The Reality of the Summer Site Visit 🏗️☀️
Walking onto a site in this Cape Town heatwave is a different kind of "Quantity Surveying." Yesterday was a reminder that while the BoQ looks great in the office, the site reality involves 40-degree climbs and heavy-duty PPE.
Sometimes the best part of the site visit is the walk back to the aircon. 🧊
To my fellow Estimators and QS professionals:
How are you handling site inspections during this heatwave? Do you prefer the early morning "beat the sun" sessions, or are you pushing through the midday peak?
