Quantity Surveying

About this course

Quantity surveying is the discipline concerned with managing cost, value, and risk in construction and the built environment. Quantity surveyors play a central role at every stage of a building project, from initial feasibility and budgeting through procurement and contract management to final accounts and dispute resolution. They act as the financial and commercial backbone of the construction industry, ensuring that projects are delivered within budget and that costs are controlled throughout the construction process. The profession is both technically demanding and commercially minded, requiring an unusual combination of mathematical precision and professional judgment. At the University of Portsmouth, this three-year, full-time BSc (Hons) is designed and delivered by practitioners with professional experience, ensuring the curriculum reflects current industry needs.
