Quantity Surveying Jobs

I am finalising a commercial project and already have a contractor-prepared BOQ for concrete, rebar, structural steel and a handful of minor items. Before I lock anything in, I need a fresh set of eyes to run an independent material takeoff, compare it against the existing BOQ, and flag any over- or under-quantified elements. There are no company-specific or industry-mandated standards you must follow; just apply recognised best practice and show your workings clearly. Accuracy and transparency are what matter most. Please deliver: • An Excel spreadsheet containing your own measurements, broken down by item and location • A variance column (or separate tab) that highlights differences from the contractor’s figures and brief notes explaining any significant gaps If you...

I need an experienced estimator to review my residential project, which is already under construction, and produce an accurate mid-stage cost estimate. You’ll receive on-site progress photos, and the contractor’s latest payment claims. From these, I expect a clear breakdown of material quantities, labour hours, and any provisional sums that still apply. While the focus is the mid-construction estimate, it should seamlessly align with standard BOQ structure so I can track variations through to project completion. If your workflow includes generating a supporting BBS or refining the existing one, that is a plus. Deliverables • A comprehensive construction cost report in Excel or similar, detailing quantities, unit rates, and total costs. • A concise commentary s...

I need a quantity surveyor for a commercial project focused on contract management. Key Requirements: - Oversee and manage contracts throughout the project lifecycle. - Ensure compliance with contractual obligations and mitigate risks. - Collaborate with stakeholders to facilitate contract negotiations. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proven experience in contract management within the commercial sector. - Strong understanding of construction contracts and legal frameworks. - Excellent communication and negotiation skills. - Proficiency in contract management software (experience with Procore is a plus).

I have a set of residential drawings ready and need a fresh pair of expert eyes to confirm every quantity and turn the results into a clear, contractor-ready Bill of Quantities. The job covers all lighting circuits, fixtures and controls plus the complete security system—cameras, sensors, panels, cabling and accessories. You’ll receive the CAD and PDF plans along with my initial take-off. Your role is to re-measure, catch anything I may have missed, highlight discrepancies, and present a clean, itemised BOQ that can be priced without further questions. AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Excel (or another spreadsheet you prefer) are the everyday tools here; feel free to introduce additional software if it speeds you up or improves accuracy. Deliverables • Annotated take-off sho...

I need a detailed quantity take-off and a well-structured Bill of Quantities for an upcoming commercial build. You’ll work from the drawings and specifications I provide, measuring every trade precisely and summarising the results in Excel. I’m comfortable with either my own template or a clear, professional layout you recommend, as long as it keeps items logically grouped and easy to trace back to the plans. Accuracy is paramount: every line item must reference the correct drawing, sheet, and spec section so I can cross-check quickly. Deliverables • Complete Excel file with separate sheets for measured quantities and the final BOQ • All cells fully calculated—no hidden links or protected formulas • Notes column flagging any assumptions or RFIs needed...

I have a full drawing set for a new commercial building and now need an accurate Quantity Take-Off and Bill of Quantities focused solely on the structural package—concrete, reinforcement, structural steel, formwork, embeds and any related accessories. I will send you my own Excel template; simply keep the column order, formulas and coding I already use for cost control, but feel free to add supportive sheets if they help trace the calculations. Scope • Measure every structural item shown on the architectural, structural and general-notes plans. • Reference each line to its drawing number, grid line and level so the audit trail is clear. • Populate the template with quantities, unit descriptions and remarks where coordination is required. Acceptance criteria &bull...

I need a precise quantity take-off focused only on concrete elements for an upcoming project. All drawings are provided as PDFs, so you will be working directly from those files. Your deliverable is an Excel-based Bill of Quantities that: • Lists every concrete item with customised, project-specific descriptions (not generic standards) • Shows clear units, calculated quantities and any assumptions in a separate notes column • Is organised by drawing reference so the numbers are easy for my estimating team to verify I will share the PDFs once you come on board; feel free to flag any scope questions before you start measuring. Accuracy and a clean, logical spreadsheet layout are the top priorities, and I’m ready to review as soon as you have a first draft.

I have a set of mechanical drawings for a commercial HVAC system and I need an accurate material take-off. The focus is on all ductwork—main trunks, branches, fittings, dampers, insulation sheets—as well as the scheduled equipment. Pipe runs are not required this time. I will supply PDF plans (and DWGs if you prefer) along with any specification sheets already issued by the engineer. From those, I need a clear, itemised spreadsheet that lists: • duct sizes and total linear lengths • quantities of elbows, transitions, dampers and other fittings • equipment counts with model references, capacities and tag numbers Please break totals down per floor and note anything that looks unclear on the plans so I can resolve it quickly with the design team. I typically...
