MEASUREMENT 5

MEASUREMENT 5 (QSB 3115) by Mr Chee Wai Meng  and Mr Ramar Subramaniam

Purpose of measurement 5



We actually learned the measurement of Cold Water, Sanitary Plumbing, Electrical Installation works, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering works and various civil engineering works. All these actually had not been taught by other university so the students will at the head and shoulders of other university student as they gained the principal basic knowledge of measuring these works which light up their future. When the employer came to know that Taylor's graduates know more measurement than others they will tend to hire Taylor's graduates as they already had the knowledge and employer would not have to keep on guide them on their work.

Module Schedule

Week 1          Introduction to the principles of MYCESMM

                       Measurement for cold and hot water plumbing using SMM2

Week 2          Measurement for sanitary plumbing and appliances using SMM 2

Week 3          Measurement for electrical installation works using SMM2

Week 4          Measurement for HVAC works using SMM2

Week 5          Measurement of telephone trunking and cabling works using SMM2

Week 6          Measurement for Fire protection works using SMM2

Week 7          Measurement for Soil Investigation using MYCESM 

                       Measurement for Slope Stabilization works using MYCESMM

Week 8          Measurement for general earthworks , bulk excavation using 

                       MYCESMM

Week 9          Measurement for deep basement excavation using MYCESMM 

Week 10        Measurement for environmental protection, traffic management, 

                       miscellaneous  works using MYCESMM

Week 11        Measurement for tunnels  using MYCESMM

Week 1          Measurement for railway tracks using MYCESMM

Week 13        Measurement of precast concrete works using MYCESMM

Week 14        Preparation of specification clauses for the various trades 



Objectives



The objectives of the author to learned measurement 5 was to understand the importance to prepare  tender document and the importance of the ability to work effectively and efficiently with other within a team. Besides, the author also will be able to generate a depth of subject knowledge on the principles of measurement of various elements such as cold water system, sanitary plumbing, electrical installation, mechanical and electrical works and various civil engineering works. Furthermore, the author also will be able to make decisions and learned management skills related to the quantity surveying profession in the preparation of the Bills of Quantities so that he will have a bright future next in the industry.


Learning Outcomes


To be able to understand the items measurable for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and mechanical and electrical works and civil engineering works. Besides, also learned the way to distinguish and illustrate differences in writing up descriptions according to variables of designs of cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and  mechanical and electrical works and civil engineering works. Next, also knew the method to evaluate the relationship between specifications, drawings and bill of quantities in tender documents for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and  mechanical and electrical works and civil engineering works. Furthermore, also learned the way to measure various element such as cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and  mechanical and electrical works and civil engineering works based on Standard Method of Measurement (SMM2) and Malaysian Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement  ( MYCESMM ). Thus, the students learned a new thing which the way to read MYCESMM which is a engineering standard of measurement. Last but not least, will also develop a conceptual understanding of and the ability to competently undergo the preparation of the bills of quantities for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and  mechanical and electrical works and civil engineering works .

Course work 1


Course work 1 consist of a mid term test which contributed a total mark of 25% to the overall assessment which was conducted at week 7. This test enable the students to know how far they had progress. Besides, they will master the topics that the lecturer has taught. After they have measurement subject test, they will be able to do taking off more efficiently and effectively. They would not forget the topics that they have studied and will understand more on the particular topics they had been tested.

Course work 2

Course work 2 comprises of a group assignment which contributed a total mark of 25% of the overall assessment and students need to submit it on the week 8. This group assignment was designed for 5 students per group and the students was required to measure electrical works based on the information given in the assignment brief. This group assignment expose the students to the actual field and student will gain some basic knowledge on the measurement of electrical works. Besides, the students will also came to know the items that can be measured for electrical installation works. Upon completion of the group assignment, author will be able to understand and uses the clauses in SMM2 for the various trades related to electrical works. Furthermore, the students will learned to plan systematically in order to start off their assignments and they will be able to visualize the drawing and details given in the brief. This will make them have a clearer figure of what electrical work is when they are out in the field next time. Apart from that, they will be able to relate the specifications, drawing and bills of quantities. They will also know the correct method to measure electrical works and produce bills of quantities for electrical works according to SMM2. Last but not least, they will also be able to understand and carry out the preparation of bills of quantities for electrical installation works.
