Common questions
Before you hire.
Can they act as an independent certifying quantity surveyor?
This page describes a dedicated staffing role supporting your business. It does not offer independent certification or assume a candidate holds a particular professional registration. Confirm any specific qualification or registration requirements before hiring.
Should we hire an estimator or a quantity surveyor?
Start with the workload. If it is mainly tender preparation, an estimator may fit. If it includes ongoing measurement, cost plans and post-contract reporting, discuss a quantity surveying brief. The person’s relevant experience matters more than the title alone.
What project experience should we ask for?
Specify residential, commercial, civil or trade-specific experience as needed, along with the project scale and type of cost reporting. Review comparable work and discuss the candidate’s contribution during the interview.
