Welcome to Quantity Surveying and Construction Procurement

Assalamualaikum and dear all,

This blog compliments teaching and learning for courses that I facilitate at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The contents serve to further 'connect' students to the 'real world' (quantity surveying, construction procurement and others). In trying to provide current information to students, I will be quoting or reproducing works of others and for this I am grateful. I will indicate clearly the source(s). I hope I will not offend anyone; and many will frequent this blog and benefit from its contents.

Thank you and wassalam.

A QS with a Masters / PhD would enjoy better career prospects

Salam and dear all, Preece & Khairuddin (IIUM, March, 2009) conducted a simple questionnaire survey among Malaysian Quantity Surveyors (N=124). The results of the survey, in terms of benefits of a post-graduate degree related to quantity surveying are (in order of importance):
  1. Develop career and gain promotion
  2. Use knowledge to solve more complex problems
  3. Enhance employment prospects
  4. Client will be impressed with the higher qualification(s)
  5. Increase salary
  6. Increase in (quantity surveying) productivity

Wassalam.
