Abstract
Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) services costs constitute a substantial proportion of the total cost of a building. Realistic cost estimates for this element are a desirable option by industry stakeholders because the total building cost can potentially be reduced if the cost of M&E services can effectively be managed throughout the life of the project. In the building construction industry, quantity surveyors are engaged to prepare cost estimates on all aspects of the building and provide cost advice services at every stage of the building construction projects. However, M&E services are one aspect of a building that quantity surveyors find very difficult to prepare cost estimates for. This study explored the role of quantity surveyors and, the challenges involved in the delivery of M&E services cost estimation.
