Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Quantity Surveying
Construction Projects supply the key infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of our modern society ranging from Schools to Hospitals, Houses, Apartment Buildings, Office Blocks, Factories, Warehouses, Data Centres, Shops & Retail. Quantity Surveyors manage and control all aspects of costs on a construction project. Their expertise is critical to ensuring that construction projects are completed on time and within budget.
While Measuring and Valuing construction work is at the heart of what Quantity Surveyors do, they are deeply involved in many other aspects of the construction process including Tendering and Contract Administration, Procurement of Materials and Subcontractors, Pricing of Tenders, Project Management and advising clients on contractual implication and Building Economics.
Quantity Surveyors must have a deep understanding of Construction Technology and Construction Methods. The core expertise of a Quantity Surveyor is in all aspects of the Cost of Construction and in particular Measuring and Valuing Construction Work. They will have a deep knowledge of Construction Contract Law and Administration, and strong Procurement and Negotiation skills.
Quantity Surveyors normally work for Professional Quantity Surveyor firms as part of the Design Team advising Clients or they work as quantity surveyors or estimators for Building Contracting firms that construct the projects. They may also work with Property Developers, directly for Clients as Building Procurement Managers and in a variety of other roles across the Construction Industry.
