Abstract
Due to the successful joint listing of George Town and Malacca, conservation of heritage buildings has been ever-increasing. This creates more opportunity for consultants in the built environment including Quantity Surveyor (QS) to be involved in what was previously an uncommon area of work. However, the industry opines that the QS is merely transferring his expertise in new building practices to building conservation works. This method, though prevalent, tends to overlook the costs or items of highly specialised works that are not present in new construction but are critical to conservation work.
