The objectives of this module is to develop refine skills relating to the build-up rate for various types of materials and elements covered in measurement modules. From here , we are able to built-up the rate for each material for us to price in for bill of quantities . Besides that , to develop an awareness of the nature, content, and significance of estimating to the construction projects. Furthermore, to develop awareness on the effect of different build-up rate components to the rate of materials and to appreciate the various methods of estimating and the factors involved in the preparation of estimating.
Module Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, i will be able to:
1. Identify, explain and distinguish the various terminology related to estimating, measurement and unit rates
including the objectives and various components of estimating, measurement and unit rates at different
stages of construction procurement.
2. Adopt a systematic approach to estimate the unit rates by considering and evaluating other factors
influencing the cost of the construction components and elements.
3. Analyze the factors influencing the cost of the construction components, elements and project including
pricing and preparation of tender on a measured work section of Bills of Quantities in a team or
independently.
4. Analysis and justify the goodness and errors of a tender result for continuous improvement.
Task undertaken
My first coursework is actually a group work which we need to study one of the chapter in this module that is cost data. After understanding , we are required to present to other group members so they can understand more about cost data . Besides , from this coursework , we also need to learn how to built up rate in one of the element which is roof before we are able to teach other group member .
For the second coursework , we also form a group to carried up a assignment regarding to project tendering for single storey show house. Throughout this assignment i am able to learn how to work as a team and contribute my work in order to have the same motive with my group member to finish this project . After tendering are submitted , we are required to present how we built up the rate and how to persuade our client to compete with other group member to win for the project. From here , i have learnt how the process tendering is going on before i step into construction field.
As a conclusion ,estimating is very important subject for this semester. This subject I learned cost estimation and calculation which made me very interested on it and also for QS profession. This subject taught by Ms Azrina. A good and helpful lecturer. She made her class interactive for us by given us coursework. Different week different topic taught by every group distributed.
