Background:
Farrow Laing, Stellenbosch is undoubtedly laid my foundation for the Quantity Surveying profession. This is where my interest in Quantity Surveying began. About a year later I decided to spend a week at Farrow Laing, gaining work experience in the field. The Daily Blog below details the activities in which I partook during this week.
