Cost is created by design choices, sequencing, productivity, procurement strategy, risk allocation, market conditions, logistics, rework, change and time. The advanced QS therefore has to understand how construction is actually produced—not only how it is measured. Zeeglobalvision Advanced QS Principle: A basic QS explains what the proj...
