As part of IIBT Campus’s commitment to providing hands-on learning experiences, our first field visit took us to Batticaloa, located in the eastern region of Sri Lanka. This visit was a fantastic opportunity for our quantity surveying students to witness the practical side of construction.

We explored the ongoing construction of a library building at the Batik Club, a project that serves as a key community development. Throughout the visit, the construction workers and the lead quantity surveyor in charge of the project played a crucial role in guiding us through the site, offering valuable insights into the building’s progress and the real-world application of surveying practices. Our lecturers also played an important role, helping students get closer to the practical aspects of quantity surveying. Their guidance ensured the students fully understood the processes involved in construction management.

In addition, refreshments were provided to the students, allowing everyone to recharge and enjoy a brief break during the visit. The students were very engaged, excited to explore the real-time experiences and gain a deeper understanding of how things work in the field of quantity surveying. The field visit concluded with a sense of fulfillment and fun, leaving everyone eager for future learning opportunities.
