A quantity surveyor is a construction industry professional concerned with building cost. They prepare cost estimates and schedules for projects. Quantity surveyors work in sectors like commercial, residential, education, and healthcare. Their roles include keeping projects within budget, risk management, and analyzing total costs. They use tender documents like bills of quantities, drawings, and specifications during the bidding process.
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.

This seminar was part of the Bar Council practical construction law series presented by the Construction Law Committee to practitioners. It covers the topic of payments and common issues arising in the construction industry.
This is my first idea for a new application for the QA/QC team to use in part of making the inspections or reporting non conformance against the process or the installation on site and also can identify the damages happened on site by others or internally and recorded in this soft ware or share it to other parties.
I'm actually looking to share the same with a distributors and supponcers to assist me for sharing this application to everyone in the world.
