Quantity Surveying is part of the large Environmental Science subject domain that shares much of its knowledge base with other disciplines. It primarily deals with measurements, costing and management of resources in the building construction process. Quantity surveying is concerned with the provision and analysis of information for decision making and resource allocation and most often, project management in the built environment. The profession requires that students have a broad knowledge base and acquire skills for managing and effectively integrating strands of information from diverse subject areas.
The programme is structured to ensure that student projects would expose them to problem solving skills through the use of modern techniques such as operational research mathematics and information technology tools. It will expose them to both the theoretical and practical experience of the industry.
