This semester for measurements, we learn about external works such as drainage, manhole and many more. Although it is a small but tedious topic, it is still part of a building. Thus, it must not be neglected. Measurement 4 is by far the most difficult measurement. It is because the lecturer is preparing us for intern. We are assign to do two major assignments. One is measurement itself and the other is Elemental Cost Analysis (ECA).
As for measurement, it is just like the previous semesters. But instead of only measuring the elements we learn in semester 4, we have to measure the whole building. From excavation to roof, internal finishes to external finishes. Basically we have to measure what we had learn since semester 1. The issues that we faced is missing information of the drawings. We have to query missing details to continue with our assignment We also have to prepare a Tender Document by using Buildsoft. Basically we were taught one of the main job scope as a Quantity Surveyor.
ECA is a one week project. We are put into groups of 10 to 11 students and were given a contract document to each groups. We have to extract and prepare detail cost analysis. We are grateful to be given this opportunity.
