Yes there are, synthetic wood, lami, vinyl ect ... wood warp is another Having wood flooring does have it's benefit (to me) ... every few year a lil project ... sand and polish, stain, repaint ... those kind of diy. |

QUOTE(kennethkee93 @ Oct 8 2015, 05:42 PM) I'm a final year Degree QS student, so I'll answer based on what I know and experienced. 1) you have to see what type of contract first. If dosmetic which lump all services under one big contract (no nsc) then i only need to prepare technical schedule and bq and give to qs to compile. If nsc contract, the engineer need to prepare the full contract and qs just administrate the main con contract. More often, mark my word lazy qs just ask us engineer to do everything and pass it to them. The most they do is from my exp is check spelling mistake, page number and just read through for any contract term n condition like defext liability period or non compliance etc etc1. Think of QS as the construction cost manager & advisor, we measure, calculate, manage and prepare paperwork on a project. Depending on which firms you working at, if it's consultant firm, you're required to handle the project costing and budgeting for the client from pre-tender to post-contract (end of a project) and finally prepare a final account for the whole project. If you work in contracting firms, it might be the same job scope, and measuring the exact quantity is critical for contractors as every cent counts and all they care is the profit margin. 2. Usually, yes, unless you can hire few QS-assistant under you. 3. From hearsay, and the reason I'd studied QS is because of the high demand for QS in the construction industry right now. But mind that the output of local QS graduates from universities and colleges are large in numbers too currently, which might inturn saturate the industry soon. However, I don't think you'll need to worry about getting unemployed as long you don't look at the income figures. Just my 2cent. If what I wrote reflects inaccuracy or error, please do correct me. 2) consultating qs is the qs that monitor the projext overall cost. Only M&E engineer can evaluate the progress and claim for their m&e items. Industry norm qs normally for architectural and structural works. 3) word of advise.. when come in industry. First thing not to do is bad mouth the engineer. Because we also can play you out. One way is to give low cost estimate and you have to ownself call supplier to verify. U can blame us to the client but we can always answer back that you are hired to do cost control while we engineer for technical knowledge. |

What you stated do make sense of course, but QS badmouth the Ar. rather than Ir. based on what I'd experience in the past. 2) consultating qs is the qs that monitor the projext overall cost.

Sorry bro.. it does not work that way more often.Ar because qs easier to evealuate. For example aluminium grill. Simple If mechanical.. unless u have technical knowledge like air cond system. Qs very hard to evaluate. That why m&e is own qs and submit the claim to them for processing |
