Department of Engineering Cost Estimation‌

The Construction Cost Engineering programme is designed to cultivate professionals capable of managing and controlling project economics throughout the construction lifecycle. The curriculum integrates technical engineering knowledge with economic management and legal frameworks to deliver comprehensive expertise in cost management.

The programme's course development is structured around three pillars. Fundamental courses include construction economics, engineering mathematics, and architectural drawing, establishing essential technical foundations. Core professional courses comprise quantity surveying, engineering pricing, cost planning and control, construction project management, and contract administration. Advanced applications incorporate BIM-based quantity calculation, intelligent estimation technologies, and data-driven cost analytics, reflecting industry digitalization trends. The curriculum emphasizes practical skills through measurement practicums, estimating software training, and case-based project exercises.

Educational objectives aim to develop competencies in four key dimensions. Technically, graduates should master engineering quantification and cost management methodologies. Managerially, they must demonstrate proficiency in project economic analysis and value engineering. Legally, students develop an understanding of construction contracts and regulatory frameworks. Professionally, the programme cultivates ethical standards and analytical capabilities for complex cost engineering challenges. Graduates are prepared to provide specialized expertise in cost consultation, project valuation, and financial control across infrastructure, building, and real estate development sectors.
