Quantity Surveyor

IBMC is assisting a client in hiring a vital cost management and financial operational leader. Our client is a premier real estate and luxury villa development group dedicated to crafting high-end, buildable, and culturally aligned properties across Southeast Asia. Powering accurate financial control, complex procurement structures, and value engineering, they are expanding their elite footprint across key regional paradise destinations.

We are seeking a highly proactive, detail-oriented, and execution-driven Senior Quantity Surveyor to lead cost estimation, Bill of Quantities (BOQ) preparation, budget control, and cost monitoring across luxury villa and apartment complex developments. Based permanently on-site in Lombok, this is a senior, hands-on role requiring deep technical expertise in construction budgeting, strong command of local material and labor markets, and the ability to work autonomously with minimal supervision. Your goal is to safeguard project budgets, mitigate commercial risks, and deliver reliable cost data across the development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

BOQ Preparation & Cost Estimation

• Prepare detailed, accurate Bills of Quantities (BOQ) based on architectural and engineering design documentation (DED) for villas, apartments, and common infrastructure.
• Quantify all materials, labor, and equipment resources, applying up-to-date local Lombok and Bali market rates and productivity benchmarks.
• Develop full construction cost estimates in close coordination with architecture, engineering, and development teams, from early design stages through to final budget validation.

Budget Control & Cost Monitoring

• Track actual costs against approved budgets throughout the construction lifecycle by project and by cost item/BOQ code.
• Proactively identify cost deviations, trends, and risks, reporting findings with clear supporting data to project leadership.
• Feed accurate quantity and cost data into project forecasting, cash-flow planning, and reporting systems while maintaining organized, auditable cost records.

Valuation & Payments

• Evaluate contractor and subcontractor progress for interim and final payment certification, verifying completed works on-site against BOQ and contract terms.
• Review, negotiate, and assess the cost impact of variation orders, claims, and change requests.
• Support procurement workflows with cost benchmarking, comparative analyses of quotations, and vendor price evaluations.

Coordination & Local Market Expertise

• Liaise with architects, engineers, PMs, and site teams to ensure cost implications are fully integrated into every design and construction decision.
