Hide-Is this course for you?
If you like the idea of being able to examine building drawings and know how much it would cost to make them a reality, then this course could be for you. Quantity surveyors estimate and manage the construction costs of building projects they take building design drawings and decide how much of each material is needed, the costs involved, the project planning needed to get it off the ground and any tax or legal implications that may arise. This course teaches the practical measuring skills and the legal, financial and business knowledge needed for careers in this area.
