Rayaan Fataar opened FAQS in November 2020 with the vision of starting his own practice after completing the SACQSP professional registration in June 2021. Leading up to this, he worked for various professional quantity surveying practices and construction companies in Cape Town, Western Cape.

Rayaan completed his BTech Degree in Quantity Surveying at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in 2012 and recently finished a eight year stint at SAT Quantity Surveyors as a Senior QS for the practice. Currently FAQS is run solely by Mr. Fataar and will employ Junior QS's in the near future in order to mentor them in becoming the next generation of professionals in the industry.

With FAQS being a relatively new practice, there are currently minimal projects to list, however the project experience gained at his previous practice and under mentorship of Mr. Stephen John Nell (PrQS) was extremely impactful. This experience, spanning over 15 years, proved invaluable and assisted him to take the next step in his career. The projects ranged from high-end residential apartments, high-rise student accommodations, luxury homes, commercial shopping centres, industrial warehouses, educational and recreational buildings, dispute resolution and expert witness in legal proceedings. Our experience in these various industries and sectors will prepare us to assist in the successful completion of a myriad of projects.

FAQS is currently rated as a level 1 BBBEE contributor and 100% owned by Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDI). FAQS are also affiliates with the following regulatory bodies: SACQSP, ASAQS.
