Measurement I


Introduction of Measurement I
   Measurement I enables me to interpret clauses in the Standard Method of Measurement (SMM), adopt a systematic approach to take-off quantities from drawings for the preparation of Bills of Quantities, visualize and understand details from drawing, produce measurement according to the SMM and evaluate relationship between specification.This module covers the measurement of foundation, floor slab, ground beam and roof beam.



Assignment 1
This assignment need 5 people to formed a group. We had about 1 months to finish this assignment. This assignment is divided to 5 parts which means 5 person per part. The 5 parts are pad footing, work below underground, ground beam, roof beam, column and upper roof beam.

  I had been given for measure the column and upper roof beam. I used about 2 weeks to finished my own part.

Reflection
In this subject, I learnt about how to measure the work below underground, BRC, ground beams, upper roof beams. They are very important things we need to measure when become a Qs's in the future. 

In conclusion, Sr.Ang Fuey Lin is a very friendly and good lecturer. This is a must subject to become a Quantity surveyor.

Construction Technology I

Introduction of Construction Technology I
This module intends to provide understanding of a wide range of building components with different functions. It also describes the design process, how to build the elements and some simple sketches. Student will undergo continuous assessments such as assignments and tests to ascertain the objectives and to make sure that the learning outcome of the module is achieved. Our Construction Technology I 's lecturer is Ms.Azrina Binti Md Yaakob.


Assignment 1
In this assignment, we need to form a maximum 6 people group. We had few tasks to do this assignment. Firstly, we need to Illustrate the type of the building with plan / sketches / photo / diagrams. Secondly, Identify and explain the (i) type of foundation, (ii) type of slab and (iii) type of roof of the building with sketches / photo / diagrams. Thirdly, Compare and contrast with TWO (2) other types and recommend an alternative to replace the existing type of (i) foundation, (ii) slab, (iii) roof.


Reflection
In this subject, i learnt explain the principles and practices of construction technology in residential buildings and to work generally of a more complex nature, describe the definition of precise functional requirements, appraise implementation of erection, explain the construction of buildings and the scientific principles which underpin the design and construction.

  In the class, we had some small presentation about Construction Technology I, such as formwork. Besides that, we also did many tutorials question in the class. It can impress our mind what we learnt in lecture.

In conclusion, Ms.Azrina is a good and kind lecturer. This subject is useful.


 

Building Materials

   
Introduction of Building Materials

Reflection
  In this subject, i know how to explain the use, physical and chemical properties of the type of building materials, summarise the effect of building materials on construction and structural, qualities,analyse problems associated with different materials used.

  In conclusion, our building materials' lecturer is a good lecturer because she treated every students as her friends. This subject is very useful. It made me learnt a lot of knowledge about building materials.
