Written Assignment

Measurement/quantification and cost management is a core skill of a Quantity Surveyor. In this module, you will explore cost control and financial management strategies within the design and construction process and examine the process of setting, controlling and monitoring of cost / financial objectives during the project life cycle. You will be introduced to the construction cost management techniques for each stage of the design and construction process. This module will also introduce the basic concepts of building and Civil Engineering measurements to establish the fundamental knowledge about the role, the process, the basic rules and the industry standards of building and civil engineering measurements.
