Why use a Quantity Surveyor and not a Valuer ?

An established Quantity Surveying company will have built up a database of knowledge and experience over the years on market trends, construction costs and estimates for builders and developers.

Valuers provide estimates for insurance reports based on the information in their valuation reports. The Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors have noted that these valuations are market valuations and are not the same as costs of construction and vary considerably from the actual costs of construction. A valuers report may not include all the facets that are included in the Quantity Surveyors Report.
