Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of quantity surveying firms (QSFs) using the balanced scorecard (BSC) technique. Design/methodology/approach Based on a survey of 37 QSFs in Lagos State, Nigeria, the paper empirically assessed the performance of QSFs using the BSC technique. The targeted respondents were principal partners and quantity surveyor employees in the selected QSFs and relevant construction stakeholders, including clients, architects, builders and structural engineers, who usually have business relation with QSFs.

Abstract:

Background: Digitalization has profoundly impacted the construction sector, offering tools and technologies that promise increased efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. Nevertheless, the integration of these digital solutions, notably Building Information Modeling (BIM), can be impeded by a set of fundamental barriers known as enablers of digital poverty. These enablers encompass a range of challenges that quantity surveyors face in Lagos State when attempting to embrace BIM and other digital tools.

The discounting of professional fees has become a cause for concern among South African Quantity Surveying practitioners. These discounts are often 30% to 40% and, in some cases, substantially below the Tariff of Professional Fees published by the South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession (SACQSP). The firms which offer these excessively high discounts may be pricing their services well below their in-house operational costs which, with the quality of their professional services, eventually become unsustainable.

<strong>Abstract </strong>Since education is a complex process based on mutual interaction of many factors, examination failure is known to be based on different versatile reasons. This study examined the impact of mass failure in measurement courses on quantity surveying students. This study collected data through the use of structured questionnaire that were administered to staff and students in the department of quantity surveying in institutions offering quantity surveying as a course of study in Ondo state, Nigeria. Eighty-one (81) questionnaires were administered and sixty-eight (68) wer

Abstract Rapid urbanization and population growth have sparked an urgent need for sustainable urban development solutions. In response to it, smart sustainable city (SSC) has emerged to address the issues from urbanization. Despite numerous studies dedicated to SSC development, there is a dearth of research exploring the integration of quantity surveying practices in SSC development. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the drivers and challenges encountered by quantity surveyors (QS) in SSC development. A questionnaire was formulated and distributed to QS in the Klang Valley, resulti

Abstract:

A system of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) was introduced into the quantity surveying profession in South Africa during 1999. After the initial 5-year cycle that ended in 2005, it became clear that the system is not without problems and difficulties. This article investigates the CPD system of the quantity surveying and other professions in South Africa and elsewhere and sets out the perceptions of the participants to the system, specifically registered quantity surveyors. Possible changes and improvements that can be implemented to simplify the current system and make it user-frien

Abstract:

It recently became compulsory for all members of the South African Association of Consulting Engineers to introduce a quality management system in their organisations. The purpose of this paper was to determine whether it would be possible for quantity surveying firms to adopt similar quality management systems in their offices and what would be expected from them in order to do so. The conclusion is that it is possible for quantity surveying firms to comply with the requirements of the ISO 9001: 2000 quality principles.
