These can be termed as Assoc RICS, associates or building surveyors. While you don’t necessarily have to use a chartered surveyor for your survey, it’s highly advisable to use RICS approved experts.

Just like any other building surveyor, chartered surveyors work by visiting the property, assessing various areas while also determining any defects on site. Once done, they’ll then state all findings in a report for you to help you make the best possible informed decision, whether or not you’ll want to go ahead with the purchase or re-negotiate the terms of the purchase based on the findings in the report.

Most offers are made “subject to survey”, in order words, the seller is well aware that if the survey reveals something unexpected, you can decide to back of the agreement or request a reduction in price.

what does quantity surveying involve?

.Typically, quantity surveying involves the calculating and management of the costs relating to projects, starting with assisting with the initial estimates to finalizing the overall requirements of the budget. Quantity surveyors normally work in land management, property as well as construction industries. Generally, quantity surveyors are usually engaged at the start of a project, consulted and brought in to take a look at a planned construction’s feasibility or repair needs, they then subsequently supervise the remaining activities during the capital expenditure phases of the project development. In other words, they’re often involved on the site up until the completion of the construction project helping to monitor both the forecasted and actual expenses while also being required to quickly determine the best line of action to take to deal with problems  as well as changes in specifications with updated costings and feasibility reviews.

 

As a quantity surveyor, you’ll be required to perform a series of roles on a daily basis. This may involved having to work in an office in one day and the next, you’d probably find yourself on a construction site meeting with clients or consulting with a construction personnel. Each project is unique as there’s always a great deal of variety which can be not the most pleasant activity especially for someone who doesn’t like routine works. On a daily basis, quantity surveying normally involves preparing tender and contract documents, carrying out analysis, monitoring costs variation and preparing reports, determining the client’s requirements and taking on feasibility studies, distributing work to sub contractors as well as making the necessary payments.

While the construction is ongoing, they can help provide cost control services, carry out an assessment of the builder’s progress claims and also undertake an assessment of variation and delay claims. Finally, after the construction, they can assist with the determination of the final project cost, prepare the tax depreciation reports for both investors as well as property owners and also prepare Expert Witness reports to assist in the settlement of building disputes.
