when he said "the collaborative part" my mind directly to middle man and govt officials taking cuts.. in the Philippines at least, i dunno about Australia.. can someone clarify?

What are they talking about? Who needs who? and for what?

construction is awesome

Thankyou for discussion, it's hitting the problems our industry is facing worldwide on the head

I hope you're doing great! I just wanted to give you a quick tip regarding the tags on your KZbin videos. It seems like hashtags (#) are being used in the video tags section, but according to KZbin's algorithm, it's more effective to use simple tags without the hashtag symbol. This can help improve the visibility and reach of your amazing content! Your videos are truly inspiring, and I believe this small change could make an even bigger impact!

So glad to find this podcast. I Subscribed too

Can't stop watching this ❤

more rubbish much the same as purchasing carbon credits. You give someone money to continue polluting with clear consciences.

@5:00 A city hall had put a note on the door saying "Online files must be submitted at the service desk on 2nd floor." or I saw a print paper having the link at the bottom of the page.

This video shed some light over the view I had about ICMS and NRM. Being rather unfamiliar with the way they could both fit or connected into a project and thinking it has to be one or another, I have a better understanding now.

Capitalists always complaining while doing nothing of value

Maybe we should treat workers well

So the frustration is that when you hire someone, they aren’t enslaved for every week and hour of their life to squeeze that 80k as far as it’ll go? Ireland is going to the dogs real fast lad.

...an English boss, a basterd. An Irish one, even worse. ☭🇮🇪

If when hire one already knows all this it means all these "beneficts" are already priced in. So you are not paying more for the benefits but actually paying less for actual work.

dude... just look at what happened to pay vs productivity since the 80s.... outsourcing shit is a bad long term investment. we can clearly see this today..

I was wondering what he was talking about until he said “good quality materials and design documentation.” Thought he was taking about hit men!

Now imagine you have none of that... Thats AI (currently)

Well thats the theory anyway

thanks for the video as a QS myself going through the initial stage of BIM implementation I can say that demand is not there for many reasons I think mainly because most of software are very expensive, they tend to create silos-like environments where open exchange is discouraged there are many publications and tutorials on BIM but very few are at a level where professionals can start using it If BIM were to be shown from a very practical standpoint it would gain immediate traction, otherwise it sounds like a bunch of gibberish stuff to many BIM+QS is a match made in heaven, but needs to be properly supported for people (including clients) to fully appreciate its benefits

I think we wildly underestimate the demographic of those still Performing the work. Me I’m 36, majority of those I hire are in their 50s plus. They were taught by very old, yet tried and true men with processes that still are very functional today. Now I bill, estimate, measure and the like technologically. However, whether we are grading, framing, doing concrete or paver work, we still use grade sticks and string line. Heavy equipment is a tool not the whole process. My father, age 77, taught me what he knew and the cycle will continue with my son. Now, I know it’s different between large scale commercial or high rise construction but for the most part, we opt for the piece of paper as it’s what we can all Relate to.

The algorithm found me 😂 nice work Ross

A Quantity Surveyor, at professional level is an Accountant of a Construction project. So, it implies that a Quantity Surveyor should be able to give the maximum possible value for the money spend by their clients. Unfortunately, this is not achieved in the construction industry. The loss owing to frauds and mismanagement is estimated to be 10-30% of the project costs. Happening in all countries. It is an affront to the profession. Therefore, it is a requirement that all Quantity Surveyors and their unions should concentrate on Technical Auditing. Auditing is considered to be the “Check &Balance Mechanism “for Government expenditure. Carried out by Financial Accountants only and they maintain a firm grip and lot of financial vested interests. Govt. funded constructions were simple structures when auditing started a century ago and it was easy to audit. Govt. funded construction now, is huge, complex, done in several phases with complicated Contractual arrangements. Auditing such constructions is difficult even for highly experienced construction professionals. The loss owing to frauds and mismanagement in these audited (Financial) Govt. constructions is a world record. It was reported as US $ 4 Trillion per year by Transparency Internationals. Global Organistion of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) submitted a proposal in 2015 to have an additional Technical Audit with a functioning Technical Auditing mechanism to salvage this avoidable loss in public funds. This is a good opportunity for Quantity Surveyors to audit around US $ 12 Trillion Govt. funded constructions per year. There a is scope for other constructions as well as the loss is estimated to be 10 -30% of the project costs. There is a big opportunity (in excess of millions per year) for Quantity Surveyors to work as Technical Auditors.

How to destroy an economy in one easy step. How to keep you boot on the neck of developing countries at the same time. How to pass massive legislation, on sketchy data. How to move a bit closer towards authoritarian rule. We dont even accurately measure the ecological effect of electric vehicles...how do you expect to do this? The enforcement measure if just left off the end of this short...ill make it easy for ya, a jail cell, the end of a rifle if youre poorish - if youre a super rich dude, maybe some fines.

Promo-SM 😊

I really like the podcast. was struggling to find problem statement in my research,. you have really helped me

We need to end this insanity now, not copy other lunatics.

Thats a nice way of saying you wanted to exploit workers from regions where they have no workers rights.

Who and why? 😮

Its why we have no engineers, and have to hire them from abroad. Also doctors and nurses.

Guys this guy is related to Peter griffin

With the BIM, we should solve all Stockholder's problems not just design issues. So absolutely quality of information in the model is an important thing that the design team should not forget. If the design team in the design phase starts to work with the cost manager or quantity surveyor in my opinion we can achieve a better output project.

Thanks for sharing, quite insightful.

That was inciteful.

Great topic, it was an eye opener. I am looking forward (or listening to your presentation) to how quantity surveyors can transform their firms to practically adapt to 5D BIM.

Cool! Love it 😍! Get to know the secret = Promo SM!
