Quantity Surveyor (QS)

We are seeking a skilled Quantity Surveyor with the ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings to accurately calculate material quantities, prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQs), and develop detailed cost estimates. The ideal candidate should be proficient in extracting quantities from both 2D and 3D CAD drawings and work closely with project and sales teams to ensure precise material take-offs and project costing.

Key Responsibilities

- Review and interpret architectural, structural, interior, and MEP drawings to extract relevant information.
- Accurately measure dimensions and calculate material quantities from 2D CAD drawings and 3D models.
- Prepare detailed BOQs, quantity take-offs, and material schedules for various construction elements.
- Calculate quantities for flooring, wall cladding, ceilings, partitions, joinery, laminates, panels, and other interior and exterior finishing materials.
- Utilize AutoCAD and relevant 3D drawing or quantity take-off software to measure areas, lengths, volumes, and material requirements.
- Develop cost estimates, rate analyses, and material cost breakdowns to support project budgeting.
- Identify wastage allowances and optimize material quantities to reduce unnecessary expenses.
- Cross-check quantities against drawings, specifications, and site measurements to ensure accuracy.
- Detect discrepancies, missing dimensions, and variations in drawings, coordinating with relevant teams for clarification.
- Revise BOQs and estimates in response to drawing revisions and project changes.
- Collaborate with sales, procurement, project management, and technical teams regarding material specifications, quantities, and costing.
- Maintain organized records of drawings, calculations, BOQs, and project estimates for future reference.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Architecture, or a related discipline.
- 2 to 4 years of relevant experience in quantity surveying, estimation, or material take-offs.
- Strong proficiency in AutoCAD 2D and the ability to interpret architectural drawings accurately.
- Experience with extracting quantities from 3D CAD models or BIM software is preferred.
- Working knowledge of MS Excel for preparing BOQs, performing calculations, and cost estimation.
- Solid understanding of construction materials, finishing specifications, measurement methods, and units.
- High attention to detail, numerical accuracy, and strong analytical skills.
- Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and manage multiple project estimates simultaneously.

Preferred Software Knowledge

- AutoCAD 2D/3D
- Revit or BIM quantity take-off tools
- SketchUp or other relevant 3D modeling software
- MS Excel

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

- Accuracy of quantity take-offs and BOQs.
- Timely submission of estimates and material schedules.
- Precision in cost calculations and wastage allowances.
- Ability to identify drawing discrepancies before project execution.
- Proper documentation and timely revision of project quantities.

The position offers a monthly salary ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 70,000. The role requires working on-site to ensure close coordination with project teams and accurate data collection.
