Building Services and Civil Engineering Quantities

• Acknowledgement

I would like to give a special thank you shout out to Mr Simon and Ms Laura in helping and guiding me through Building Services and Civil Engineering Quantities module, which is a continuation for the measurement subject whereby focus are more on the area of services such as cold water supply, electrical distribution, train railways, and etc . She has given us this opportunity to produce the research proposal and literature review which is related to my chosen topic. She has assisted us by giving us information on how to proceed in order to elaborate and complete the research proposal and literature review within the the course of this subject.

• Module Teaching Objectives

After completion of this module, I understand how to:

1. To familiarize with the nature of M&E and C&S engineering works.
2. The ability to locate, extract and analyse data from multiple sources including drawn information.
3. The ability to question standard practice and to apply professional judgement on making recommendation and solving problems for practices in M&E and C&S engineering works.

• Assignments

The assignment was conducted in a form of a test where there were two parts given. The first part of the test were to complete an earthwork filling work within the given time. The second part of the test was an individual work whereby the usage of the Malaysian Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (MYCESMM) was vital in solving the questions given.

• Reflection

After completing this syllabus, I am able to do measurements properly and accurately for most of the M&E and C&S engineering works such as electrical work, cold water plumbing, railways, earthworks and so on. I was also able to obtain the knowledge in putting what i learn into practice, locate, ext rate, synthesis and utilize information effectively. I had also acquire teamwork skills in doing the first test as well which was very vital when discussing in solving the earthwork question.
