Abstract: A quantity surveyor is concerned with the costs and financial management of the building lifecycle. In this assignment, we will cover pre contract processes, the commercial management of construction and concepts on various procurement options; the production of tender documents; the contractor's tendering procedure and strategy and the detailed process undertaken to price tender documents. Generally, the quantity surveyor plays a key role in a construction project. The quantity surveyor mainly deals with budget, cost and value for money from inception stage to ≪MTCC5018≫ Page 2 of 8 ≪Individual case study≫ ≪MTCC5018≫ completion. Based on that, it is essential for the quantity surveyor to be fully aware about the roles and duties at each stage as cost is a critical factor in any project.

Background: MODES is responsible for total support to armed forces by providing all required services such as power, water, sewage treatment, construction, operation and maintenance buildings and infrastructure for all armed forces camps and locations in the country. In order to meet these requirements, MODES has a number of specialised directorates such as project directorate, maintenance directorates, logistic directorate, support directorate and others. The project directorate deals with construction project from inception stage to completion. It has different sections: design section, contract section, construction management, etc. Each section has ≪MTCC5018≫ Page 3 of 8 ≪Individual case study≫ ≪MTCC5018≫ roles and responsibilities which need to be implemented during the project lifecycle. In this module, we will primarily be focusing on the pre-contract phases.
