SOFTWARE APPLICATION
REFLECTIVE ESSAY
For
this module, we are to learn two QS softwares which are Buildsoft and CostX. There
are two lecturer teaching this module, which are Sr. Habizah Sheikh ilmi
and Sr. Soon Lam Tatt. We were divided into two groups so that each lecturer
is in charge of each group until a certain period which is seven weeks then
only the lecturers switch their place taking charge of the other group of
student. Basically this subject helps to build the fundamental knowledge on
preparation of quantities taking off, preparation of rate build up and
preparation of bill of quantities by using QS software like Buildsoft and CostX.
Upon successful completion of this module, I am able to distinguish the
different types of software programs available in the market and their
limitations in usage. I also learnt to be independent and get material rate and labour rate from
supplier. I also learn the method of utilizing
Cost-X and Buildsoft in doing take-off quantity and Bills of Quantity. Sr. Soon
and Sr. Habizah are very dedicated and patient in guiding us on using
these softwares during tutorials and lectures. This enhanced us further in
using these software so that we can pick -up the skills as fast as possible.
In this subject, we were given two assignment.
We start off with the group assignment first, in which we need to do some
market research on the types of software being used in Malaysia. We were asked
to compare and analyze all the information before proceed to report writing.
From this assignment, the team gain extra knowledge in understanding the
functions and limitations of other types of software.
The second assignment is no longer a group assignment. The task for this assignment is to come up with the buildup rate of every elements from Measurement 4 and generate all the rates to Bills of Quantities. This assignment provides me a chance to talk to supplier in order for me to take the verbal quotations.
