Course content

7 sections • 18 lectures • 2h 37m total length

Introduction14:05
Introduction to construction drawings and their importance.
How to read scales, symbols, and abbreviations.
Understanding material specifications and structural notes.
Introduction ( Drawing reading)8:50
Basics of plan, elevation, and section views.
How to identify structural, architectural, and services drawings.
Reading dimensions, levels, and grid lines.
Understanding drawing legends and key references.
Practical tips for connecting drawings to site execution and estimation work.

Surface dressing10:22
Surface dressing is one of the most common and essential preliminary items in building construction. It involves the removal of vegetation, shrubs, and topsoil, as well as leveling and dressing the natural ground to the required depth before starting foundation or flooring works. Although simple in appearance, surface dressing plays a key role in preparing a stable base for all subsequent construction activities and is always included as a separate item in building estimates and BOQs.

In this lecture, you will learn how to calculate the Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) for Raft Foundation in a G+11 high-rise building project.
Raft Bar bending schedule ( BBS ) part 27:56

Pedestal Concrete Calculation11:55
In this lecture, students will learn how to calculate the concrete quantity for pedestals using drawing dimensions and standard formulas applied in building estimation.
Pedestal shuttering area3:18
In this lecture, students will learn to calculate the shuttering area of pedestals by applying standard formulas and measurements from structural drawings for accurate estimation work.
Column Concrete & Shuttering Calculation up to Plinth Level10:20
In this lecture, you will learn how to calculate the quantity of concrete and shuttering area for columns constructed from the pedestal top up to the plinth level. The session covers step-by-step estimation methods, measurement techniques, and practical site examples to ensure accurate quantity surveying for column works in high-rise projects.
Concrete & Shuttering Calculation for Ground and First Floor7:42
In this lecture, we will perform a comprehensive quantity takeoff for the ground and first floor of a multistorey structure, covering both concrete volume estimation and shuttering (formwork) area calculation in detail.
Column Concrete & Shuttering Area Calculation
Column & shuttering 2nd to 11th floor6:27
TIE BEAM & FLOOR BEAM11:57
In this lecture, you'll learn the complete method to calculate concrete volume and shuttering area for tie beams and floor beams in a high-rise building. You'll understand how to take dimensions from drawings, apply measurement formulas, and prepare accurate BOQ data. This session focuses purely on practical quantity calculation to improve your estimation skills.

Requirements

Basic understanding of civil engineering or construction concepts (helpful but not mandatory).
Familiarity with drawings (architectural/structural) is an advantage, but all steps will be explained
Basic knowledge of Excel (for BOQ & estimation work)
Enthusiasm to learn practical, real-life applications of Quantity Surveying.

Description

Quantity Surveying is one of the most in-demand skills in the construction industry, and this course is designed to give you complete practical training with a real G+11 multistory building project. Unlike other courses that focus only on theory, here you will learn by doing- step by step, from drawings to BOQ, estimation, and billing.

We begin with the fundamentals of Quantity Surveying, Estimation, and Costing in high-rise buildings. You will learn how to read architectural and structural drawings, extract quantities, and calculate materials required for each stage of construction including earthwork, foundations, columns, beams, slabs, walls, plaster, flooring, and finishing works.

The course also covers Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) preparation with real reinforcement examples, and Rate Analysis for major construction items such as RCC, steel, masonry, plaster, and finishing. You will gain hands-on skills to prepare a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) in Excel, perform cost estimation, and manage tendering, contracts, and billing

processes.

In addition, you will learn the professional methods of cost control, valuation, and variation orders used in real projects. The entire course is structured around a case study of a G+11 multistory building, ensuring that every concept is applied practically.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently prepare estimates, BBS, BOQ, rate analysis, and final billing for multistory projects-skills that make you job-ready for roles such as Quantity Surveyor, Billing Engineer, or Cost Estimator in the construction industry.

This course is ideal for civil engineering students, fresh graduates, site engineers, and professionals who want to upgrade their knowledge with real project-based training.

Who this course is for:

Civil Engineering students who want to gain practical knowledge beyond theory.
Quantity Surveying students looking for real project-based training.
Anyone interested in learning practical quantity surveying through a G+11 multistory building case study.
Construction professionals aiming to work as Quantity Surveyors, Estimators, or Billing Engineers in high-rise projects.
Site Engineers & Junior Engineers who want to upgrade their skills in estimation, BBS, BOQ, and cost control.
Fresh graduates preparing for jobs in construction, estimation, and billing.
