The course prepares students to work as quantity surveyors or building economists. The course covers building management, cost planing and control, building development techniques, building research, computer software application, measurement of construction, and legal issues. Applicants will be initially enrolled in the Bachelor of Urban Development (Construction Management) but will be directed to take suitable units to graduate with a Quantity Surveying primary major.
QUT staff will provide every form of assistance possible, but it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure the accuracy and validity of your enrolment. Your Course Summary is the authoritative source on which units to complete and the order of progression required to get you to graduation.
