Binge Watching your episodes now. You're underrated honestly. Your content is around MKBHD level.
I'm in high school rn, G8 and im looking for careers to study and What subjects I must take to become a quantity surveyor. Glad I came across your video, hope you're doing well.
You go sis! Thanks for this, it’s very informative .
Miranda Sifunda thanks girl! All the best 💕💕 lol
I didn't know about this course until I got rejected at DUT for Architecture. I'm an undergrad at Mangosuthu University of Technology and I loooove Q.S. 😍😍😍
Am happy to watch your channel because am one.
wow...........you make me love the course more..............thank you very much for the useful info
Achilonu Christian victor I’m so glad !! Pleasure and keep well 💕
Thanks for the info...i now know which subjects to choose this year
Mongezi Jalubane I’m so glad ! All the best!
@@NothandoMoloi thanks to you
thank you for this i will be studying QS in the coming weeks
Sonile Jere thank you and all the best!! 💕
God jobs
I am from Korea and i always watched your video
I will enroll university for Quantity survey
wow,you are the motivation that flourishes my mindset in QS more,So as SITE QS's are always on Site?
In a site office most of the time and every once in a while we head to the head quarters !
@@NothandoMoloi So that means you are always outdoors which makes your work more interesting?
Ntukile Vlogs not at all , I’m outdoors 30% of the time , most of my work happens in an office !
@@NothandoMoloi So since I enjoy being outdoors,would you advice me to do Construction Management or Quantity Surveying?
Depends on what you actually like doing , Construction Management focuses on the production side of things , so you’ll actually be monitoring the construction side of things! Setting out, checking levels etc
Thanks for the video! What are your thoughts on BIM, and as it advances - how do you think it will affect the QS role if one day, a push of a butron can get the quantities? Do you think a QS can risk becoming obsolete?
Im planning to retrain as QS and would be interested to hear your thoughts!
Hi Mandy , did you get a response to this ? Someone else had asked in the comments section of another video
@@NothandoMoloi Hey, I saw your reply in your other video to a similar question. Thanks!
Do you have any aspirations to work internationally? QS seems to be an occupation that is highly mobile. Would you agree? I hope so! But no worries, I wont get upset or disheartened of you think otherwise but would love to hear your thoughts?
Definitely would love to get some international experience!
Can I study quantity surveying even though I didn't do some of the required subjects in high school e.g. physical science and accounting?
Hello i am studying Qs ....how do i get in touch with you ....i would appretiate it if guide me through out the course
Hey I’m currently studying Btech in Civil engineering can I do QS in my honours ?
Can you please do a video on what laptops to buy for a qs student
Wow it's exactly the same question when i was student. Maybe u can choose laptop with spec intel core i7. It really helps when processing AutoCad, adobe, ETabs etc without problems (based on my experience)
Please feature me in one of your videos. Would love to share what a consultant QS does and my experiences
That’s a really good idea 💡
Is it a must for you to have done physics in high school to become a QS?
Firdaus Abdul where I studied it is , because you will do physics in your first year , so you need that highschool physics background.
I have a question tho, if you don't do physics in high-school can you still be eligible to become a qs
You'll have to do it in Varsity... You can always apply and see if they accept you
You actually forgot to mention TUT as places you can study to be a q.s
Mpilonhle Mbhele you’re right ! Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll add the link in the description 💕
Can I study quantity surveying if I didn't do Accounting in high school?
moshopjadi mokganyetji Yess Definitely ! I personally didn’t do accounting in Highschool, you’ll manage just fine. The ones who did it in highschool obviously did better than the ones who didn’t but it’s very doable.
QS is bae
Thabani masuku yess!!
Central University of Technology asweeelll
is it true that BIM is threatnening Quantity Surveying

Depends on the Varsity you decide to study at , so check ama prospectus
OK thanks..kodw yaz bengimisele ngoku apply e UJ
I am currently doing my 3rd year in Quantity surveying ,,,,, can u pls be my mentor if you don’t mind.
Hlamulo Shirinda qualified QS here with 10 years experience, anything you need to ask?
@@ScreamOG1 We need people like you to post videos on the profession, there's just not enough professionals to interact with about Q.S. in SA.
100k YaYa I’m no content creator unfortunately! If I can answer any questions feel free to ask though
@@ScreamOG1 Hi, I'm a QS student. Are you perhaps on Twitter or Facebook where it'll be easier to ask questions every once in a while? I won't be a nuisance at all. Thanks.
