In Episode 200 of Own the Build, Christopher Barber reflects on a pivotal piece of advice he received early in his QS career from a Main Contractor QS.
🗣 “I’d rather know something about every package than everything about one.”
This simple yet profound advice helped Chris understand the value of being a jack-of-all-trades as a Quantity Surveyor, gaining a broad understanding of how an entire building comes together, while mastering the art of negotiation across multiple packages.
🔑 As a QS, having depth in one area is valuable, but versatility across the board?
