摘要：Quantity surveying is an essential component in any construction development worldwide and offers services across various industries. In Malaysia, the quantity surveying (QS) profession is managed by the Board of Quantity Surveying Malaysia or BQSM. It is a statutory body established by an Act of Parliament, namely under the Quantity Surveying Act 1967. The QS profession is required from the inception stage of construction and is extended throughout the end of building life. The scope of work is different in every stage of construction project; typically to give advice on the aspects of financial and contract administration. However, people have always wondered about this QS profession and it is undeniably unpopular compared to architects and engineers. Until now, the QS’s roles and responsibilities are still unclear. Hence, this paper aims to present a critical review on the different QS’s functions in procurement, oil and gas, green building and banking sectors. Overall, this paper provides useful insights to potential students and individuals who would like to venture into QS world, as well as a guideline for QS novices in different job sectors to better understand their duties and responsibilities.
