Quantity surveying is an important skill for architects, civil engineers, interior designers and construction professionals who are involved in building projects. Understanding how to read drawings, calculate quantities, prepare BOQs and estimate project costs can help professionals make better decisions throughout the construction process.
For architects in particular, having a strong understanding of quantity surveying can create a valuable connection between design and construction. A design is not only about how a building looks. It also has to be understood in terms of quantities, materials, execution and cost.
The FOR ARCHITECTS QUANTITY SURVEYING COURSE by BHADANIS is designed to help civil engineers, architects, interior designers and quantity surveying professionals develop practical building estimation and quantity measurement skills. The course covers building estimation, manual calculations, Excel-based calculations, drawing interpretation, BOQ preparation, material calculations and several major building components.
Architects are involved in the development of building designs from the early stages of a project. Understanding quantities and construction costs can help them make more informed decisions.
Quantity surveying knowledge can help architects understand:
This knowledge can also improve communication between architects, engineers, contractors and quantity surveyors.
A building estimate starts with understanding the project drawings and identifying the different construction elements.
The course begins with building estimation fundamentals and progresses through individual components of a building.
The curriculum covers calculations for foundations, columns, beams, slabs, retaining walls, excavation, backfilling, stairs, masonry, plastering, flooring, painting, doors, windows and false ceilings.
This provides learners with a broad understanding of how quantities are developed across a building project.
Accurate quantity surveying begins with the ability to understand drawings.
Professionals need to identify dimensions, levels, structural elements and architectural details before starting quantity calculations.
The course focuses on understanding drawings and using drawing information for building estimation. This is particularly useful for professionals who want to strengthen the connection between design information and quantity measurement.
Foundations form the starting point of many building quantity calculations.
The course covers footing calculations and related foundation components, helping learners understand how quantities can be developed from project information.
Understanding foundation quantities is important because errors at this stage can affect concrete, reinforcement and other material requirements.
Structural elements form a major part of building construction.
The course includes calculations for:
Learning these calculations helps professionals understand how structural drawings can be converted into measurable quantities.
The curriculum also includes retaining wall calculations and sump tank calculations.
These elements require careful consideration because their dimensions and construction requirements can differ considerably from standard building components.
The course covers both manual and Excel-based calculations for selected items, helping learners understand different approaches to quantity calculation.
Earthwork is another important part of building estimation.
Excavation quantities need to be calculated based on the required dimensions and construction conditions. Backfilling quantities then need to be considered separately.
Understanding these calculations helps professionals develop a more complete estimate for the early stages of construction.
Quantity surveying also involves understanding material requirements.
The course includes calculations related to cement, sand and aggregates, as well as aggregate truck calculations.
This helps professionals connect measured construction quantities with the materials required for execution.
A BOQ provides a structured breakdown of construction work.
Professionals need to understand how individual work items are identified and converted into measurable quantities.
The course includes a dedicated BOQ-making session, helping learners understand the role of BOQ preparation within the overall estimation process.
Building estimation continues beyond structural works.
Brickwork and plastering quantities need to be measured carefully based on the dimensions and surfaces involved.
The course covers brickwork and plastering calculations, giving learners a broader understanding of quantity measurement for architectural and finishing works.
Staircases contain several components, including steps and landings.
The course includes staircase calculations covering steps and landing quantities.
Understanding these calculations is useful for professionals involved in building estimation because staircase quantities can be easily overlooked or incorrectly measured.
Flooring quantities are generally based on the area of the relevant surfaces, while floor mortar requires separate consideration.
The course includes flooring calculations and floor mortar calculations so learners can understand how these items are measured within a building estimate.
Finishing works contribute significantly to the overall building cost.
The course covers:
These subjects help professionals develop a complete understanding of building estimation beyond the structural components.
Doors and windows need to be measured according to their sizes, quantities and respective project requirements.
The course includes door and window calculations as part of the building estimation curriculum.
This helps learners understand how openings and architectural elements are incorporated into the overall quantity calculation.
False ceiling work is another finishing component that needs to be included when preparing a complete building estimate.
The course includes false ceiling calculation, helping professionals understand how this work can be incorporated into the overall quantity assessment.
The course includes both manual calculation and Excel-based quantity surveying approaches.
Manual calculation helps professionals understand the logic behind quantity measurement, while Excel-based calculation can help organise larger amounts of project information.
Learning both approaches can help professionals understand the calculation process rather than simply relying on final figures.
The course also introduces bar bending schedule concepts from basic to advanced levels.
Understanding reinforcement quantities is valuable for professionals involved in structural estimation because reinforcement can represent a significant component of the project's construction cost.
The course is designed for:
It can also be useful for professionals who want to strengthen their practical understanding of building quantities and cost estimation.
Every construction professional has a different journey.
Some people start with strong opportunities, while others go through years of struggle, learning and hard work before reaching the career position they want.
What matters is continuing to improve.
BHADANIS understands your struggle because every successful career begins with the courage to keep going.
The FOR ARCHITECTS QUANTITY SURVEYING COURSE includes 31 sessions with more than 12 hours of learning, covering building estimation from foundations and structural elements through BOQ preparation and finishing works.
The course is designed to help professionals develop a stronger understanding of building quantity surveying and estimation through a structured learning journey.
Your struggle today can become the knowledge and confidence that shape your career tomorrow. Keep learning, keep growing and keep moving forward with BHADANIS.
