This course prepares you for a career as a quantity surveyor and/or commercial manager. This may be in design, engineering, management or surveying.

Quantity surveyors and commercial managers operate in all sectors of the built environment and are primarily concerned with the value and financial management of construction projects and the subsequent building life cycle

Quantity Surveyors, with their strong commercial and contractual bias, are the financial services of the construction industry - the kind of position that suits problem-solvers with analytical minds. On this accredited degree you’ll follow a broad and rigorous programme of studies, picking up a sound understanding of the fundamentals, principles and applications of construction technology, management and economics.

Maximising value for money in construction projects is crucial when dealing with tight budgets and strict contractual agreements. A quantity surveyor advises on these issues at all stages of a project and must therefore understand construction technology, legal issues and how to plan and monitor costs.
