Course Summary

A quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects, from the initial calculations to the final figures. Quantity surveyors seek to minimise the costs of a project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standards and quality. A quantity surveyor may work for either the client or the contractor, working in an office or on-site. They are involved in a project from the start, preparing estimates and costs of the work.
