Our vision is to be the first choice provider of professional career orientated education in Quantity Surveying.
The Department of Quantity Surveying was instituted at the beginning of the 1970 academic year as part of the University of Port Elizabeth. On 1 January 2005 the University of Port Elizabeth, the Port Elizabeth Technikon and Vista University merged to form the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. There are five full-time and three part-time staff members presenting the BSc Construction Economics and BSc Hons Quantity Surveying programmes. With these dedicated staff members the Department of Building and Quantity Surveying has developed into a well established unit which maintains standards of excellence at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
We are a people centered department offering national and internationally recognised academic programmes. We deliver sought after graduates and provide innovative solutions and services to the built environment and the community.
