About Us
Welcome to the department of QUANTITY SURVEYING
History of The Department of Quantity Surveying
The B.Sc. Quantity Surveying programme was introduced in 1977 under the then Department of Environmental Planning, Design and Management leading to the establishment of a full-fledged Department of Quantity Surveying in 1981. The philosophy of the programme is to produce graduates with theoretical base and practical skills to effectively plan, monitor and control project funds with emphasis on accountability, transparency and probity in developmental projects. The Department has since its establishment offered undergraduate programmes in Quantity Surveying. Over the years, the Department has reviewed its programmes in response not only to current practice and demands of the construction industry but also to anticipated future trends in quantity surveying practice and theory.
The Department has trained thousands of Nigerians and non-Nigerians who are occupying top positions in private practice, Government and academics all over the world. One of our products is a world-renowned professor in England and another holds a top post in the Engineering Services Department of the UN Atomic Agency in Vienna. Austria. The Department has also made tremendous contributions as one of the oldest departments of Quantity Surveying in Nigeria in providing leadership to other institutions offering quantity surveying programmes. Brilliant performances of our graduates in professional exams in and outside Nigeria attest to the quality of our programmes.
The Department is looking for brilliant young men and women who have the ability and zeal to go through training in a wide range of skills including sustainable construction, law, accounting, estimating, construction procurement, project management, risk and value management and ICT to form the vanguard of the next generation of Quantity Surveyors required in the construction industry, the banks/other financial institutions, the oil and gas industry, the armed forces/police, the public service and the academia of the future.
