Quantity Survey (Estimation, Billing and Contracts)
Why Quantity Survey?
To do the complete cost estimation analysis of any project from the initiating to closing, there is a great importance of quantity surveying. A quantity surveyor will estimate the quantities, prepare measurement sheets, and cost of various items altogether with the cost of materials, labor and the machinery and indirect costs required for the execution of a project.
What are the unique features of the training?
Hands-on training with real cases to estimate the correct quantities, consolidation of all quantities, rate analysis prepare the budget for effective project decision making
Who can participate?
Under/post Graduate Students, Diploma, Execution Engineers, Estimation Engineers, Cost controller, Project Managers, Billing Engineer, contract manager.
What are the benefits?
After completion of this course, learners will able to understand the roles of an Estimator, billing Engineer, contract manager and the skills required to perform the job roles. Learners will be able to read and interpret the drawings, unit measurements, estimate the correct quantities, prepare the Bar Bending schedule (BBS), Rate Analysis, understand and calculate various budget heads, prepare the client and subcontractor billing, understand the types of contracts and tendering process
How the evaluation done?
Before the course begins, the participants will evaluate himself/herself against the skills sets required to become the estimation/Billing/contract engineer. There will be continuous assessment through live case study and evaluation will be done to verify the development of skills.
Quantity Survey Duration?
