So I fell into a Bank monitoring role after graduation, whilst it is good in the aspect of learning the construction processes, required documents (i.e. insurances / warranties), attending site visits etc, you generally take a step back and don't get involved in the technical aspects i.e. producing a bill of quants. Its a great career if you've doing QS'ing for many years and want a less hands on/demanding role, but in your early years I wouldn't suggest it.
I really enjoyed this video, its crazy this video comes after I had interviewed for a Property Risk position at a well known High Networth Bank, I however set terms that the Bank weren't able to meet But in interviewing I learnt about the need for QS's in the banking appraisal process and throughout the investment. So I really enjoyed your video

Because I really want to go into banking so I don’t know if doing my honours in Real Estate , is that a wise idea would you say ? Would you say I should start as a traditional QS just so that I get more experience on site before going into the banking space ?

Which countries is this role practiced?
Hey! South Africa! And a number of other countries, maybe you can check on Google for the exact countries
is that where you are thinking of heading, or are you sharing it for people to know
Sharing , a lot of people I’ve interacted with don’t know it’s an option , especially as early as after graduating
pls does it involve a lot of maths
