Often, people tend not to notice the role of a quantity surveyor in a construction project. The engineers and the architects are all lauded whereas the quantity surveyor is often overlooked. A quantity surveyor is a construction professional that is concerned with the cost control of a construction project. They work closely with contractors to help minimize costs while maintaining acceptable standards in building construction. We can say that they are the economists of building construction.

A quantity surveyor is the one that works out the feasibility of a project site. He wholistically looks at the factors on the site and advises on what could be within range for that site. They have a profound knowledge of the cost of building materials and suitable alternatives. Just give a quantity surveyor your budget and he would work around it to ensure that the budget is not exceeded. Hire a quantity surveyor for your next project.
