For many civil engineers, the first few years of a career are spent learning how construction work happens at the site.
You learn about concrete, reinforcement, masonry, excavation, finishing, subcontractors, materials and daily site activities.
But as your career develops, another side of construction becomes increasingly important:
How much work has actually been completed? How much should the contractor be paid? What quantities were used? What is the correct rate? What variations have occurred? What is the project cost?
This is where Quantity Surveying and Billing Engineering become important.
A civil engineer who understands both site execution and project quantities can take on wider responsibilities and work with contractors, clients, consultants and project management teams.
BHADANIS has developed its Level 1 and 2 Quantity Survey & Billing Engineering Program for civil engineers who want to develop practical knowledge covering estimation, quantity take-off, costing, BOQ, rate analysis, material reconciliation, billing, payment certification, claims and related construction responsibilities.
Explore the BHADANIS Level 1 & 2 Quantity Surveying and Billing Engineering Program
A construction project is not only about completing physical work.
Every activity has a quantity and a cost.
Consider a building project.
The contractor completes excavation, concrete, reinforcement, shuttering, masonry and plastering.
Someone has to measure this work.
Someone has to compare the measured quantities with the contract quantities.
Someone has to determine the applicable rates.
Someone has to check the contractor's bill.
Someone has to reconcile materials.
This is where the Quantity Surveyor and Billing Engineer become important members of the project team.
The role requires an understanding of both construction work and project commercial procedures.
The first level of the BHADANIS program is designed around the fundamentals of quantity surveying and estimation.
The listed duration is 45 days, covering building, bridges, roads and highways along with other construction categories.
The learning starts with understanding the construction industry and gradually moves toward quantity take-off, estimation, costing, labour productivity, BOQ, rate analysis and material reconciliation.
Before measuring construction work, an engineer needs to understand how that work is actually carried out.
For example, RCC construction involves several connected activities.
There is reinforcement.
There is shuttering.
There is concrete.
There is labour.
There may also be equipment, transportation and material handling.
Understanding the construction sequence makes quantity measurement much easier.
The program therefore begins with construction methodologies and identification of construction activities.
Drawing reading is one of the most important skills for a Quantity Surveyor.
Structural drawings provide information about:
Architectural drawings provide information about:
A Quantity Surveyor has to convert this drawing information into measurable quantities.
Quantity take-off is at the heart of estimation.
The BHADANIS Level 1 program covers quantity take-off for:
The objective is to understand how quantities are extracted from drawings and organized for project use.
For a civil engineer, this is a major step toward becoming comfortable with commercial construction work.
On a large project, hundreds or thousands of items may need to be measured.
Therefore, the Quantity Surveyor needs an organized method of working.
The course includes faster quantity take-off methodologies and analysis of different types of civil drawings.
This is particularly useful when working on large building and infrastructure projects where quantities can become extensive.
One interesting feature of the Level 1 program is its broad project coverage.
The syllabus includes estimation for:
This wider exposure helps engineers understand that quantity surveying principles can be applied across different construction environments.
Estimation is not performed only once.
The program covers estimation during:
The project is still being developed and quantities may change as the design develops.
The project moves toward tendering and execution, requiring more detailed cost information.
Actual quantities and completed work can be reviewed against earlier estimates.
Understanding these different stages helps engineers appreciate how project costs develop from the beginning to completion.
Quantity is only one side of the work.
The next question is:
What will that quantity cost?
The program introduces different costing approaches, including risk-based costing, parametric costing, machinery and transportation costing and scope-based cost analysis.
Costing requires an understanding of material, labour, equipment and project conditions.
A good estimator therefore needs to look at the entire activity rather than one individual material price.
Labour can have a major influence on construction cost.
Suppose two teams are performing the same activity.
One team completes a higher quantity during the working day.
The other team produces less.
The labour cost per unit of completed work will therefore be different.
The program covers:
This knowledge can help an engineer understand why actual project costs sometimes differ from initial expectations.
Construction machinery also affects project productivity.
Excavation, lifting, transportation and other activities may depend heavily on equipment output.
The Level 1 program includes machinery output analysis and machinery-related costing.
An engineer can therefore consider not only how much work needs to be completed, but also how equipment productivity affects the project.
The Bill of Quantities is an important document in construction.
The program covers BOQ quantity take-off, material identification and preparation.
A properly prepared BOQ provides a structured picture of the work involved in a project.
It can be used in tendering, procurement, billing and project cost monitoring.
Once quantities are known, rates need to be understood.
Rate analysis involves studying the components that contribute to the cost of a construction activity.
Depending on the work, these can include:
The program covers rate analysis for different types of civil works.
This is an important skill for estimators, Quantity Surveyors and Billing Engineers.
Material reconciliation connects estimated quantities with actual project consumption.
For example, reinforcement may have a theoretical quantity based on drawings.
The project team can compare this with actual material received and consumed.
If there is a significant difference, the reason needs to be understood.
The program covers material reconciliation from both contractor and client perspectives.
This helps engineers understand an important part of project cost control.
Reinforcement is a major component of RCC construction.
The program includes Bar Bending Schedule preparation for structures such as:
Understanding reinforcement quantities is particularly useful for civil engineers working in estimation, quantity surveying and billing.
After developing quantity surveying and estimation knowledge, the program moves into Billing Engineering.
The listed duration for Level 2 is 15 days.
Billing is where measured construction work is converted into payment-related documentation.
This is an important responsibility because incorrect quantities or incorrect billing can directly affect the financial side of a project.
A Billing Engineer may work for a contractor or a client.
The responsibilities can therefore differ.
On the contractor side, the engineer may prepare bills for submission.
On the client side, the engineer may review and certify quantities and payments.
Understanding both sides gives the engineer a wider view of the billing process.
Interim Payment Certificates are an important part of ongoing construction payment.
The engineer needs to understand:
The BHADANIS Level 2 program specifically includes IPC procedures from both client and contractor perspectives.
Running Account billing is a regular part of many construction projects.
The engineer needs to track completed work and prepare the bill according to the contract and measurement requirements.
The course includes RA bill preparation for client billing and subcontracting situations.
This is practical knowledge for engineers working at site offices and head offices.
Construction billing can involve tax-related requirements.
The Level 2 syllabus includes billing with GST and without GST.
Understanding how these amounts are reflected in billing documentation is useful for Billing Engineers handling project invoices.
Construction projects rarely remain exactly as originally planned.
There can be:
The program covers claim procedures, quantity variation claims, price variation claims and extra-item analysis.
This gives the engineer a better understanding of what happens when actual construction conditions differ from the original contract.
A project may involve several layers of commercial transactions.
There can be:
Client → Main Contractor → Subcontractor → Vendor
Each level may have its own bills and supporting documents.
Reconciliation helps identify differences between submitted, approved and paid amounts.
The Level 2 program includes vendor-versus-client bill reconciliation as part of the billing curriculum.
The syllabus also covers billing situations involving:
This is useful because project billing is not always limited to the main contractor.
This program is particularly relevant for:
The course page states that after Level 1, learners can apply for positions such as Junior Quantity Surveyor, Estimator, Cost Engineer, BBS Engineer and Document Controller. After Levels 1 and 2, the listed opportunities include Billing Engineer, Invoice Engineer, Junior Quantity Surveyor, Estimator and Cost Engineer roles.
These should be understood as career directions rather than guaranteed job outcomes.
Quantity surveying and billing are closely connected.
The Quantity Surveyor determines what has been constructed and how it should be measured.
The Billing Engineer uses those measurements as part of the payment process.
If an engineer understands only billing, it can be difficult to understand where the quantities originate.
If an engineer understands only quantity take-off, it can be difficult to understand how those quantities move into payment and contract administration.
Learning both gives a more complete picture.
Another useful feature of this program is its coverage beyond ordinary building projects.
The syllabus includes roads, highways and bridges.
This matters because infrastructure projects have different types of work and measurement requirements.
A civil engineer who understands both building and infrastructure quantity surveying can have a broader professional profile.
The BHADANIS program combines 45 days of Level 1 Quantity Surveying, Estimation and Costing with 15 days of Level 2 Billing Engineering.
The course is listed in Hindi, with a 365-day validity period.
The current listed price is ₹20,500, reduced from ₹30,500.
The package also includes the listed road, highway and bridge quantity surveying course, quality control and quality assurance course, and Level 1 Quantity Survey library.
