If I were to use a QS again I would exclude them entirely from the tendering process, and ask for a bill of quantities and a cost estimate only.  This way the QS has less opportunity to screw over their client. 

Independent ( and impartial ) all the way  These people survive on the ones who just say "OK", with one client having paid north of £100k for plumbing in 6 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 utility....... I'd have done it for £99k ( FFS ). That price didn't include connecting to the hot water cylinder, no hot return pump / controls, and they also didn't insulate the hots / hot returns so the client inherited a free constant 6kW of UFH  ( unwanted space heating ) from the HRC, ergo they then could not use it and it's been switched off since ( Passivhaus ).
