1. Project Manager
Day to day management of project
Responsibility to deliver required products in accordinance with
time, cost, quality.scope,risk and benefit goal
Manages approved variations from plan
Manages stage boundary approvals
Instructs task Managers
Providing status reports to the client
Managing and leading the project team.
Liaises with, and updates progress to, project board/senior
management.
2. Architects
Prepare information regarding design, structure specifications,
materials, color, equipment, estimated costs, and construction time.
Consult with client to determine functional and spatial requirements
of structure.
Direct activities of workers engaged in preparing drawings and
specification documents.
Plan layout of project.
Prepare scale drawings.
Integrate engineering element into unified design.
Conduct periodic on-site observation of work during construction to
monitor compliance with plans.

3. Structural Engineer
Design: Many structural engineers deal primarily in the design of
structures - calculating the loads and stresses the construction will
have to safely withstand. Structural engineers should be able to
factor in the different qualities and strengths delivered by a range of
building materials, and understand how to incorporate support
beams, columns and foundations.
Investigation: Before work can begin, structural engineers are
involved in the investigation and survey of build sites to determine
the suitability of the earth for the requirements of the upcoming
project.
Communication: Structural engineers will be required to coordinate and consult with other members of their projects, including
engineers, environmental scientists, architects and landscape
architects. They may also be required to assist government bodies
in their own inspections relating to the project.
Management: Structural engineers are often responsible for the
organisation and delivery of materials and equipment for the needs
of the construction project. The supervision and management of onsite labour may also be a necessity.

4. Quantity surveyor
managing the finances for any kind of construction project, whether
its a house, a high-rise, a bridge, or a tunnel
working to keep the project on time
working to keep the project within the budget
making sure that construction costs and production are managed as
efficiently as possible
Resolving disputes between contracting parties.
preparing insurance replacement estimates for all kinds of
buildings, including houses
Before construction starts

Quantity surveyors can help with feasibility studies for a project.

They can roughly estimate whats involved in the project, based on
measurements of the designers or clients sketches.
The quantity surveyor studies the architects and engineers plans,
identifies the costs involved, and then sets an overall estimated
budget for the project. They may compare the project with others
like it.
The quantity surveyor can then plan costs to help the design team
stay within the project budget using practical solutions. This is
called value engineering.
The final detailed estimate is prepared by the quantity surveyor,
together with a project architect. This is the basis for evaluating
tenders.

When construction starts, the quantity surveyor keeps costs on track

Once the building starts, the quantity surveyor can provide cash
flow data so the client can arrange the finances needed for each
stage of the project.
The quantity surveyor can also assess cost effects when changes to
the project occur, such as delays, and agree on variation with
contractors.
The quantity surveyor can provide a bank with a project report and
help a client by preparing draw down certificates for money to be
loaned by the bank.
Resolving disputes between clients, designers and building
contractors is another role in some projects.

When construction is over, the quantity surveyor adds up the total cost

The quantity surveyor can prepare a statement of final account,

which records the actual costs for all sections of the job.

5. Surveyor

Prepare and maintain sketches, maps, reports, and legal

descriptions of surveys in order to describe, certify, and assume
liability for work performed.
Verify the accuracy of survey data, including measurements and
calculations conducted at survey sites.
Direct or conduct surveys in order to establish legal boundaries for
properties, based on legal deeds and titles.
Record the results of surveys, including the shape, contour, location,
elevation, and dimensions of land or land features.
Calculate heights, depths, relative positions, property lines, and
other characteristics of terrain.
Prepare or supervise preparation of all data, charts, plots, maps,
records, and documents related to surveys.
Write descriptions of property boundary surveys for use in deeds,
leases, or other legal documents.
Plan and conduct ground surveys designed to establish baselines,
elevations, and other geodetic measurements.
Search legal records, survey records, and land titles in order to
obtain information about property boundaries in areas to be
surveyed.
Coordinate findings with the work of engineering and architectural
personnel, clients, and others concerned with projects.
Adjust surveying instruments in order to maintain their accuracy.
Establish fixed points for use in making maps, using geodetic and
engineering instruments.
Determine longitudes and latitudes of important features and
boundaries in survey areas, using theodolites, transits, levels, and
satellite-based global positioning systems (GPS).
Train assistants and helpers, and direct their work in such activities
as performing surveys or drafting maps.

6. Geotechnical Engineer

development
Pile load parameters and performance prediction (new and existing)

including deep peat swamps
Geotechnical/geological aspects of landfill and waste disposal
systems
Slope stability; investigation, analysis and design of remedial works
Rock slope stability investigation and rock bolting design
Temporary support design for deep excavations
Excavatability investigation and analyses
Liquefaction investigation and analyses
Peer Review in relation to ground water dewatering for large scale
developments

Providing expert evidence.
