RELEVANCE OF TRAINING LEARNT AND

CONCLUSION
RELEVANCE OF TRAINING EXPERIENCE

Quantity surveying profession exists to ensure the allocation of the

construction
resources of materials, manpower, machinery, money, methods and
management with the
overriding aim of ensuring value for money spent on construction projects.
Alternatively, Quantity surveying is a professional in the construction
industry that deals with cost related issues. Relevant courses to achieve this
are usually taught in the higher institution through class room lectures and
practical courses. But, due to time constraint and absence of real life
situations these courses don’t give the complete experience needed. However,
the internship is very important so as to equip the student with the basic
practical knowledge, experience and ethics. Through the internship, I was
able to apply some of the theoretical knowledge gained during the four(4)
academic years of my course study.
 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I have been able to see the practical side of my course of
study. The experiences I gained and lessons I learned during my industrial
training period at BCL has in many ways broadened my understanding of
construction and quantity surveying practices, thereby making me a better
student of quantity surveying and ultimately groomed for the professional
future that lies ahead. Through the training I was able to attain a greater
understanding of how to; prepare material schedule, program of works,
interim valuations, bill of quantities for construction projects. As well as
use various software packages in relation to QS function, etc. I also
learned some professional ethics and how to manage relationship between
clients, consultants and contractors.
This period was indeed an avenue of improving on all theoretical
knowledge accumulated over the years in the classroom and an avenue of
learning how to put them into practical use in the industry. However, these
classroom experiences made it easy for me to promptly understand
everything being done in the industry.
