Episode 58: Why you need a Quantity Surveyor on your next property investment project

In this week’s episode, we talk to Sello Masebi, a Quantity Surveyor and serial entrepreneur, about short term financing for real estate projects, quantity surveying and why everyone needs a quantity surveyor in any real estate project.

 

We learnt that quantity surveyors are the people who are in charge of financial management, quality control and time management in the real estate project.

 

This was one of the most eye-opening episodes for us and Sello answered some great questions for us:

🔴  Why is quantity surveying important to real estate investors? 

🔴 At what stage of a development does an investor involve a quantity surveyor and why is that important?

🔴 How should investors work with quantity surveyors, how often should they meet, what should they discuss and look over when they do meet? 

🔴 For a newbie developer, what would you advise that they should be paying attention to during a project? 

🔴  What costs should a property investor be wary of when starting a construction project? 

🔴 What are the professional fees charged by quantity surveyors? Are these fees determined by the market or by the size of the project their experience?

🔴 Are there any remedies that one can employ when they notice that a project is running over time and over budget? 

 

You’re really in for a treat and a lot of aha moments.
