Measurement 3

This subject is a 4 credit hour module conducted by Mr. Soon Lam Tatt. This subject takes 14 weeks to cover up all of its topics. In this subject, our class was able to understand and study on the measurement of doors, windows, roof trusses, roof finishes, roof drainage, structural steelworks and metal works. We are also able to obtain the principles of specification of writing, form of specification writing and their uses for the various trades. In the matter of projects, we were assigned to form a team to work on a group assignment, whereby a study on the doors and windows of a building were required. Our group consisted of six people namely, James, Parham, Hakim, Kelly, Bryan and I. In this project we have chosen James's apartment as the subject of our assignment because his apartment consisted of six different doors and windows. We were required to do taking offs and to prepare bills of quantities for the doors and windows available in James's unit. In addition, we also need to prepare a report and record the site measurement and dimensions. Based on the site measurement and dimensions, It has help me to understand and practice more on the preparation of measurement and bills of quantities.

Learning Outcome:

Within the completion of this subject, I was able to understand more on the items to be considered when measuring doors, windows, roof structure, roof finishes, roof drainage, structural steel works and metal works. I am also more aware of the difference in writing up the descriptions in accordance to the design of the items being taken off. This is really beneficial for me as it would help me ever so dearly in terms of stepping out of my study life, entering the construction industry in the near future.
