Just like the title says, this subject involves computing. It is a subject where we were taught about two major software that used in the QS industry. They are Cost X and Buildsoft. Each software has its own function and purposes. We learn about Cost X during the first part of the semester and Buildsoft during the second part of the semester.
Cost X is a program that can do measurement. This make measurement easier. We are able to find an area of a wall/floor, length of a steel bar in a beam, volume of concrete used in a column and etc, just a click away.
Buildsoft on the other hand, it helps making the Bills of Quantities easier. We can just key in the prices of materials, labour and machineries and the build up rates can be calculated quickly. This saves up a lot of time compare to writing.
