Content

Quantity Surveyors (also known as Construction Cost Consultants or Commercial Managers) manage all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects, from the early design plans, through to completion. Quantity Surveyors seek to minimise the costs of a project and enhance value, while still achieving the required standards and quality. Many of these are specified by statutory building regulations, which the surveyor needs to understand and adhere to.

The HND in Quantity Surveying is a technician level qualification that combines a construction industry specific first-year curriculum with a more specialist second-year curriculum that equips you with the skills required for employment in this specialist industry sector.

You'll be taught by staff with significant Construction Industry experience and a proven track record of bringing out the best in their students.
