A Welcome Message

from Head of Department

The Quantity Surveying discipline is designed to properly equip students with the right knowledge on the impacts of economic, technological and social considerations on project initiation and development, and effective cost management of infrastructural and capital projects.

The FUTO Quantity Surveying is recognized as one of the leading academic departments of its kind in the country. We offer degrees that are accredited nationally National University Commission (NUC) and Quantity Surveyors Registration Board of Nigeria (QSRBN). Our undergraduate degree programmes have strong core courses which are supplemented by service courses. This mix provides our students with an integrated educational experience, training them to be fully numerate and computer literate thereby providing skills that allow them to compete effectively in the marketplace for a wide variety of professions.

The staff in the department are active both in terms of research and in community involvement and enjoy strong industry collaborative training links.

Mission

The mission of the department is to provide a conducive environment for teaching, learning and research in project procurement and cost management, liaising with like minds and institutions at home and diaspora in producing professionals who will be equipped with the necessary tools to collect, analyze, model, present and advise on project cost information.

History of the Department

The history of the department is traced to the evolution of the School of Environmental Sciences (SOES) comprising of the departments of Architecture, Building Technology, Environmental Management, Quantity Surveying, Surveying and Geo-informatics and Urban and Regional Planning. The department was approved by the Senate of the Federal University of Technology Owerri at its meeting on August 3, 2006. This decision was conveyed to the National Universities Commission (NUC) Executive Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie for approval. Thus, the Department of Quantity Surveying became one of the proposed departments that gained approval from NUC. The Quantity Department is fully accredited by the National University Commission (NUC) and professionally, the Quantity Surveyors Registration Board of Nigeria.
