Buildings Estimation and Costing

Skill Assessment → Skill Gap Training → Model Projects → Certification

Pertecnica Engineering trains civil engineering students and fresh graduates to become job-ready in quantity surveying, estimation, costing, and BOQ preparation.
Industries need engineers who can prepare accurate quantities, understand drawings, calculate rates, and prepare cost estimates—not just memorize theory.
Our assessment-based training makes you industry fit.

Who Can Join

  • Civil Engineering students (Diploma / B.Tech / M.Tech)
