Bachelor of Science in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management
Quantity surveyors play an integral role in the construction industry. They are responsible for the management of costs of buildings and infrastructure from the early stages of a project including feasibility studies, design planning, construction, operations and maintenance. They are responsible for making sure that projects meet legal and quality standards and that commercial risks are allocated and managed effectively. They have overall responsibility of ensuring that client organizations get value for money in building and infrastructure development. Alternative job titles for quantity surveyors in the construction industry include: “cost consultant”, “cost manager”, “cost engineer, and “commercial manager”. The proposed BSc in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management at A’Sharqiyah University will equip students with the skills involved in design economics, procurement methods, cost planning and estimating, life cycle costing, measurement, quantification and valuation of construction work and contracts management.
