Quantity surveyors ensure that developments and construction projects are completed on time and within budget. Much of their work is concerned with financial aspects of construction, and they are increasingly involved in providing clients with strategic business advice. This degree reflects the mix of technical, economic, legal and managerial skills required in this industry. This course gives you sound knowledge of the construction and development processes, helping you develop the competencies you need to enter practice as a quantity surveyor. Year 1 explores the legal, technical and economic context within which construction professionals work. Modules in sustainable design and development and construction technology will prepare you for measurements – one of the core technical skills of a quantity surveyor. Year 2 builds on this knowledge and applies it to more-complex commercial structures. You will be introduced to cost-planning techniques, contract law and the pre/post-contract financial and contract administration duties of the quantity surveyor. The course will give you a business perspective, enabling you to understand the construction industry and its relationship to the consultancy market. Therefore, in Year 3, specialist modules in consultancy and project management cover topics such as the consultant–client relationship, organisational change management, project control and project team leadership. The course enables you to practise these skills, and culminates in a major group project in Year 3, along with an independent research project, enabling you to graduate confident that you have the knowledge and skills to begin your career as a professional quantity surveyor.
