• During my internship, I gained practical exposure to the responsibilities and working methods of a Quantity Surveyor on a construction site. This experience helped me understand how theoretical concepts learned in college are applied in real construction projects. I observed the process of quantity estimation, measurement of work, preparation of quantity sheets, verification of drawings, and coordination with engineers to ensure the accuracy of executed work.
• I learned how to calculate quantities for various structural elements such as foundations, columns, beams, slabs, and reinforcement using engineering drawings and site measurements. I also gained experience in preparing quantity take-offs, maintaining measurement records, checking material consumption, and assisting in billing and documentation. Understanding the importance of cost control, material management, and accurate measurements was one of the most valuable aspects of my training.
• The internship also improved my technical and professional skills. Working with site engineers enhanced my communication, teamwork, problemsolving, and time management skills while giving me confidence in handling real-world construction activities.
