The importance of the discipline of quantity surveying has been known by mankind from time immemorial; The Bible in Luke 14:28 refers to it; “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.”
Our programmes are practical; they are a combination of theory and practical case studies from the industry.
