As I believe this is important for the workforce. As the construction industry  progress forward with technology there will still be a required market that requires job specific people to check for errors or have a special skill that will address measurement issues. Yes, the general skill will be overtaken by computers and apps. However, the difficult jobs that require people with experience that can pick up on things that technology can't will be the difference between good and average companies in the future.

This skill is taught from a basic level advancing to complex building designs of multi stories, and complex services’ arrangements including lift systems, electrical and water. Quantity Surveyors use these designs to create a ‘take-off’ of the required materials for the job. 

With the aid of advancing measurement technology, computer software provides great insight into the components that make up buildings and structures, however a Quantity Surveyor, with these previously taught skills, works in harmony with this software to speed up the process, reducing risks and errors in the take offs.

Measuring skills should be the most basic skills in this industry, it represents a person's ability  level and attitude.(Bowen)]]> 2020-03-22 23:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nkhiyon/jww2rzjjbf41/wish/470178464 I agree that Quantity Surveyors must acquire measurement skill. https://padlet.com/nkhiyon/jww2rzjjbf41/wish/470193302 A quantity surveyor is able to manage costs on a wide variety of new building projects and structures such as residential developments, sports stadiums, shopping complexes, roads and bridges, schools, hospitals, offices and factories. The QS provides cost advice for a project at inception, during construction and for any unplanned changes that occur. Therefore, as a Quantity Surveyors, mastering the measurement skills can better complete the project budget and ensure the smooth progress of the project. Good measurement skills can help Quantity surveyors manage the costs on a construction project more effectively, thereby helping to ensure that the construction project is completed within its projected budget .（Gillian)]]> 2020-03-22 23:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nkhiyon/jww2rzjjbf41/wish/470193302 I agree that Quantity Surveyors must acquire measurement skill. https://padlet.com/nkhiyon/jww2rzjjbf41/wish/470197141 2020-03-23 00:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nkhiyon/jww2rzjjbf41/wish/470197141 I agree that Quantity Surveyors must acquire measurement skill. https://padlet.com/nkhiyon/jww2rzjjbf41/wish/470198611 With the measurement skill, Quantity Surveyor can provide their recommendation about the cost and reduce the risk and mistakes that might happen.

Quantity Surveyor (QS) is a recognized construction cost manager and construction professional accountant. Quantity surveyors are experts in the financial and contractual aspects of construction projects. QS participates in all phases of the project and is usually appointed by the architect or engineer designing and constructing.
The reason are below why acquire measurement skill for the QS is necessary.
Good communications skill is necessary to express your opinions verbally as well as on paper. The ability to write clear and precise reports and to relate complex information simply to a diverse range of people are also done by the QS. Hence, the language skills are one of the skills required b a successful QS. The QS are advisable to master English. Majority of the contracts are written in English. The QS is unable to understand the contracts well due to poor language skills. Other languages such as local language in respective area are also advisable for a QS to smoothen QS’s work during communicating with the clients.

The QS is always involved in a construction team, which included architects, civil engineers, mechanical & electrical engineers, quantity surveyor and etc. Good negotiating skills are important, as is initiative to make decisions. The QS has to negotiate with a wide variety of people, which means that the QS would have to listen to the opinions of others as well as giving your own point of view. Therefore, the QS must works well in a team which may require the QS to motivate and lead people on site.

As a quantity surveyor, a logical and methodical person is needed in problem solving. With logical thinking, the QS uses reasoning consistently to come to a conclusion which is seem sensible. The attitude of the QS must be optimistic all the time once the project begins. The QS shows the willingness of doing jobs throughout the whole process. Passion and dedication should place in the heart of the QS in order to achieve high quality of works. Creative and innovative during solving the obstacles are crucial to the QS.

Therefore, as a qualified quantity surveyor, you need to acquire measurement skill. (Zhuoran Liang)

Surveying skills are indispensable for quantity surveyors.

It requires a systematic study process and the result is to make the communication between the parties more efficient. Therefore the measurement skill is important.

Measurement skill is the basic skill for Quantity Surveyor. Good measurement skills can better help quantity surveyors manage project cost and cost, ensure that project cost is within budget, increase project value and reduce project cost.
