Becoming a professional quantity surveyor (QS) after completing a B.Tech in Civil Engineering is a great choice, especially if you want to work in both India and the Gulf countries. As a Bhadanis Quantity Surveying Institute employee, I’ll guide you through the entire process, step by step. We'll discuss the skills, certifications, and pathways that will help you succeed, and I’ll explain how Bhadanis can play a key role in your journey.
A quantity surveyor is responsible for managing all aspects related to costs and contracts in a construction project. From estimating costs, preparing budgets, and creating Bills of Quantities (BOQs) to managing contracts and finalizing project costs, a QS ensures that the project remains financially viable.
In countries like India and the Gulf region, quantity surveyors are in high demand due to the constant growth in infrastructure projects such as high-rise buildings, roads, airports, and metro projects. Whether you want to work in Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, or any other state in India, or in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and other Gulf countries, the demand for skilled QS professionals is ever-growing.
As a civil engineering graduate, you already have a good understanding of construction methods, materials, structural design, and site management. However, becoming a professional quantity surveyor requires you to develop additional specialized skills in cost management, contract administration, and tendering.
Before jumping into quantity surveying directly, it’s important to gain practical experience working on construction sites. This could involve working as a site engineer or project engineer, managing daily activities, and getting exposure to project timelines, procurement, and material management. Practical experience helps you understand how construction projects operate, which is crucial for a QS role.
Now that you have a foundation in civil engineering and some experience, the next step is to enroll in a specialized quantity surveying course. At Bhadanis Quantity Surveying Institute, we offer structured training programs designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills required to succeed in the industry. Our courses are tailored to the specific requirements of India and Gulf countries, focusing on the following key areas:
In India, each state has its own unique construction landscape, which means the work of a quantity surveyor varies depending on where you are. Here’s a look at the demand and scope for quantity surveyors across different states of India:
Delhi NCR, including cities like Gurgaon and Noida, is home to numerous large-scale infrastructure projects, including high-rise commercial buildings, metro rail, and residential complexes. The demand for skilled QS professionals is high, especially in the metro and road construction sectors. As a quantity surveyor in Delhi, you would work on preparing detailed estimates, managing contracts, and ensuring that project budgets are adhered to.
In Maharashtra, particularly in Mumbai and Pune, the real estate and infrastructure markets are booming. As a QS, you’ll be involved in residential towers, commercial complexes, and transportation projects. You’ll need to be skilled in managing contracts and costing for high-rise buildings, roads, and rail infrastructure.
Cities like Chennai are rapidly expanding, and a quantity surveyor here is expected to handle large industrial and residential projects. Estimating, cost management, and managing contracts for both government and private sector projects are key aspects of the job in Tamil Nadu.
In Gujarat, with cities like Ahmedabad and Surat, the focus is on infrastructure projects, including smart city developments. A QS in Gujarat needs to have a good understanding of public sector contracts, BOQs, and rate analysis.
In Bangalore, the tech hub of India, real estate and infrastructure projects are always in demand. As a QS, your responsibilities would include managing contracts for both commercial and residential projects and controlling project costs from concept to completion.
Cities like Lucknow and Kanpur are experiencing rapid urbanization. The focus is on urban infrastructure, including housing schemes and highway construction. In Uttar Pradesh, a QS plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate cost estimation and contract management.
With a strong focus on eco-friendly and sustainable construction, Kerala presents a unique opportunity for QS professionals. Projects here often require life cycle costing and sustainable project budgeting, making it essential to have these skills as a QS.
The Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain, are known for large-scale infrastructure projects such as airports, stadiums, shopping malls, highways, and skyscrapers. The demand for quantity surveyors in this region is extremely high, and being certified or trained in quantity surveying makes you a sought-after professional.
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative has led to a boom in construction projects, including mega projects like NEOM and the Red Sea Project. As a quantity surveyor in Saudi Arabia, you’ll be expected to handle cost control, procurement, and contract management for these large-scale developments. Having a thorough understanding of FIDIC contracts is essential, as it is commonly used in the region. Bhadanis provides specific training modules on FIDIC contracts to help you succeed in this market.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are global hubs for real estate and construction, hosting some of the world’s tallest buildings and largest shopping malls. As a QS, you’ll work on high-end luxury projects, managing everything from BOQs to contract negotiations. Dubai also sees a lot of design changes, so managing lump sum contracts where quantities change frequently is a key skill taught in our courses at Bhadanis.
With projects like the FIFA World Cup infrastructure, Qatar has seen a surge in construction activity. Quantity surveyors here are responsible for managing costs related to stadiums, roads, and other public infrastructure. Our international QS courses at Bhadanis help you develop skills in preparing detailed cost estimates, handling tender submissions, and evaluating bids.
In Oman, the focus is on tourism and infrastructure projects, including resorts, hotels, and highways. As a QS, you’ll need to be well-versed in both cost control and value engineering to ensure that projects stay within budget while meeting quality standards.
These countries are witnessing growth in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Quantity surveyors in these regions must be able to manage projects that involve international contractors and materials sourced globally. Bhadanis’ training focuses on preparing you for these challenges by teaching you procurement and tendering processes.
