Surveyors and staffed by 23 Quantity Surveyors, with 7 professional assistants and supporting technical staff for computing, checking, 'working-up', site measurement and similar duties. The Division is responsible for the preparation of estimates, bills of quantities, contract documents, valuations for interim payments and final accounts for all Architectural Office projects and for arranging contracts and checking accounts for the maintenance of all Government buildings. During the year under review 100 contracts were placed to a total value of $122 million and some 4,800 accounts were checked for work executed under the Maintenance Contracts, costing approximately $12.6 million. Due to improved recruiting of staff, it has not been necessary to engage the services of private quantity surveyors for projects other than those undertaken by private architects.
2.11. The Division has, in addition, been responsible for the collection of statistical and cost advisory information and for providing advice to other departments on grant-in-aid and subsidized schools and co-operative housing schemes.
