Summary
The role of the Quantity Surveyor is diverse: evaluating subcontractor tenders and making recommendations to clients, managing construction costs and cash flows during the construction phase, and negotiating and agreeing on final project accounts. With a Bachelor of Construction (Construction Economics), you gain the skills to contribute to this exciting industry. Develop the technical skills and applied knowledge to ensure that construction projects are delivered to agreed budgets. Learn to undertake estimating and cost planning and prepare tender documentation. In this programme you'll learn about construction practice, team management, cost planning and advanced estimating techniques, tendering, and design management. Studying full-time is like doing a full-time job. You might only be in lectures and workshops for 16 hrs a week, but you are expected to spend another 24 hours a week on self-directed study, quizzes, re-reading lecture content, and working on assignments. That makes 40 hours. We recognize many of you want or need to work whilst you are studying, but we would not recommend you to do any more than part-time study if you have a full-time job and don’t let your working hours overlap with your lecture times. Once you've completed this programme you'll receive a Bachelor of Construction (Construction Economics). As a graduate of this programme, you'll be eligible to become an accredited member of the following registered bodies:
