They also develop skills in negotiation, communication, and problem-solving, which are essential for working with clients, contractors, and other stakeholders. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications, often involving site visits, case studies, and the use of industry-standard software. 

Graduates of quantity surveying programs can pursue careers as quantity surveyors, cost consultants, project managers, or contract administrators in construction firms, consulting companies, or government agencies.
