Diploma in Technologie de l'estimation et de l'évaluation en bâtiment is a diploma in Quantity Surveying programme taught at Cégep André Laurendeau in Montréal, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,610 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Technologie de l'estimation et de l'évaluation en bâtiment is a technical DEC (221.D0) at Cégep André-Laurendeau that combines two specializations: construction cost estimating and real-estate appraisal. In estimating, students learn to determine the cost of construction projects at different phases, prepare preliminary, final, and tender specifications, interpret plans and technical documents, choose and apply estimating methods, and analyze tender calls while accounting for applicable regulations. In appraisal, students learn to assess the value of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional properties, weigh how laws and regulations affect a property's value, judge material quality and a building's age, and apply recognized appraisal methods; both streams use specialized software such as Revit, On-Screen Takeoff, and PlanSwift. The program is offered in an alternance travail-études format with a credited placement in the final session, and the page describes it as a DEC-portable program requiring students to have their own laptop; graduates who complete both specializations can earn two diplomas. Graduates may join the Ordre des technologues professionnels du Québec and work for real-estate appraisal firms, construction contractors, engineering and architecture firms, financial institutions, insurance firms, and municipalities, with pathways to university programs in construction engineering, building engineering, business administration, or urban studies. It suits students interested in the financial and regulatory side of the construction and property sectors.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Prerequisites (préalables), exactly as published on the program's own page: DES + CST 4e, or DES + Mathématiques 416. Safety boots are required from the first session, and the program is DEC-portable, so students must have their own personal computer. No minimum grade, interview, portfolio, or language test beyond the general Quebec-college process is stated on the program page. Admission follows the college's general process: apply online through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca, which handles admission for every Montreal-area Cégep, with the college making the final decision. First-round deadlines are 1 March for Fall (applications open mid-January) and 1 November for Winter (applications open mid-September); where more qualified applicants apply than there are seats, the Cote R (R-score), based on cumulative average, ministerial-exam results and program prerequisites, ranks candidates.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: Fall 2027 entry opens mid-January 2027 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 (SRAM: 15 September 2026) with a deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also use SRAM: the Fall 2027 deadline is 14 March 2027; the Winter 2027 international window already closed 31 May 2026, so the live one is Winter 2028 entry, closing 31 May 2027. Only a handful of technical programmes (Soins infirmiers, Techniques d'éducation à l'enfance, Techniques de travail social, Gestion des opérations et de la chaîne logistique, and one more) admit international students. Admission is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
