Quantity Surveyors are responsible for ensuring that building projects meet good legal and quality standards and for making sure that clients get their money's worth by carefully monitoring a construction project from the initial design stages through to the building's completion and sometimes even the costs incurred through maintenance, when the building is up and running. Quantity Surveyors work on a range of projects including residential homes, industrial sites, commercial development and transport networks, ensuring the projects meet the required legal and quality standards. Newly qualified quantity surveyors in UK could expect to earn between £18,000 to £20,000 a year equivalent to 1.5 to 2 million a year in Sri Lankan currency. With chartered status and significant experience, this can rise to £45,000 with senior surveyors earning as much as £80,000.

To be precise BCAS is the pioneer to have introduced the BTEC HND qualification in quantity surveying in Sri Lanka for the first time. BTEC Certificate is awarded by EDEXEL at BCAS and they have been regularly monitoring our UK standard performance from the time BCAS were conducting the quantity surveying courses. Another unique thing about BCAS is EDEXEL's highest regard for our college with the award of the "Best Center" status in Sri Lanka for BCAS. As such they inspect BCAS only once a year whereas all other course providers are inspected twice a year. This fact alone is testimony to our privileged rank in the world of international education.
BCAS is the only institution having a full time faculty with regular teaching - learning interactivity offering our students with continuous learning support unlike other organizations depending on part time tutors. BCAS also happens to be an exclusive seat of learning where our student is considered as fortunate recipients of the genuine quantity surveying credentials from EDEXEL - UK. BCAS is not only student centered but student welfare minded, because it has a scheme to help students complete their Higher National Diploma in just 18 months and progress to the Wolver Hampton University in UK and finish the One Year TOP Up Degree with 4000GBP as discount from the regular course fee.. This measure has immeasurably helped BCAS students in saving prohibitive UK tuition and living expenses and also being able to avert a loss of career crisis for one year for the continuity of education.
