Description:

Civil quantity surveying is an essential aspect of construction management that involves estimating, costing, and managing the materials and resources required for a civil engineering project. This course will cover the principles and techniques of quantity surveying specific to civil engineering projects, helping students develop the skills needed for accurate cost estimation and efficient resource management.

Key Highlights:

• Quantity Take Off
• Rate analysis
• BBS (Bar Bending Schedule)
• BOQ Preparation
• Tendering and Procurement
• Valuation

What you will learn:

• Quantity take off
  Quantity take off is the process of measuring and listing the materials and resources needed for a construction project. It involves analyzing drawings and specifications to provide accurate cost estimates. This crucial step helps optimize resource allocation and control project budgets effectively.
• Rate analysis
  Rate analysis involves calculating the cost of individual construction tasks by breaking down expenses into labor, materials, and overheads. This process ensures accurate budgeting and pricing for projects.
• Bill of Quantities

            A Bill of Quantities (BoQ) itemizes and quantifies all materials and labor needed for a construction project.It serves as a key tool for cost estimation and tendering, enabling accurate bids and clear communication between stakeholders. The BoQ ensures transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.

• Tendering and Procurement
  Tendering and procurement refer to the processes of inviting bids and selecting contractors for construction projects. This involves preparing tender documents, evaluating proposals, and negotiating contracts to ensure that projects are delivered on time and within budget, while meeting quality standards.
• Valuation

           Valuation is the process of determining the monetary value of a construction project or its components. It involves assessing the cost of work completed, materials used, and any changes to the project scope. Accurate valuation is essential for effective cost management, progress payments, and final account settlement.
