This course has been developed to provide you with the necessary skills, training and knowledge, upon successful completion, to work in roles ranging from professional and contractor quantity surveyors, commercial managers, project managers and similar roles from all sectors relating to the land, property and infrastructure industries.

• Due to a strong growth in the built environment as a whole and in particular in the importance placed on financial and legal management within the sector, the quantity surveying role has been growing in importance for a number of years and is now seen as one of the key roles in the delivery of successful construction projects.
• In development with our current industry partners, we have developed a course structure designed to provide exploration of a mix of technical skills and digital/technological knowledge, which aims to equip you for working in this growing sector, and preparing you for future developments in this fast moving industry.
• This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills, upon successful completion, to give expert advice on the effective management of finance and costs throughout the building lifecycle. You will have the opportunity to gain a solid understanding of quantification and costing of construction works, financial control and reporting, risk management, design economics and cost planning.
• You will be taught by current staff with academic and professional experience in quantity surveying, architectural practice, civil engineering and the construction industry, having worked in a variety of professional roles such as quantity surveying, building surveying, construction management, architectural technology and a wide range of professional organisations.
• Teaching is designed to be highly practical; throughout the course, and you will have the opportunity to draw on real-life case studies and participate in integrated project work, where theory is put into practice as soon as it is learned. For example, performing a real quantity survey in a commercial role for a client and presenting your findings to their asset management team.
