    Secret #1 is the base of all secrets if you know how to read drawings and understands the scope of work, you can easily make other secrets feasible. Very informative video

    Its been 3 consecutive days and been watching your quite informative videos non stop. I must say I feel like I have attained a degree in QS. I am a CM who decided to fly solo and I must say that learning from you will definitely have a huge impact on the small construction company that I am running. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing.

      Is SMM7 still used ? Totally useless document for today's major construction projects where the Contractors price is an actual cost (ie inclusive of items known as sub contractors dayworks). In a competitive single stage contract the contractor will deduct a % in his sub contract orders to pay for BOQ shortcomings. But in an actual cost Contract the items not covered by SMM7 are included in the Contractors price. Prelims is another problematic area as Quantity Surveyors don't understand them.

    Thanks for the general yet detailed explanation! I'm a newly licensed civil engineer, and I'm currently deciding between pursuing being a site engineer and being a quantity surveyor (I only have prior site experience from internship of vertical structures and also some off-site knowledge of construction methods).
    I'm so glad I found your channel! I plan to binge all relevant videos on your channel and also ask some of my former professors to help me decide which path would be better for me.
    I'm now more aware how daunting and challenging the position of a quantity surveyor can be, and I definitely plan to acquire the skillset required to become a competent one so I can have more opportunities in the future. Thanks again!

Contracts should also define the roles and responsibilities of performing parties to cover the concerns related to safety and well-being of construction work environment. These are actually very good future video ideas. I’ll compile some detailed information on these points. Thank you for the addition.
