Quantity surveyors play a crucial role in the planning, procurement and financial management of projects and their responsibilities include estimating costs, preparing tender documents, evaluating bids and monitoring project finances. Quantity surveyors work closely with architects, engineers, contractors and clients to ensure that projects are completed within budgetary constraints.
