This course integrates the various aspects of quantity surveying courses needed to function as a client. It simulates practice experience by giving students practical projects to work on in groups. Students will have a choice of project simulating the work of a client quantity surveyor. Work relating to developing skill as client quantity surveyor will typically consist of preliminary cost advice on a given project, cost planning, bill of quantities preparation, specifications, articles of agreement and production of tender documents.

This course integrates the various aspects of quantity surveying courses needed to contractor’s quantity surveyor. It simulates practice experience by giving students practical projects to work on in groups. Students will have a choice of project simulating the work of a contractor’s quantity surveyor. Work relating to developing skill as a contractor’s quantity surveyor will typically consist of responding to tender adverts, pricing of bills of quantities, preparation of tender programme, contractor’s cash flow forecasting and analysis, preparation of contract master programme.

Studio-based course aimed at consolidating the knowledge and skill the students would have acquired from the different courses over the years. The course focuses group or individual/independent work on buildings in which students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the design, development of services, structural computations, structural detailing (Students are to engage in detailing of a complete building or of a structural element thereof) and preparation of the following building production management documents (otherwise known as Builder’s documents): Construction Program (using Microsoft Project/Primavera), Project Health and Safety Plan, Project Quality Management Plan, Construction Methodology. Solutions to set assignments with adequate clarity and against a set time frame.
