This document provides an introduction to quantity surveying drawings for a project. It defines a quantity surveyor as an expert in costing a building at all stages. Their roles include estimating costs, preparing tenders, and contract management. Key quantity surveying drawings include bills of quantities, which describe the work and provide a basis for cost analysis. Bills of quantities go through stages of taking off quantities, squaring up, abstracting, and billing. They contain various sections like preliminaries, preambles, and measured works. Examples of drawings like a pitched roof detail and internal finishes schedule are also provided.
