This book is written for Quantity Surveyors who recognise the need to evolve from conventional cost and measurement roles towards data driven strategic roles, yet remain unsure how to begin within the Malaysian construction landscape.

Blending local policy, industry practice, and case-based insight, it guides readers from cost analytics to digital data governance, empowering Quantity Surveyors as strategic decision makers.
