Career and Remuneration
The typical salary of a quantity surveyor depends largely on the level of experience of the individual and the sector or region they are working in. A 2010 survey of the construction and built environment industry showed that the average annual salary for a quantity surveyor in the UK is £38,121. The average salary varies depending on experience, those with between 3 and 6 years’ experience earn on average £25,791, whereas those with 20 or more years, £43,514.00.
There are many quantity surveyors who run their own business. In recent years, many quantity surveying companies have become more recognized because they are a critical link between trade contractors, construction companies, builders and financiers. They monitor the costs and evaluate the progress of building projects for their clients in the financing and construction industries. Therefore, the salary of self-employed quantity surveyors will vary depending on the scope and location of the projects and their hourly rate.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
