Program Overview: What is Quantity Surveying and Cost Control?
Quantity Surveying & Cost Control is Edstellar's instructor-led program for project, commercial, and construction teams who must protect margins from tender to final account. Participants cover measurement standards, estimation and bills of quantities, cost planning and budgeting, cost control with variance analysis, and contract administration with interim valuation. Six modules across 24 hours build commercial discipline that shows up in project margins.
Training works through guided commercial exercises on realistic project scenarios. Participants take off quantities, build estimates and budgets, track variances against change orders, and administer contracts with the instructor's guidance. Every exercise ends with direct feedback on measurement accuracy and commercial judgment. The program closes with an end-to-end project cost control simulation.
Construction projects bleed money quietly: quantities guessed at tender, variations unpriced, and cost reports that arrive too late to act on. This program teaches teams to measure precisely, budget honestly, and control costs while the work is happening. Each technique is practiced hands-on, so the discipline holds up on live projects under real commercial pressure.
The capstone is an end-to-end project cost control simulation: a live project taken from tender estimate through budget, monthly valuations, change orders, and variance analysis to final account. Participants defend their numbers, explain every variance, and return with a cost control playbook their team can apply to the next project immediately.
Over 24 instructor-led hours, participants work through the full cost lifecycle: measurement standards, estimation, cost planning, cost control, contract administration, and final accounts. The program blends concise concept delivery with hands-on labs built on realistic project scenarios, including bills of quantities, variance investigations, and a capstone cost control simulation. Content adapts to your team's contracts and cost context, and cohorts practice the workflows they own.
