The integration of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools is essential in contemporary construction, engineering, and design industries. Despite their significance, many students remain hesitant to master platforms such as Revit, Cost X, and AutoCAD due to perceived complexity, limited motivation, and insufficient resources. This study investigates the perceptions, challenges, and strategies associated with CAD visualization tool usage among Quantity Surveying students across UiTM campuses in Shah Alam, Seri Iskandar, and Kota Samarahan. Employing a quantitative approach, 159 questionnaire responses were analysed using IBM SPSS. Findings indicate that while students acknowledge the technical and professional advantages of CAD, barriers—including steep learning curves, reduced social interaction in online learning environments, rigid software interfaces, and inadequate infrastructure—impede effective skill acquisition. Recommended strategies involve promoting systematic thinking, incremental skill development, and reflective practices. Addressing these challenges is crucial to equip students with the technical, creative, and collaborative competencies required in an increasingly digital construction industry. The study provides actionable recommendations to enhance CAD education and better prepare future Quantity Surveying professionals.
