Quantity Surveying Course
Quantity Surveying course will enable participants to effectively carry out their duties as a Quantity Surveyor in relation to overall contract activities of construction projects.
Some topics covered include: The Role of a Quantity Surveyor, Understanding Conditions of Contract for Construction; Conditions of Contract for Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Turnkey (EPC/T); The authority and responsibility of the Architect/Engineer; Project cost management; and Examining and Reporting on Tenders.
Project Management for Construction Course
