Course description

Practical Road & Infrastructure Quantity Surveying Using Real Project Drawings

Learn how quantity surveying and estimation are actually performed on road and infrastructure projects.

This course takes you from the fundamentals of Quantity Surveying through to reading real project drawings, AutoCAD measurement, Excel quantity takeoffs, roadworks, earthworks, pavement quantities, rate analysis, tunnel quantities and reinforcement calculations.

The course follows a practical workflow:

PROJECT DRAWINGS → AUTOCAD MEASUREMENT → QUANTITY TAKEOFF → EXCEL → BOQ → RATE ANALYSIS → ESTIMATE

What You Will Learn

✓ Understand the role and responsibilities of a Quantity Surveyor
✓ Build practical Excel skills for quantity surveying
✓ Use AutoCAD tools for measurement and takeoff
✓ Read actual road plans, sections and detailed drawings
✓ Understand measurement principles and Bills of Quantities
✓ Calculate demolition and earthwork quantities
✓ Measure excavation, imported filling and road formation works
✓ Calculate asphalt, base course, sub-base and other pavement quantities
✓ Measure road edges, kerbs and barriers
✓ Measure road markings and traffic signs
✓ Understand and prepare construction rate analysis
✓ Work through practical tunnel quantity calculations
✓ Measure concrete quantities from infrastructure drawings
✓ Calculate reinforcement and prepare bar bending schedules

A Practical Course — Not Just Theory

You will work through practical examples showing how quantities are developed from construction information and transferred into structured calculations.

The objective is not simply to teach you what quantity surveying is. The objective is to help you understand how a Quantity Surveyor actually approaches drawings and develops measurable quantities for infrastructure works.
