Quantity surveyors are independent, professional consultants who are responsible for the financial management of construction projects. They provide specialised financial and contractual services, as well as advice to clients in the construction industry. They act in collaboration with, among others, architects, consulting engineers and contractors to promote the interests of the building client.
The three-year BSc (Quantity Surveying) and BScHons (Quantity Surveying) programmes are accredited nationally by the SACQSP and internationally by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The RICS has a worldwide footprint, which provides our degrees in quantity surveying with international recognition. The Department also offers master’s and doctoral degrees, which can be obtained by submitting a thesis and passing an oral examination.
For more information, please consult the Faculty webpage.
Quantity surveying is the science that delivers specialised financial and contractual services and advice to clients in the building and construction industry, as well as related industries. The three-year undergraduate degree is the first step towards registration as quantity surveyors. The ensuing one-year honours programme leads to registration as candidate professional quantity surveyors. Career opportunities, apart from those in the private, government or semi-government sectors, also exist in the property, banking, mining and manufacturing industries.
