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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

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.
