confidential reports on contractors and all matters concerning staff below 'Senior' level.
4.09. Details of the many projects undertaken by these three Divisions, which were under construction or were completed during the year, are given in paragraphs 4.29 to 4.80.
QUANTITY SURVEYING DIVISION
Government Quantity Surveyor: H. MILLER, F.R.I.C.S., F.I.Arb.
Chief Quantity Surveyor: M. M. LUXTON, A.R.I.C.S.
4.10. This Division is under the control of the Government Quantity Surveyor, assisted by a Chief Quantity Surveyor and is divided into five sections each under the supervision of a Senior Quantity Surveyor, dealing respectively with new projects generally; special projects (e.g. large hospitals, Kai Tak Airport, etc.); Resettlement and Government Low Cost Housing; maintenance of buildings; and estimates, materials supplied through Government Supplies Department, cost statistics and Architectural Office library. The Division has an establishment of 42 Quantity Surveyors and professional assistants; supporting technical staff is engaged on preparation of contract documents for minor works, computing, checking, 'working-up', site measurement and similar duties.
4.11. 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. It is also responsible for arranging contracts and checking accounts for the maintenance of Government buildings and British Armed Forces buildings, including checking of the measurement of all works orders exceeding $1,600 in value.
4.12. During the year under review 194 contracts were placed to a total value of $167 million and some 7,320 accounts were checked for work executed under the Maintenance Contracts to a total value of $27.6 million. The engagement of the services of private quantity surveyors was necessary for certain very urgent work as well as for projects undertaken by private architects. There was an increase in such engagements due, principally, to the necessity to remeasure work completed on contracts held by a contractor who suffered financial failure and also due to difficulty in recruiting qualified staff.
