This is a question I used to ask my colleagues at various forums. “Yes” was the answer of the most. A few had no straight answer while nobody said “No”. But, by looking at this from the perspective of general public, most of the times I feel it is not....!
What the general public knows as Quantity Surveying is a set of activities (known as a preparation of BOQ and Estimate) that anybody with a little bit exposure to construction and O/L mathematics (or lesser) can perform. If that level of performance can be achieved without a rigorous training and with a good level of IQ, I wouldn’t call it a profession. Therefore in Sri Lanka, Quantity Surveying is not a profession yet.
Where is the problem? It is simply there with the clients’ knowledge. They don’t know the true value of Quantity Surveying. Why, because they are not been delivered with the true value of Quantity Surveying. So, it is time for us to think how to overcome this.: : It is time to wake up : :
