Quantity surveyor: Traditionally one who was concerned with the measurement and valuation of construction work, but currently the practice of quantity surveying extends well beyond these basic activities.... Modern quantity surveying is concerned with the financial and economic aspects of construction. Its activities extend from the provision, for the prospective building owner, of reports on feasibility, through early stage estimates and cost-planning of the evolving design, into the preparation of bills of quantities, the obtaining and evaluation of tenders, the negotiation of contractual arrangements and the complete administration of the financial aspects of construction contracts. Within construction firms quantity surveyors provide the commercial counterparts to the above and sometimes undertake project planning and production management. 1, record 2, English, - quantity%20surveying

La profession de «quantity surveyor»(profession libérale) est une institution propre à la Grande-Bretagne. [...] Économiste et conseiller en matière de coût de la construction, le «quantity surveyor» remplit dans ce domaine un rôle de maître d’œuvre pour le compte du maître d’ouvrage. Chargé à l'origine de l'établissement de l'avant-métré d’un projet, au stade de la conception, ses attributions se sont considérablement étendues : il assume les responsabilités de la prévision des coûts, avant même que le projet ne soit entièrement terminé, de la préparation du «bill of quantities», du bon emploi des sommes engagées par évaluation de la valeur des travaux au fur et à mesure de leur exécution et par établissement du décompte final, en liaison étroite avec l'entreprise.
