BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying

Scotland's top-ranked construction management department is its Quantity Surveying and Construction Project Management discipline, which is worldwide renowned for the calibre of its research and instruction. Their degree programs give graduates the skills and information needed to guarantee that built environment projects are high-quality, economical, and sustainable.
In building projects with limited funds and stringent contractual obligations, maximising value for money is essential. Because they provide advice on these matters at every stage of a project, quantity surveyors need to be knowledgeable about construction technology, legal matters, and cost planning and monitoring. The goal of quantity surveying is to ensure that construction industry clients receive financial, contractual, and technical advice that will help them get the most out of the buildings they develop. The modern quantity surveyor is a construction expert who can be involved at any point in the design and construction process, from managing the onsite construction phase to advising on business strategy and collaborating with architects and design team consultants. The quantity surveyor is well-versed in contractual matters, project cost planning and control, and construction technology. This bachelor's degree equips you with all the abilities and information required to succeed as a quantity surveyor.
