Quantity Surveyor Final Accounts and Cost Reporting

The final account settles what a project truly cost, and a poorly managed one leaves money on the table or triggers disputes months after handover. This course covers the closing commercial phase, from cost reporting during the works to agreeing variations and compiling the final account. It sharpens the reporting and settlement skills quantity surveyors need to protect the outturn cost on African building and civil projects.
