We’ll help you understand issues such as value for money, health and safety and the environment. <br/><br/>Using industry-standard software you’ll learn to measure and cost a range of construction projects. Guest lecturers will share their experiences and expertise with you, highlighting the latest ideas and issues in quantity surveying.<br/><br/>By the time you graduate, you’ll have a sound understanding of the demands of professional practice, including how to identify and meet clients’ needs.
