Quantity Surveying

The cost significant activities that happens in construction projects are different than that of design/ analysis activities. Cost overrun is not an uncommon phenomenon in projects, more particularly with the construction projects where the budget involved is very high. That is the reason why quantity surveying activity is considered as the most important activity among all in a construction project.

As part of this training program, you will learn about how to take off various quantities from the CAD design, estimation of resources, budget finalization techniques and cost analysis of project. Apart from knowing the theoretical concepts, you will also learn to do quantity estimation and costing of resources by working on an industrial grade software.

In short, with this training program you will be able to understand the various steps involved in the quantity surveying and budgeting techniques that involves within a construction project.
