Education & Training from QSi

Introduction

Nelson Mandela said “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world”. At Quantity Surveyors International we fully endorse this philosophy. It’s not about where you currently stand in your personal education journey ... it’s about where you will be in the future and how QSi can support you to reach your goals. Whether it’s a route to professional body membership, updating your annual CPD or training to reach the next level on your career path, QSi, in partnership with other organisations, is here to help.

Precision in Practice: Securing Commercial Integrity with Human-Led Automation2 April 2026 0800-0900 UK timeFor Quantity Surveyors and Cost Managers, safeguarding Capital expenditure (Capex) and mitigating risk are paramount. Yet traditional manual cost assurance of massive data volumes against complex contracts introduces unseen liabilities and operational fatigue. Diagnose When commercial teams manually process large datasets or rely on generic digital inputs to draft early warnings, cost reports, or variations, they risk bypassing critical governance. This systemic dysfunction threatens the highly sensitive client-consultant relationship. Misaligned language or missed legal or contractual nuances rapidly degrade trust and expose you to severe commercial risk. Design We resolve this by architecting bespoke operational structures, integrating policy, tone of voice, and branding guidance, along with our Automated Cost Assurance (APA) tools directly into your workflows. We evaluate your unique corporate policies and embed the rigorous guard rails of specific contract forms, such as NEC4 or JCT, into your digital frameworks. Our APA tools seamlessly and consistently process vast volumes of cost data against these complex contractual rules. Imagine being able to fully audit 100% of 100,000 cost lines in minutes on the assessment day, not spending weeks doing a sample assessment. Crucially, we design these systems to keep the human-in-the-loop. By eliminating the administrative clutter, we empower your professionals to apply their expertise strictly to critical, high-value decision-making and strategic client advisory. Deliver We can embed these high-integrity architectures into your business-as-usual operations. Your teams are equipped to produce precise, compliant, and authoritative commercial outputs at unprecedented pace. By eliminating compliance blind spots, protecting delicate client relationships, and augmenting human intelligence with targeted automation, we connect operational productivity directly to measurable commercial ROI. Optimise your resources and secure your commercial future.Link

3D Virtual Tours & 360 Imaging for AEC Tendering, Tracking Progress & Visual CommunicationThursday, 4 September 2025From saving carbon through 40% fewer site visits, to increasing quotation accuracy through better informed decision making & fewer assumptions, the benefits of visualisation workflows stack up rapidly. These include measurable outcomes like lowering carbon use - which is a reportable benefit on a project - as well as improving safety through visual communication and tagged hazard briefings. When data sets are kept current, teams can also track and verify progress more effectively on AEC projects.  Advances in mobile device technology mean that access to this data can now be through most consumer phones we carry every day, and camera technology advancements have lowered the price point of equipment. Together these changes have democratised access to 3D data and made investigating the return on investment a worthwhile endeavour. The aim for this First Thursday talk is to demonstrate examples, workflows and technologies that can easily be leveraged on projects, and how these tools could potentially be shared among a project team to maximise their impact and benefits.
