Deputy Manager – QS

Review Drawings and Prepare Quantity Requirements:

Analyze detailed construction and design drawings to determine the quantity requirements for materials, labor, and resources.

Ensure all calculations are precise and align with project specifications and design intent during the planning stage, avoiding any discrepancies during the construction phase that could affect timelines or costs.

Scrutinize Maintenance and Material Costs:

Evaluate material and labor costs early in the design phase to establish accurate project estimates and optimize resource allocation for both planning and construction.

Review contracts and procurement strategies to ensure cost efficiency while maintaining compliance with design specifications, construction standards, and organizational requirements.

Collaborate with Designers, Site Managers, and Contractors:

Communicate regularly with architects, planners, engineers, site managers, contractors, and subcontractors to ensure that design elements are accurately translated into the construction process.

Ensure that all parties are aligned with cost management strategies, project timelines, and the overall design vision, facilitating smooth coordination from planning to execution.

Prepare Reports and Budgets:

Develop comprehensive reports, including budget estimates, cost analyses, and material take-offs, during both the planning and construction phases.

Ensure that all documentation is thorough, accurate, and supports informed decision-making, from early design adjustments to final construction cost controls.

Advise on Cost-Effective Design and Construction Solutions:

Provide data-driven recommendations to both design and construction teams on potential cost-saving measures and alternative strategies.

Use insights gathered from both planning and on-site construction to help managers develop cost-efficient, sustainable, and effective project plans, optimizing long-term project performance.

Document Changes and Update Budgets:

Record and track any changes in project design and construction specifications meticulously, updating budgets and quantity requirements as needed.

Ensure that all modifications are documented accurately and communicated to relevant stakeholders, maintaining transparency and ensuring seamless adjustments during the transition from planning to construction.
