Quantity surveying is the professional practice of measuring, pricing, and managing the costs of construction projects — from the earliest cost plan through to final payment. A quantity surveyor produces the Bill of Quantities, prepares cost estimates, manages interim payment certificates, and handles variations and final accounts across the full project lifecycle. In Dubai, quantity surveyors work across every sector of the construction market — residential villa developments, commercial towers, hospitality projects, and government infrastructure — for contractors, consultancies, and developers including Emaar, Nakheel, Aldar, DEWA, and RTA. Quantity surveying training at Orbit equips professionals to measure, cost, and document construction projects to UAE industry standard using NRM2, POMI, PlanSwift, and AutoCAD Quantity Takeoff.
Dubai’s construction market was valued at USD 42.75 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 52.66 billion by 2030, according to Mordor Intelligence — fuelled by the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, the AED 39 billion infrastructure budget allocated by Dubai Government for 2025, and a record AED 917 billion in real estate transactions recorded across the emirate in 2025 alone.
With 726 active construction projects and over 270,000 property transactions last year, the demand for Quantity Surveyors who can prepare accurate BOQs, manage tender packages, and control project costs is structural, not cyclical.
According to Maxim Recruitment’s Dubai QS listings, mid-level Quantity Surveyors earn AED 25,000–30,000 per month in Dubai’s cost consultancy sector, with Senior QS roles commanding up to AED 45,000 per month — all tax-free.
This quantity surveying training course teaches you to measure and price a real construction project from scratch. You will prepare a full BOQ for a G+4 residential villa in Dubai — covering substructure concrete and formwork, superstructure brickwork and structural frame, architectural finishes including tiling and plastering, and MEP rough quantities — using NRM2 measurement rules and PlanSwift digital takeoff software.
Sessions run in 2-hour blocks across the full 30–40 hour programme. You will also produce an interim payment certificate, price a variation order, and draft a final account for a commercial fit-out project — giving you the pre-contract and post-contract skills that Dubai contracting firms and consultancies hire for.
Every module uses actual UAE project drawings as the base for measurement practice.
This quantity surveying course is open to anyone working in or entering the construction sector — no prior QS experience is required.
Civil engineering and architecture graduates who want a practical route into commercial and cost management roles, draftsmen and site engineers looking to move from technical to commercial functions, and professionals already working in billing, procurement, or administration who want a structured QS qualification will all find this course directly applicable.
Working professionals can attend batch sessions scheduled around office hours; those with active tendering deadlines can opt for one-to-one training and complete the course in half the time.
The course is equally suited to professionals from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and other countries who are building their UAE construction credentials before relocating or while working in the region.

According to Maxim Recruitment’s Dubai QS market data (2025), Senior QS professionals with RICS accreditation command up to AED 45,000 per month at leading cost consultancies working on Dubai’s infrastructure pipeline.
Within 3–5 years of entering the profession, most certified QS professionals in Dubai move from junior measurement roles into full project commercial management.
Mukesh Raiya, trainer at Orbit Training Centre with 11 years of UAE training experience, has trained over 1,000 professionals across AutoCAD, Revit, STAAD Pro, PlanSwift, and structural design for major UAE corporate clients and construction companies.
“A Quantity Surveyor who can produce a clean BOQ from a set of drawings — measured correctly, structured properly, and priced realistically — is the person every contractor and consultancy in Dubai wants on their team,” Raiya explains. “This course teaches exactly that, on actual project drawings, not simplified classroom examples.”
The free demo session at Orbit includes a live BOQ preparation walkthrough — taking a simple foundation drawing and measuring reinforcement, concrete, and formwork quantities from scratch — plus a trainer Q&A covering your specific career goals and a hands-on exercise using PlanSwift. This gives you a direct experience of the workflow before committing to the full course.
One-to-one training at Orbit means the course is built around your trade and project focus. A MEP billing engineer, for example, works through mechanical and electrical measurement methodology and payment certification workflows first, then adds pre-contract tendering skills in later sessions.
Post-training support at Orbit includes 30-day access to all course materials, direct trainer queries for ongoing measurement and pricing questions, and guidance on RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) requirements for professionals pursuing chartered status. All Orbit certifications are KHDA-aligned and recognized by contracting firms, consultancies, and developers across the UAE.

No prior QS experience is required to join. The Orbit Quantity Surveying course in Dubai starts from construction drawing reading and BOQ fundamentals, making it suitable for civil engineering graduates, site engineers, draftsmen, and billing staff entering the QS field. Professionals already working in site, procurement, or administration will find the course structured to build on their existing construction knowledge rather than assume none.
Dubai-based quantity surveyors primarily use PlanSwift for digital quantity takeoff from PDF drawings, Microsoft Excel for BOQ preparation and cost planning, and AutoCAD for measurement from technical drawings. The Orbit QS course covers all three tools in practical sessions using actual UAE project drawings. CostX is introduced as an advanced takeoff tool, and basic familiarity with Primavera P6 for project scheduling is referenced in the contract management modules.
