MEASUREMENT 4

Measurement 4 is lectured by Sr. Loo. He is always stressed on the importance of using SMM2 during lectures and explained the clauses that need to be followed during measurement in preparing us to do taking off and bills of Quantity correctly in the future. This lessons covered more on external works such as sewerage pipe, drainage system, bored piling and road. Through the lesson, I have a greater understanding of constructing the external elements like culvert, drain and sump. Now, I am able to put theories we have learnt from Construction Technology to the taking off practice.

Just like the other module, we are also having two group assignment for this module, which one of the assignment is to measure all the element of a bungalow at actual quantification while preparing a full set of tender document, while the second assignment is the Elemental Cost Analysis (ECA) workshop.

ASSIGNMENT 1

In this assignment, students are required to form a group which comprises of six members in a group in order to complete this assignment. For the measurement part, my task is to measure and prepare the BQ for doors and windows, internal ceiling finishes. Sr. Loo was kind enough to check our progress of our measurement works every day and in the same time we can ask questions regarding our measurement and he was willing to help us out every time we ask him At the end of this assignment, I am able to enhance my problem solving skills as well as teamwork and leadership.

ASSIGNMENT 2

One of the highlight for this semester us second assignment which is ECA Workshop. All students are divided into specific groups and attended a week of ECA Workshop. It wasn’t an easy for all of us at the first stage since we are not familiar with this. I am glad that we managed to get help from seniors as well as lecturers in completing this assignment. At the end of this assignment, I am able to enhance my time management skills since I have to finish the given work within a short time.
