Details	:	In our construction industry nowadays, nearly 70% of construction professionals are suffering from work-related stress, anxiety, and depression. Responsible to handle the demanding estimating tasks within the often tight project schedule, Quantity Surveyors (QS) are believed to be more vulnerable to stress. Stress may not only affect their work performance, but also influence their health. The demand of stress management on QS is significant in the construction industry. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has proven to be effective in alleviating an individual’s sufferance to psychological and physical health via various mindfulness skills that can be conducted at anytime and anywhere, like mindful sitting and walking. Hence, the current seminar aims to manage the stress of QS through the promotion of sustainable MBSR skills.
