Valuation of Work in Progress
Under most forms of building or civil engineering contract, the contractor is paid each month for the work he has done during the preceding month. It is the Quantity Surveyor duty to measure and value the work carried out during the period in question, together with the value of any variation which may have been authorized, and to submit to the Architect or Engineer a recommendation regarding a payment on account. If the Architect or Engineer is satisfied that the work involved has been carried out in accordance with the terms of the contract, he will certify the amount due to the contractor in accordance with the Quantity Surveyor’s valuation.
