About this interview
A quantity surveying chartership interview is a professional assessment of your competence, judgement and ethical conduct. Reviewers use your project experience to test how you measure, advise on procurement, administer contracts and maintain reliable cost information under pressure.
How to prepare
- Check the professional body's official pathway, competency levels and interview guidance.
- Choose projects that demonstrate cost planning, procurement, contract administration and change control.
- Refresh the contractual basis for decisions in your examples rather than relying on customary practice.
- Prepare to explain assumptions, exclusions and risk allowances in a cost report.
- Review an ethical dilemma where accurate advice conflicted with commercial or client pressure.
Common mistakes
- Giving a cost figure without its measurement basis, assumptions or exclusions.
- Confusing the project team's actions with duties you personally performed.
- Offering contractual advice without identifying the relevant provision or evidence.
- Hiding an adverse forecast to avoid a difficult client conversation.
