Are you the kind of person who likes to be involved in building projects both on site and off site and seeing building projects progress from concept to completion? The building industry is taking off and it needs more quantity surveyors to administer and control construction costs and budgets. This is an ideal qualification if you are good with numbers and measurements.

 

Through the NZ Diploma in Construction program you’ll learn about construction principles and methods, building legislation, conflict management, contract conditions and administration, environmental sustainability and how to quantify and estimate material and labour costs. 

 

This two-year qualification will give you the knowledge, understanding and skills to work with limited supervision as a Quantity Surveyor.

 

Learn how to: 

• Communicate in a construction related context
• Select materials and finishes for building projects, 
• Administer construction contracts 
• Present feasibility information and preliminary estimates to clients
• Assemble quantity surveying documentation 
• Collate all priced components into a tender submission.

 

With more training, this qualification could be a starting point, leading to a career as a senior quantity surveyor, registered quantity surveyor or contracts manager.
