What is this course about?
The course will cover core areas of quantity surveying, explore
BIM and in particular the cost management of mechanical and
electrical services technology. The course includes a minimum
24-week work placement. In mechanical and electrical services
technology, the student will learn about energy management,
life cycle costing and measurement, estimating and cost
control. The student will also learn about construction
technology, construction law and contract administration as
used both in Ireland and internationally.
Why study this course?
This course is suitable for those interested in the professional
side of the construction industry. The quantity surveyor acts
within both accountancy and legal frameworks. This four-year
course offers specialisms in building information modelling
(BIM) and in the area of Mechanical and Electrical Services
Cost Management. These are areas of significant growth in the
Irish construction industry, particularly in sectors such as data
centre development, pharmaceutical, agri-food, and largescale
commercial projects. In Ireland, as well as internationally,
there is a shortage of quantity surveyors with mechanical
and electrical qualifications. This means that the successful
student will be much sought after by employers.
What can I do after this course?
Graduates will be qualified to work with contractors, subcontractors,
local authorities, government departments or as
a consultant in a private practice. Employment opportunities
will also include working in dedicated mechanical and
electrical departments of various industries such as data,
pharmaceutical, agri-food and on large-scale commercial
projects. If travel is on your agenda, then this course is ideally
suited to fulfil that ambition as it covers different aspects
of Irish and international mechanical and electrical services
technology.
Professional Accreditation
The BSc (Hons) in Quantity Surveying has been accredited
by the Society of Chartered Surveyors of Ireland (SCIS), an
affiliate of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
All graduates will have the educational qualification deemed
necessary to apply for the title of Chartered Quantity Surveyor.
