Becoming a World-Class Quantity Surveyor: Where Are You on Your Path?

Sunday, October 27, 2024

Imagine your career as a journey with different milestones along the way. If you work hard, use the right strategies, and stay committed, you can reach amazing heights in your career as a Quantity Surveyor.

But it’s important to understand that success doesn’t happen overnight. Just like you can’t speed up the process of having a baby in less than nine months, some things in life take time. And that’s okay!

In today’s world, everything seems fast and easy. With just one click, you can watch a movie on Netflix or order something online from Amazon. But building a successful career takes time and effort. The good news is, with the right information and strategies, you can advance in your career faster than you might think.

Let’s take a look at four different career pathways for Quantity Surveyors. These are my friends in the industry who I am looking to bring into my platform to give us some more details on how they go there.

​These pathways will help you measure where you are now and where you could be in the future. They will also give you a realistic idea of how long it might take to reach certain positions.

Person 1 Pathway

  • Year 1: Graduate Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 2: Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 4: Senior Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 5: Associate Director
  • Year 8: Project Director
  • Year 9: Commercial Director

Person 2 Pathway

  • Year 1: Assistant Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 2: Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 6: Senior Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 8: Commercial Manager
  • Year 11: Senior Commercial Manager

Person 3 Pathway

  • Year 1: Assistant Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 3: Project Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 5: Senior Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 6: Commercial Manager
  • Year 8: Commercial Director

Person 4 Pathway

  • Year 1: Graduate Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 3: Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 4: Senior Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 7: Managing Quantity Surveyor
  • Year 8: Commercial Manager
  • Year 13: Senior Commercial Manager

How to Use These Pathways

  • Measure Your Progress: Compare where you are now to these pathways. Are you on track? Do you want to speed up or slow down your development?
  • Plan Your Future: Understand how long it takes to reach certain positions. This will help you set realistic goals and stay motivated on your journey.

Remember, everyone’s journey is different, and it’s okay to move at your own pace. What’s important is that you keep moving forward and stay committed to your growth. With the right strategies and hard work, you can achieve your goals and become a world-class Quantity Surveyor.

Stay inspired, keep learning, and never stop growing into your potential.

The Two Quantity Surveyors: Change vs Stagnation

There is a lot of change coming to the Quantity Surveying world. AI and software are coming fast. In the near future software will take over 70% of the work that Quantity Surveyors are doing right now. That is very scary. My aim is to make you aware of which Quantity Surveyor you are so you can be proactive and start making plans to adapt. The question is..who would you rather be? And will you adapt? In a big city known for its ever-evolving skyline, two quantity surveyors, Tom and Sarah, began their careers at the same construction firm. Both were bright, hardworking, and eager to make their mark in the industry.

Scale Your Quantity Surveying Career Fast in 2024

In the fast-paced world of construction, staying ahead means more than just learning new techniques or tools; it involves updating our mindset and beliefs. Just like an old building that no longer serves its purpose, outdated beliefs can stop us from moving forward and keep us stuck in old ways of thinking. To grow in the construction industry, we must get rid of these old beliefs and build new ones that match the ever-changing world.
