Course Overview
Before any project gets built, someone has to answer "how much material, and what will it cost?" — and professionals who answer accurately are never out of work. This 1-month (40-hour) QTO (Quantity Take Off) course at CADPOINT teaches practical quantity surveying: measuring from drawings, preparing estimates and building BOQs the way real consultancies do.
What you will learn
- Measurement fundamentals — units, modes of measurement and IS 1200 awareness
- Take-off from drawings — quantities for earthwork, concrete, masonry, finishes and steel
- Bar bending schedules — reinforcement quantities from structural drawings
- Rate analysis & BOQ — building priced bills of quantities
- Course project — a complete estimate for a residential building
Who should join?
Civil engineering and diploma students, site engineers and supervisors who prepare bills, and draughtsmen who want to add estimation to their skill set. Pairs naturally with our Civil CAD course.
