Publication 71 - FIG Guidance on Professional Competencies - FIG
Guide
Publication 71 has been written by FIG Commision 10. Main author is
Chair of Commission 10 (2015-2018) SeeLian Ong.
The construction industry is estimated to grow rapidly over the
coming years. The role of Quantity Surveyors, or Cost Engineers or
Construction Economists is becoming important to ensure that the project
cost are measured and monitored professionally to ensure value for money
for the stakeholders. It is with this in mind that FIG Commission 10
has developed and publish this Guidance for Professional Competencies
for Quantity Surveyors / Cost Engineers / Construction Economists. It is
the object of the Guidance to help us to train these professionals so
that they have the right competencies to undertake the tasks given to
them. The Guidance can also be used by institutions of higher learning
to develop programme or courses at both undergraduate and post-graduate
levels.
