Program Overview

The Construction Manager monitors the progress and quality of the work on site, supervising and coordinating subcontractors and specialist suppliers. The objective of Quantity Surveying is to control cost, limit risk, and add value to a project.

For the first two years of the programme students follow a common curriculum. Students who successfully complete year 1 and year 2 may choose either the Bachelor of Science in Construction Management or the Bachelor of Science in Quantity Surveying in year 3. In addition to lectures, time is also given to practical work in surveying, drawing, project work and Computer Aided Design (CAD).
