Surveyor FAQs

what is a chartered surveyor

Basically, a chartered surveyor is a building surveyor who inspects a property for faults or defects as well as future issues or problems. They’re also able to work out the value of a property and also prepare a report in order to help you determine whether or not the property is a good investment or if there are any issues that may create problems later in the future such as damp, structural issues and the likes. In order to become chartered surveyor, a surveyor will need to undergo additional qualifications and possess a specific level of experience which is RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) approved. It’s possible that some surveyors may not have pass through these additional levels to become chartered, however it’ll still be regulated by RICS and be fully qualified. 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. 

You’ll need to hire the services of a chartered surveyor after you’ve made an initial offer on the property and it has been accepted. 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 qualifications should a quantity surveyor have?

If you wish to work as a quantity surveyor or perhaps you’re just looking to hire one, then one of the first things that comes to mind is the qualifications to look out for. To work as a quantity surveyor, you’ll normally require a degree in quantity surveying or commercial management which is accredited by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). However, in the event whereby your degree as an undergraduate happens to be in a different subject, there’s still a chance for you to become a qualified quantity surveyor. To achieve this, all you need do is to take a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors accredited post graduate conversion course. Degrees that this applies to includes the following: Economics, building or construction, geography, civil or structural engineering, mathematics, project management ( construction) as well as urban and land studies.

 

Typically, the post graduate course will take about a year to complete ( on a full time basis), whereas it takes about 2 years on a part time basis. What’s more? There are some employers that will recruit some graduates as “non-cognates ( meaning those with a non RICS accredited degrees ) and support them financially through the accredited post graduate course. Furthermore, you can as well take a RICS accredited degree apprenticeship whether undergraduate, PGDip or Masters, in quantity surveying as well as project management that combines work with part time study at a university.

 

However, if you’re without a degree, there’s still an option. Simply start work as a technical surveyor ( also referred to as surveying technician ) and then apply for a part time study while working to qualify as a quantity surveyor.

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. Apart from all the aforementioned, site visits also represents a big part of quantity surveying as you’re required to make assessments on the financial projections for the future activities.

The extensive knowledge they possess about the costs related to construction allows them to undertake a number of meaningful tasks to assist you with your project.

 

Before the construction work commences, quantity surveyors can help with the following:

  • They can help provide cost control services
  • Carry out an assessment of the builder’s progress claims
  • Carry out an assessment of variation and delay claims.

  • Determination of the final project cost
  • Preparation the tax depreciation reports for both investors as well as property owners and;
  • Preparation Expert Witness reports to assist in the settlement of building disputes.

Quantity surveyors are able to offer their services to both residential clients and small business owners, asides from working with local authorities, commercial businesses, consultancies as well as property developers.
