Certified Training
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
