Quantity Surveying & Estimation for Road Works with AutoCAD

Master practical Quantity Surveying and Cost Estimation for Road, Highway and Infrastructure Projects using real-world measurement techniques, AutoCAD and Excel.

This course is designed for quantity surveyors, civil engineers, estimators and construction professionals who want to understand how road and infrastructure quantities are measured, calculated and converted into practical estimates and BOQs.

Instead of focusing only on theory, we work through practical quantity surveying and estimation procedures used on infrastructure projects.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Perform quantity takeoff for road and highway works

• Read and interpret road and infrastructure drawings

• Measure earthworks, excavation and filling quantities

• Calculate road pavement quantities

• Prepare quantities for different road layers

• Measure concrete and structural elements

• Prepare Bar Bending Schedules (BBS)

• Understand underground services and utility works

• Prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQ)

• Carry out rate analysis for construction activities

• Develop cost estimates using practical project quantities

• Use AutoCAD to assist with measurement and quantity takeoff

• Use Microsoft Excel for quantity calculations, BOQs and estimation

Practical Road & Infrastructure Quantity Surveying

The course takes you through the quantity surveying process from understanding drawings to producing measurable quantities and cost information.

You will learn how a quantity surveyor approaches road works systematically rather than simply extracting dimensions from drawings.

Topics include:

• Road and highway quantity takeoff

• Earthworks and excavation

• Pavement and road layers

• Tunnels and infrastructure works

• Underground services

• Concrete quantities

• Reinforcement measurement and BBS

• BOQ preparation

• Rate analysis

• Cost estimation

• AutoCAD measurement

• Excel-based quantity calculations

Learn With AutoCAD & Excel

AutoCAD and Excel are important tools for infrastructure quantity surveyors.

Throughout the course, you will see how drawings can be interpreted and measured using AutoCAD, and how the resulting quantities can be organised, calculated and presented using Excel.

This helps connect drawing interpretation, quantity takeoff and cost estimation into one practical workflow.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is suitable for:

• Quantity Surveyors

• Civil Engineers

• Construction Estimators

• Cost Engineers

• Site Engineers

• QS and Civil Engineering students

• Graduates preparing for construction industry roles

• Construction professionals moving into quantity surveying or estimation

Why Take This Course?

Road and infrastructure quantity surveying requires more than knowing measurement formulas. You need to understand drawings, construction sequences, measurement principles and how quantities eventually become BOQ and cost information.

This course brings these skills together through a practical, project-focused approach.

If you want to strengthen your skills in Road Works Quantity Surveying, Quantity Takeoff, BOQ Preparation, Rate Analysis, BBS, AutoCAD and Excel-based Cost Estimation, this course will provide a structured path from drawings to quantities and estimates
