Diploma in Quantity Surveying

This programme aims to provide participants with an understanding of other disciplines within the construction industry with a focus predominately on the quantity surveying fields. It is hoped that this wider knowledge will be transferable within the wider construction industry promoting greater understanding between sectors and allow individuals greater career flexibility. The skills include establishing a design brief, preparing working drawings, understanding the context of working drawings, research and pricing of construction and associated work, and communicating with persons within the wider construction industry.
