         maintenance of building and infrastructure  such  as  sports  stadiums,  tunnels, 
         bridges, universities, residential buildings hospitals and roads. They are usually 
         involved from the feasibility stage through to completion of a construction project. 
         Quantity Surveyors can also undertake tax depreciation, insurance estimation, 
         mediation and arbitration.

         consulting firms or construction companies, or in the public sector with the State/ 
         Territory Government Departments/Authorities. Once project construction begins, 
         Quantity Surveyors are regularly on site to monitor variations in construction and 
         their impacts on costs.
