy environment, they provide amazing support and lots of different CPD sessions to learn and broaden knowledge.

Don't be nervous or afraid to ask for help. They are there to give you the tools to become the best, all you need is determination. They are very open and great to work with and I think is a great place for a first job and for long term commitments
