Quantity surveyors and commercial managers are the financial experts of the construction world. By completing our BSc, the skills you develop will be of value to employers, and you’ll also possess the knowledge needed to successfully contribute to real world construction projects.

Once qualified, you’ll have the knowledge to become an integral part of the project delivery team and project lifecycle, from inception to handover. A career in quantity surveying and commercial management is varied. One day, you may be advising on project feasibility, reporting on project cost breakdowns to clients or administrating contracts. Another day, you could be involved in awarding packages of work, dealing legal matters, or working on final project accounts.

Quantification, estimating, construction technology and building legislation are just some of the essential skills that you’ll become well-practised in whilst on this course. Through engaging with practising quantity surveyors, commercial managers and project managers and being taught by leading academics and practitioners, you’ll gain the communication and people management skills needed to have a successful career within the field.

On this undergraduate course, you’ll get to contribute to the development of places where people live, work, travel and play and lead on the financial control of projects, from smaller scale specialist installations to major infrastructure projects. The work that you do will be critical to the growth and competitiveness of the emerging low carbon-built environment.

Developing employable graduates is something that the School of the Built Environment is committed to and with a projected increase in the demand for construction professionals around the world, we’ll ensure that you have the opportunity to develop the types of skills employers will be looking for.

With our campus being in London, you’ll benefit from and have access to some of the biggest, nationally, and internationally recognised projects, including infrastructure projects such as High Speed 2 and Thames Tideway. You’ll also have access to some of the world’s most influential contractors, developers and industry professional bodies. Through site visits, guest lectures and fieldwork we’ll ensure that you’re kept at the forefront of this dynamic and evolving sector.
