MEASUREMENT 5

Measurement

The measurement subject actually covered of Cold Water and Sanitary Plumbing, Electrical Installation works, M & E works and various civil engineering works.This helps students to appreciate the significance of Tender Document preparation and the importance of the ability to work effectively with other within the context of a team. Besides that, it also helps to develop a depth pf subject knowledge on the principles of measurement of various elements. The most important is that it helps to develop decision of making and management skills related to the quantity surveying profession in the preparation of the Bills of Quantities.

With the learning of measurement five,students are able to recognize the items measurable for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and M & E works and civil engineering works . The skills of distinguish and illustrate differences in writing up descriptions in accordance to design changes of cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and M & E works and civil engineering works can also be possess through the learning of Measurement five.Besides that, students are able to evaluate the relationship between specifications, drawings and Bill of Quantities in Tender Documents for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and M & E works and civil engineering works . Students are require to produce measurement for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and M & E works and civil engineering works in accordance to Standard Method of Measurement (SMM2) and Malaysian Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement ( MYCESMM ) .Therefore students are able to generate a conceptual understanding of and the ability to competently carry out the preparation of the Bills of Quantities for cold water and sanitary plumbing , electrical installation and M & E works and civil engineering works .

Assignment 1

We are require to carry out the taking off list with unit of measurement and relevant SMM2 clauses.The task that has been assigned is to carry out the measurement of items of works from TNB meter to DB'BG' and to DB'BF'.This including the measurement of all electric works on ground floor and first floor such as final sub-circuits and accessories.Lastly,we are required to prepare a bills of quantities for all items that has been measured. This assignment is actually carried out in a group comprising of five students.

The objectives of this assignment is to extend and refine skills relating to measurement and description of building works.Secondly, this assignment actually helps to develop an awareness of the nature, content, and significance of tendering and contractual documents.We are able to gained knowledge and understanding of the Standard Method of Measurement in taking off quantities. The development of understanding of the principles of measurement in preparing the bills of quantities and specification writing is also one of the objectives of the assignment.


Below are some photo attachment of part of the assignment:

Throughout this assignment,I am able to recognize the items measurable for electrical installation works.Besides that, one of the skills that I have actually gained through this assignment is the interpretation of clauses and explanation of the use of SMM2 for the various trades in relation to the electrical installation works.I realize that I am also able to demonstrate a systematic and orderly mind and able to visualize the drawings and details given by completing this assignments. Discussions have been carried out in order to evaluate the relationship between specifications, drawings and bills of quantities.Therefore an accurate measurement can be produce for the electrical installation works in accordance to SMM2. Each of us actually possess the ability to competently carry out the preparation of the bills of quantities for the electrical installation works through this assignment.
