Acknowledgement
Specially thank to my lecturer, Sr. Dianne Kok Hui
Wei for assigning and guiding us through the project. She has given us
this opportunity to produce this report and helped us understand more on the
related matter on Building Economics.

Module Synopsis
This module provides an overview of the Quantity Surveyor’s role during the pre-tender stage of a development. I have been introduced to the practical situations of the various methods of controlling the cost of buildings at the design stage. I also had been introduced to the relationship between building morphology, design variables and life cycle costing of a building. I have been given the opportunity to learn and apply information technology in the cost planning.
3.0 Module Teaching Objectives
The teaching objectives of the module are:
1. To develop an awareness of the nature, content, and significance of cost control, cost planning and understand the roles of project teams towards fulfilling client needs.
2. To develop awareness of the effect of design variables in obtaining an economical design and to appreciate the role of the quantity surveyor in pre- and post-contract stages.
Module Learning Outcomes
4.0 Upon successful completion of this module, we will be able to:
1. Identify the role and responsibilities of Quantity Surveyors in the overall development process and to match the relationship between cost and design to a value outcome.
2. Explain various methods of pre-tender estimating.
3. Outline the importance of cost studies to enhance the role of Quantity Surveyor in the development process.
4. Produce an estimate at pre-tender stage, cost plan based on historical data and S-curve for financial planning to a proposed project

WHAT I HAVE GAINED FROM THIS MODULE:
5.1 Discipline
Specific Knowledge
The knowlegde that I have gained from classroom is
then presented our group assignment in video.
5.2 Lifelong
Learning
This module required me to be more independent and able to extract the information get
from the qs profession. To complete this assignment, we are required to do
extra study and outsourcing in order to produce a quality one.
5.3
Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
This can be learned throughout the tutorial
questions provided, where we were required to solve the questions in front of
the class. So it enable my course-mate to correct me when I did mistake during
my tutorial.
In conclusion, we are going to work in a project team. Hence, it is important
for us to familiarize with the basic QS role and process and to be more socializing
in the construction industry to upgrade ourselves in term of career
perspective.
