Competency has been defined in many different ways from different perspectives since its establishment. It can be referred to organizationally or individually. This research area has increasingly attracted researchers during the past few years. Currently, reviews in the literature on Quantity Surveyors (QS) competency are lacking. Therefore, considering the contribution by recent studies, a comprehensive review is attempted. This paper aims to provide an in-depth review of the literature on QS competency from both local and global perspectives. Within this study, the authors have reviewed the competency literature in a way that would help other researchers, academicians and professional bodies to have a closer look at the growth and development of QS competency. The authors examined various research papers, and on this basis, propose new competency elements for QS profession in the subsequent phase of the research process. In addition, certain gaps that would provide hints for further research in QS competency were identified. © 2024 Author(s).
