A quantity surveyor is a professional in the construction industry responsible for building costs. They prepare cost estimates, bills of quantities, evaluate tenders, and monitor costs throughout a project. A quantity surveyor's main roles include cost planning, procurement, measuring quantities of materials, and preparing payment applications for contractors and clients. They work closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers on a project. A quantity surveyor uses drawings and specifications to take off quantities and compile the bill of quantities using software like Revit.
For our first ICI (Introduction to Industry) and ITD (Introduction to Drawing), in a group of six, we were to carry out a research on quantity surveyors and give a presentation about what is their job about and what they do.
Construction Project Management is an important subject to learn in Civil Engineering.
Significance • As construction involves various activities starting from the design and planning to project completion and quality check, there is a exorbitant need for Management of construction. • Construction Industry plays a crucial role in the economy and development of a nation.
4. Objectives To complete the project in specified time and with allocated budget. To Plan and schedule the work and distribute between various departments. Deployment of personnel in Different tasks. To achieve High quality workmanship. Creating an organisation that works as a team. Using the limited available resources and producing maximum output. Providing safe and satisfactory working conditions for all personnel and workers.
5. Functions: Planning & Scheduling Organizing Staffing Directing Controlling & Co-ordinating
6. Stages of construction Briefing Designing Tendering Construction Commissioning
7. 1) Briefing Stage • This stage consists of framework required for the construction work to take a shape from the ideology of client and feasibility of Project which involves architects, engineers and project manager.
Objectives Developing Alternatives Feasible Solution ? Evaluation of Alternatives Report & Recommendation Technical and non technical Investigations
8. 2) Designing or planning Stage Prepare construction schedule Prepare final cost estimate Prepare Working Drawings and specificati ons Prepare scheme and detailed designs Soil investigations, Topographic investigation, material supply and market surveys etc Carry out Technical Investigations Final adoption of the most suitable summary Finalize Project Summary
For civil engineer quantity surveying and estimation costing is very important for any project.
In this presentation we study about the Important terms used in estimation and costing, contingencies, work charge establishment, tools and plants, etc. types of estimates and their functions.

Project Management Project 1 Report: Defining & Documenting A Project
Ft. Tamarind Square, Kuala Lumpur ,Malaysia (A project from Castmet Sdn. Bhd. and etc.)
The RIBA Plan of Work 2013 organises the process of briefing, designing, constructing, maintaining, operating and using building projects into eight Work Stages. The plan of work has always been about organising the design process.
What it not is a schedule of services document and it is not intended to be contractual.
However, it does set the scene for any given project
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

12. ● Architect will design the building.
● A QS will be cost adviser and monitor all financial
matters to architect.
● QS has experience on the type of work envisaged and
usually the architect will be able to recommend a
number of appropriate QSs to interview.
The
Relationship
between
Quantity
Surveyor and
Architect
13. The
Relationship
between
Quantity
Surveyor and
Engineers.
● Engineers design the
structures and foundations.
● They also supervise the work
on site on behalf of the client.
● After the designs are all
done, the QS calculate the
quantity of the materials to be
used and prepare tenders
and also supervise the
monthly submission for
payments.
Types of Engineer in
Construction Industry:
1. Civil Engineer
2. Electrical Engineer
3. Mechanical Engineer
14. The
Relationship
Between
Quantity
Surveyors
and
Contractors
Quantity
Surveyor
● Quantity Surveyors would be representing their
employer’s interest either the client or the
contractor.
● They always look after contractors’ commercial
and financial interests to make their employer in
the more controversial contractual areas
● Evaluate and monitor payment to contractors
at various points of construction
15. The
Relationship
between
Quantity
Surveyor
and the
Suppliers.
● As a part of a project, a contractor
must endeavour to procure a
supply chain in a timely manner.
● The QS plays a vital role in this
process because it requires a
commercially-aware person to
drive activities and ensure awards
are placed on time and within the
budget.
17. Typical Quantity Surveyor will be like:
● Basically, Quantity Surveyors
don’t draw. They READ
drawings instead.
● a Quantity Surveyor will study
drawings and specifications
about a new building normally
provided by architects or
engineers.

20. QSes use them for the estimation of
cost and materials.
21. Construction Drawings: ● Contract documents
that give
representation of
work
● To work on the actual
building of the design
● Provide all
information require in
construction activities
in writing & drawing
form
22. QSes use them as a basis for cost control during
the construction process.
23. Tender Drawings:
● A formal invitation to
suppliers to make an offer
to the buyer for the supply
of goods and services.
● Sufficient details are
described
● Use for estimating &
pricing the cost
24. Quantity surveyors check them to see that no substantial errors had
been made. They then submit the detailed reports on the tenders to the
client.
25.
26. ● A cross section drawing of a path
showing width & specification
detail for each construction layer
● Include general arrangement
drawings showing site location, the
position on the site, means of
access to the site, floor plan,
elevation and section.
Contract Drawings
Formal agreement between the buying
organisation and the supplier setting out what
services and products the supplier is contracted
to deliver and within the timeline and contract
price.

30. When a 3D model is complete with
specifications, the bill of Quantities is
able to be compiled instantaneously.
Bills of Quantity:
The bill of Quantity is a report ready by the expense
expert (frequently an quantity surveyor)
● gives particular measured amounts of the things of work
recognized by the tender drawings and particulars in the
delicate documents.
● The amounts is measured in number, length, zone,
volume, weight or time.
● Requires the specific design and specifications that has
been completely prepared.
31. Revit : BIM
● BIM(Building information model)
● Software used by QS to count and
calculate the material directly by using
example of design/build firm that uses an
API(application programming interface)
from Revit Autodesk.
● Time, expense, and sustainability are
crucial in today's construction industry.
