Project manager, quantity surveyor, consultant… does anyone know what they’re supposed to be called these days?
Well, it seems Rider Levett Bucknall – a firm of, er, QS’s, still cares about such details. I received an email from them last week entitled Sustainable Growth For Rider Levett Bucknall. It trumpeted its appointment by Chichester District Council on a new museum project. At the end it described one of its staff - Carrie Weldon – as a “quantity surveyor”. But what the text originally called her was a “project manager”. Some eager quibbler had altered the Word document before it was sent out but forgot to hide the changes. In the margin their comment read: “This may be the term RLB uses internally but we have a project manager overall so it needs to be changed.” If a specialist company can’t make its mind up, what chance have the rest of us got?
