What you'll study

On our Quantity Surveying degree course, you will learn the skills to equip you for a career in the construction industry, including:

communicating effectively via 2D and 3D drawings

measurement and surveying

contract administration and contract law

financial management of construction projects

risk management

dispute resolution.

As you learn, you will develop broader skills in oral and written communication and teamwork. These skills are not only essential for quantity surveyors, but also in the wider job market – making you highly employable in any future career you choose.

This is a truly contemporary course, on which you will gain a good knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing the construction industry today. For example, you will learn about:

application of new technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and project management software

sustainability and sustainable construction.

Your learning activities will be wide-ranging to suit a variety of learning styles, spanning practical and written tasks, including:

lectures

tutorial sessions

demonstrations

workshops

practical laboratory sessions

online discussions

peer review and observation

in-class presentations.

Please note, we regularly review our course content to offer relevant, impactful and career-shaping learning. Therefore, the following modules are indicative and subject to change.

Compulsory modules

Statutory Control of Buildings

This module is designed to give you an understanding and appreciation of building regulations and town and country planning legislation that affect the building industry. You will be able to investigate the effects of the legislation upon construction projects. You'll also gain essential knowledge and skills regarding health and safety.

Design Procedures and Procurement

This module will give you an overview of the design process, approaches to procurement and the constraints on these approaches. You will also examine the role of the project manager and learn to communicate using various methods appropriate to the role.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM)

On this module, you will train to use computer aided design (CAD). You will start by learning to use basic AutoCAD functions to produce 2D building design drawings, including floor plans, elevations and sections. Then, you will progress to applying AutoCAD Revit to produce more complicated and complete design drawings, including 3D views and assembly and part details.

Building Structure and Materials

This module provides an overview of the principal building materials used in construction and introduces key structural concepts such as bending moments and shear forces in simple structures. You will focus on selecting appropriate materials through studying the engineering performance characteristics, human comfort and sustainability considerations of those materials. The module also looks at repair and maintenance strategies, recycling and reuse of materials.

Construction Technology 1

This module will introduce you to concepts of building technology, from site investigation to foundations to the structure of low-rise buildings. You will also study finishes and primary service provision, including gas and electricity services.

Professional Practice

In this module, you will learn the basic construction and academic skills you will need to complete the course. These can range from basic skills in numeracy, literacy and IT to drawing skills and the surveying techniques used in construction.

Construction Law

During this module, you will have the opportunity to develop your awareness of how the law applies to all aspects of construction.

Construction Technology 2

This module will allow you to develop your knowledge and understanding of building technology, focusing on the consequences of science on building design and sustainability. Your studies will also cover multi-floored construction and a greater depth of services.

Measurement and Documentation

The aim of this module is to develop a professional understanding of the client’s requirements and expectations in terms of accuracy in measurements in accordance with the RICS Rules of Conduct and international property measurement standards (IPMS). The module will focus on the evaluation of building and/or site conditions at the time of the survey and factors that influence the way measurements have been undertaken. You will develop an appreciation of time, and cost elements in reporting and explore the ramifications of the level of accuracy that is sufficient for the purpose.

Environmental Science and Building Services

This module will provide you with knowledge about environmental science to help understand concepts and principles of heat and thermal insulation, air movement and ventilation, moisture and condensation, noise and sound insulation, and natural and artificial light with various types of lighting design. You will also look at building services and how these are integrated in the design of buildings.

Cost Planning and Design Economics

This module aims to provide you with an appreciation of construction costs and their control from inception to completion of a project. It considers what affects the cost of a building, and how the costs of the development can be controlled at the pre-contract stage of the project. The importance of lifecycle costs and the maintenance management of a building are also considered.

Project Management

The aim of this module is to introduce you to key principles and strategies for effective project management in today’s highly competitive global marketplace and to the terminology used by professional bodies such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and APM. You will consider current research and trends in the field and will gain a deeper understanding of the roles of key participants and the project manager throughout each stage of a project lifecycle following the RIBA plan of work. You will also hone your leadership skills, learning how best to support and guide team members and how to work effectively amid the constraints of time and budget and disruptions of project uncertainty.

Commercial Management

In this module, you will learn how to analyse the connection between the commercial management of projects and successful business management. By measuring work value and through forecasting, you will learn to assess buying strategies and their implications, both from the client and from the contractor perspective.

Contract Administration

On this module, you will study and analyse the contract administration factors that apply to project delivery and facilities management. This module will take a detailed look at contract provisions from the bottom up, looking at their practical applications.

Advanced Measurement and Quantity Surveying Practice

The module is designed to apply the principles of pre-contract, advance building and civil engineering measurements, cost management, contract administration, cost control, project cost analysis, and provide you with an understanding of pricing Bill of Quantity, and cost forecasting.

Sustainable Technologies for Building

In this module, you will investigate the effects of sustainable practices upon construction projects, examine building technologies that are appropriate to the sustainable principles and consider how sustainable construction projects actually are.
