QSFemi: Well, both QS and engineer can perform the same duty but in different ways, When i graduated from university, i worked in MEP contracting company in which i was attached to senior Electrical Engineer doing bill of engineering measurement and evaluation. I was under him for 5-weeks before he left the company then i took over the boq preparation. It was a huge task for me and i was able to handle all bills and also generate boq from the Electrical design drawing. Though, we have a QS but according to him he said they only trained them on civil works aspect of bill preparation. What he does is Valuation on all the on-going projects, attend site meetings with engineers to know when the company is due for valuation, prepare LPO for vendors, negotiate with suppliers, etc. Most QS are good in civil aspect of bill preparation except few of them that are trying to do MEP boq. Anytime a tender is being sent to us then and the MEP boq were prepared by QS, we always have alot of variations and additional works on that project if awarded to us then. These days most of the MEP BOQ is always prepared by MEP consultants with the detail materials. I have prepared alot of detailed MEP boq for Nairalanders. at times there would be no design but with the experience i have. 4 Likes |

chidi4eze: Cost will depend on the measurement or are you asking for the labour charges? |

You've spoken fairly and from experience. The fact that you've met few QS that couldn't effectively handle MEP bills doesn't mean that there are not QS that can effectively prepare such. I've met so many civil engineers that cannot prepare structural drawings. In today's QS practice, there are many QS that specialized in only MEP bills. For instance, many QS are working with Mor and Mor - a purely electrical services installation companies. At Console Associates - a foremost QS firm, they've more than 100 QS that specialized on various aspects of engineering costing. topsy23: 4 Likes |

QSFemi: QS Femi, don't get me wrong. There are some that are specialise in MEP boq. But these days MEP consultant does most of the bill immediately after their design I know Mar&mor very well. We have other big contractions firm also, Kenol, Mabbsa (now Mabstar), Dayson, Etco, Lambert etc and the consultants KOA, CA consultant, OJ&T consultant, MEE consultant, Molecular consultant Presently I have a two QS that are undergoing training under me 3 Likes |

topsy23: I agree with bolded part. The only reason we have “Provisional Sum” in most BOQs is simply because there’s limit to what a QS can cover especially when there are no detailed drawings or specification document. The bill for the MEP in one of my first projects here was handled by the MEP consultants. The client engaged them for supervision, cost and quality control. 1 Like |
