Course Overview
The Quantity Surveying and Construction Cost Management course is designed to equip participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in managing the financial and contractual aspects of construction projects. As the construction industry becomes increasingly complex and cost-driven, the role of a Quantity Surveyor (QS) has become pivotal in ensuring that projects are delivered within budget, on time, and to the required quality standards.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices of quantity surveying, covering all stages of construction—from feasibility and design through to procurement, construction, and final account settlement. Participants will gain hands-on experience in cost estimation, tendering, contract administration, cost control, and value engineering.
Key Topics Covered:

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
