When people think of Quantity Surveyors (QSs), they often picture major commercial developments, large infrastructure schemes or multi-million-pound construction projects. However, that’s not always the case; QSs are not only for large projects.

The construction industry often adopts a reactive approach to project risks. A problem occurs on the construction site, the project team scrambles to fix it, and the schedule inevitably slips.
