In today’s fast-paced construction industry, the demand for skilled professionals who can manage costs, prepare estimates, and interpret building plans is at an all-time high. The Quantity Surveyor Course in Rawalpindi offered by United College of Technology (UCT) is designed to produce job-ready professionals for Pakistan and the Gulf countries. Whether you’re aiming for site work, consultancy, or billing and estimation roles, this course gives you the technical knowledge and hands-on practice to excel in your career.
This diploma-level course provides comprehensive training in cost control, building measurement, quantity estimation, and tender documentation. It blends theory with practical learning so students can confidently handle real-world construction tasks. Students are introduced to building drawing interpretation, measurement techniques, rate analysis, and BOQ preparation. UCT ensures the course is aligned with industry standards, both local and international. You’ll also gain experience using key software tools such as AutoCAD and MS Excel, which are essential in any professional QS job.
The training includes real project case studies, helping students understand how projects are planned, budgeted, and executed. The emphasis is on skills that employers look for—both in Pakistan and Gulf countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman.
This is the backbone of the course. Students learn how to calculate the required quantities of construction materials such as brickwork, concrete, plaster, tiles, paint, excavation, steel, and more. Each quantity is broken down step-by-step using industry measurement standards.
Along side quantity takeoffs, students are trained in rate analysis—learning how to derive the cost of each material or item by factoring in current market prices, labor charges, transportation, and overheads. These skills help students create accurate cost sheets for projects of all sizes, from small homes to large commercial buildings. The real value of this module is that students can apply these techniques in freelancing or job roles right after completion.
Interpreting drawings is a core skill for any quantity surveyor. This section of the course teaches students how to read and understand architectural, structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) drawings.
You’ll learn how to extract measurements from floor plans, elevations, and sections—skills that are used to calculate quantities and prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQs). UCT’s instructors break it down into simple steps, so even students with no prior background in construction can grasp drawing interpretation easily.
In this part of the course, students also learn about measurement standards, such as CESMM (Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement) and local practices used in Pakistan’s public and private sector projects.
BOQ preparation is one of the most important tasks of a quantity surveyor. This module teaches students how to compile all material and labor quantities into a structured BOQ format. You'll learn how to organize items into sections (civil, electrical, finishing, etc.) and assign units, quantities, and rates to each.
UCT provides sample projects where students prepare BOQs from actual drawings. Students also learn how to format tender documents, estimate total project costs, and present their work professionally—key skills for anyone working with contractors or in a billing department.
This section is highly practical and mirrors the tasks performed in real job roles, making you job-ready from day one.
Construction projects often go over budget due to poor planning or a lack of control. This part of the course trains students on how to create a project budget and monitor it through different project stages.
You’ll understand how to create cost breakdowns, allocate funds for each construction phase, and adjust budgets in real-time using actual progress data. The course also introduces basic concepts of financial forecasting, billing schedules, and contractor claims.
By learning these techniques, you’ll be able to help organizations avoid cost overruns and increase profitability, making you a valuable asset to any construction firm.
Modern quantity surveyors rely heavily on AutoCAD and MS Excel to perform their work efficiently. UCT trains students in AutoCAD specifically for 2D construction drawing interpretation and quantity take-offs.
In Excel, students learn to create automated BOQ templates, rate analysis sheets, and progress billing reports. These tools not only increase accuracy but also save time and improve the presentation of your work.
Whether you’re working independently or in a team, these software skills are essential and widely expected by employers in both local and Gulf job markets.
Theory alone isn't enough. That’s why UCT integrates site visits into the course. Students are taken to ongoing construction projects where they can observe site operations, measurement practices, and how quantity surveying is applied in real-world scenarios.
You’ll get to see how drawings are used on-site, how BOQs are matched with physical progress, and how variations are handled. This practical exposure gives you the confidence to handle tasks at any site, whether in Pakistan or abroad.
After successful course completion, students receive a Government-Recognized Certificate issued by UCT. This certificate is valid for use across Pakistan and is accepted in foreign countries for visa or job application purposes. The course is ideal for those planning to apply for jobs in Dubai, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia, where quantity surveyor roles are in high demand.
Completing the Quantity Surveyor Course opens up a variety of career options. You can work as a junior quantity surveyor, billing engineer, estimation officer, or site supervisor with costing knowledge. Employers include private construction firms, government contractors, design consultants, and real estate developers.
This course is also suitable for freelancers who want to offer remote quantity estimation services to architects or builders using CAD and Excel. Students with this diploma can start earning within a few months, either locally or internationally.
