General quantity surveying training stops where building services begin. Every lesson here is about the mechanical, electrical and public health packages — the ones carrying the risk and the margin.
Specialist estimating and commercial training for the people pricing mechanical, electrical and public health work in the UK. Worked take-offs with real quantities, the mistakes that cost money named specifically, and the commercial judgement that normally takes years on site to pick up.
Most quantity surveying training treats building services as a footnote — a chapter at the back of a general measurement text. These courses do the opposite. Mechanical, electrical and public health, from the first read of the drawings through to the number you submit.

Real take-offs with real quantities. One drainage stack works out at 62 fittings against 22 metres of pipe, with around half the labour sitting in the fittings — which is exactly why measuring drainage by the metre under-prices it. Nothing is quoted from an unsourced table and left for you to trust.
Secondary returns left out. Fittings assumed rather than counted. Second fix priced as one continuous visit when it is really four. Each course names the specific errors and shows what each one does to your number.
