Question Time is back — and it’s better than ever. After a brief baby-related break (sorry about skipping 224.1 and 228.1), Paul and Chris are back to answer your burning questions about quantity surveying, procurement, contracts, and even… sport.

In this episode, we cover:

  • 🧠 How to build a standout QS career — including which contract type to master and why
  • 🤖 What skills QSs need in an AI-driven world (spoiler: it’s not just tech knowledge)
  • 💸 Whether main contractors can mandate portals like PayApps — and if freezing access is legal or just cheeky
  • 🏉 What sport best represents the QS profession (Test cricket? Heptathlon? Rugby?)
  • 🏆 Which sports personality would make the best QS (yes, Roy Keane gets a shout)

Plus, advice for QSs returning to the UK job market and how to unlock freelance roles with developers, SMEs, and beyond.

This is QS advice from the trenches — funny, honest, and straight-talking. Question Time is officially back, every 4 episodes.

📩 If you'd like to read the two Own the Build eBooks based on 200+ episodes — Mastering Your Career in Quantity Surveying and The AI Revolution in Quantity Surveying — head to the show notes to download your free copy.
