This guy said the word ‘obviously’ 10,538 times in this video
She's cute 😍
Mate, thank you!
I was interested until you said you enjoy getting up at 4 or 5 am in the morning and getting home at 21;00hrs at night. Your life is ebbing away while it's all happening around you.
This was really insightful, I’m left a bit puzzled as I’m intending on taking a course for Property Studies as opposed to Construction Management which leads to Honours in Quantity Surveying. You mentioned that you left your QS role and took on a Project Management role, how do the two roles differ? If you’re also able to guide me, which course would you suggest one takes if they do intend on being a Property Developer?
Shit job, it will kill you at a very early age. nobody gives a rats ass about the PM role. A corrupt industry......
Quantity Surveyors should concentrate on Technical Auditing. At least auditing of around US $ 12 Trillion Government funded constructions as Check & Balance for Govt. expenditure. It is done by Financial Accountants only for more than 100 years. The loss in these audited constructions reached US $ 4 Trillion per year in 2008,according to Transparency Internationals. This is an affront to the profession, as Quantity Surveyors are expected to give value for money.
I have bachelor's degree in electrical engineering with one year of experience in estimating and costing what should be my career trajectory and if I change my career to MEP design which of the two would be better in terms of salary
She speaks very fast
A Quantity Surveyor, at professional level is an Accountant of a Construction project. So, it implies that a Quantity Surveyor should be able to give the maximum possible value for the money spend by their clients. Unfortunately, this is not achieved in the construction industry. The loss owing to frauds and mismanagement is estimated to be 10-30% of the project costs. Happening in all countries. It is an affront to the profession. Therefore, it is a requirement that all Quantity Surveyors and their unions should concentrate on Technical Auditing. Auditing is considered to be the “Check &Balance Mechanism “for Government expenditure. Carried out by Financial Accountants only and they maintain a firm grip and lot of financial vested interests. Govt. funded constructions were simple structures when auditing started a century ago and it was easy to audit. Govt. funded construction now, is huge, complex, done in several phases with complicated Contractual arrangements. Auditing such constructions is difficult even for highly experienced construction professionals. The loss owing to frauds and mismanagement in these audited (Financial) Govt. constructions is a world record. It was reported as US $ 4 Trillion per year by Transparency Internationals. Global Organistion of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) submitted a proposal in 2015 to have an additional Technical Audit with a functioning Technical Auditing mechanism to salvage this avoidable loss in public funds. This is a good opportunity for Quantity Surveyors to audit around US $ 12 Trillion Govt. funded constructions per year. There a is scope for other constructions as well as the loss is estimated to be 10 -30% of the project costs. There is a big opportunity (in excess of millions per year) for Quantity Surveyors to work as Technical Auditors.

Hello Sir
Wonderful words of inspiration: Thank u
Hi respectable, I,m farzana Yousaf and i need your help I,m currently working on my dissertation please can you help me in finding answer of some questions please please please help me
Wow this is brilliant!
could this job ever be done remotely? Or, could you have an assistant PM or project coordinator to support your role as PM?
heya! thx for the vid :) i've got a double in science + business management. thinking i shouldve done engineering - oops! any thoughts on a pathway for me to get to a mechanical construction estimator type role?
Can you please reply, I am in UK immigrant from India, I am really interested in QS 27 years old at the moment and saving to study QS. I have done business study have no experience in construction industry but have always interest in. I am a Restaurant manager at the moment. But want to do something more professional. Can you please help in guide what should be the first step to start. There is a degree to do straight masters as an Qs for a year do you think. Will it be a good enough to get a job or you says it will be waste of time?? Should I got to study bachelors first which I really Dont want to give 3 years and that much of money
Hi, I would speak to the university offering the masters course and pose the question to them as they will likely have had students in similar positions to yours. QS’ are generally in demand so my gut feeling is there will be junior jobs available from completing the masters course but it is always difficult to predict the future and what the job market will look like. I would definitely speak to the university as a first step. All the best with it.
thank u so much
What a Cock
