The course on building cost estimation has been developed based on the course ET521(D) - “Quantity surveying and Valuation” which was part of B Tech in Construction Management offered in the past by IGNOU.

Through this online course, we wish to simplify the basics of  how the cost of  building works are estimated. Once the architect prepares the preliminary drawings, the quantity surveyor calculates the cost of construction using rate and quantities. This course teaches you about this process.

The course is an unique effort to provide awareness about environmental issues from the perspective of social  sciences, technology,  education and law. It is expected that after going through the course, learners will have a comprehensive idea about the issue areas.
