Quantity Surveying has a lot in common with Accounting, - lots of paperwork and you have to be good with numbers, calculations and estimating. Accuracy is critical because you are dealing with cost, expenditure and finances.
Thanks for promoting our profession!
I am working as Quantum Analyst at the moment.
All the best
Thank you for sharing Nothando. What I like about QS is that, one is constantly learning on Construction site, its never a dull moment. ✨🤞🏾🙂
I love it and yes you're right !
Thank you for sharing Nothando! I agree with you I enjoy the interaction with subcontractors (especially the part where I negotiate for better rates or discounts 🙈😅) and the whole procurement process, I enjoy tendering too and ensuring the legal side of things are good, I enjoy doing the fee calculations, PROCSAs - the whole thing. 😂 There is actually very little that I don’t enjoy about our profession. I consider myself blessed. 🙏🏾
Discounts!!! Yes I live for those! 😂❤️
You are indeed blessed! It takes a good company, a good manager and just a good combination of work to get where you are so you're extremely lucky!
Please advise on how to become an subcontractor, in your network.thanks
Our profession is very versatile. I have worked in a consultant firm and also in a construction firm, I have taken up roles like Project Cordinator, Project Manager, Procurement Manager and so on. It's always exciting just that the pay is not very encouraging especially when u are just starting out. Have u heard about Lean Construction? It's something I am very interested in these days, I see it as the solution to many problems that customers (client, contractors and stakeholders) face in the construction industry.
Hello nothando,Which one do you think is more interesting and have more job opportunities between QS and CM ...and in your view which role between CM AND QS would you advice someone to take
OMG🧨🧨 You are a same kind of girl like me. Also love love being a Quantity Surveyor in the same reasons.

Since you're saying qs is broad, you can work as a quantity surveyor literally anywhere? Not necessarily at the building industry? Like for instance, you can be a qs at a bank, or home affairs etc?
Yes you can ! Mining , Engineering, Consulting, I’m not sure about home affairs, it needs to be Construction related
Sis I know this might be an everyday question but allow me to ask. How are there job opportunities in the market, is it still safe for students to pursue careers like QS
Hey , it's just like any career , nothing Is guaranteed especially with the high unemployment rate in SA. So I'd always advice students to pursue more digital/ software careers. Since everything is online now.
What would your level of mathematics need to be as a quantity surveyor?
From 50% ( I forgot how levels work 😅)
You put so much effort into your videos, and it really shows. If you're looking for some help with promotion, this company can definitely help you reach your goals.
do you like the money?
It takes a while to build....but I think I can finally say I do , for now 😅. You also realise it's not everything if you're in a toxic environment...so I try not to make it my only goal... You can't put a price on your sanity
@@NothandoMoloi I agree with you on this one Nothando no price is worthy your sanity
Jesus Christ loves you and wants a personal relationship with you ✝️🥹🫶🏾
