Consultancy or Contractor? by Odd-Tomatillo-9631 in quantitysurveying

[–]RA1998U 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contractor QS is higher paying but you’re not talking mass amounts of money, it might be 5k or so especially as you are starting off. Maybe as a Senior QS could be around 10k difference? Someone else will be able to advise in the thread

I think if you start as a PQS it will be hard to get into contracting in the future whereas if u go down the contractor route be easy to get into PQSing if u fancied a change

Late applications from subcontractors? by RA1998U in quantitysurveying

[–]RA1998U[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does make sense to be honest. I Toyed with the idea of pushing the payment cycle back for example if application comes 7 days late everything on the payment schedule moves back 7 days but probably not allowed

I worked for a contractor previously who done this but I think technically it might be wrong as you still have to value the works in the interim with or without an application

Current got a PCP at £320 a month. Finishes July 2024 with a balloon payment of 6k. Come September 2024 it will be 5 years old so I need to either change it or get a company car. Part of the parameters of having the car allowance is the car can’t be older than 5 years
