Description

Quantity Surveying: Contract Administration, Procurement & Tendering

The Quantity Surveying: Contract Administration, Procurement & Tendering programe is designed to equip students with the essential skills needed to manage the financial, contractual, and technical aspects of construction projects. As a key player in the construction industry, a quantity surveyor ensures that projects are completed within budget, on time, and according to legal and contractual specifications. This diploma provides a deep dive into the various tools and techniques used to measure, calculate, and control costs throughout the life of a construction project.

Students will begin with an Introduction to Quantity Surveying, where they will learn the basics of the profession and understand its importance in the broader context of construction. They will explore building and construction economics, helping them understand the financial aspects of construction projects, including budgeting, cost control, and the economic implications of different building methods.

The course then delves into the tools and techniques of surveying, including surveying instrumentation, area measurement, and distance measurement. These techniques are vital for gathering accurate data on construction sites, which is essential for ensuring that projects are built to specification. The modules cover levelling, contouring, and the use of angles and directions to measure and plan construction activities accurately. Students will also be introduced to the concepts of error and uncertainty, ensuring that they understand how to manage and mitigate measurement inaccuracies.

A key focus of the course is Building Information Modelling (BIM), a modern technology that is transforming the construction industry. BIM allows students to simulate and manage construction projects digitally, streamlining planning, design, and construction processes. This knowledge will be critical as students prepare to work in an increasingly digital construction environment.

In addition to technical skills, the course covers contract administration, procurement, and tendering, ensuring that students understand how to manage contracts, procure materials and services, and navigate the tendering process. These skills are vital for ensuring that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with legal standards.

Students will also gain expertise in construction cost estimation, construction technology, and environmental services, learning how to estimate costs accurately and adopt sustainable construction practices. The course concludes with a deep dive into land laws in the UK, ensuring students are well-versed in the legal frameworks governing land and construction activities.

By the end of the course, students will be fully prepared to manage the complex financial, technical, and legal aspects of construction projects, making them invaluable assets to any construction team. Whether working for contractors, consultants, or clients, this course provides the knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed in the field of quantity surveying.
