Building Economics

This subject is to teach us on the construction cost and the whole life costing of the building. This subject is very difficult but it is very useful in the future. We need to understand the previous topic in order to understand the current topic. They are all related.

Assignment 1
This is by far one of the most difficult assignment to do. Mrs Diane had organize a two days workshop for us. This workshop was lead by Mr Eugene from Langdon and Seah. He will teach us and guide us throughout the workshop. We were given details of a project three days before our workshop. These details are what the client expect to have for an upcoming project but the catch here is there was no drawing given. Just the plan of the site. And with this we are to estimate and present the cost of the whole project to a panel of judges. It was very stressful as we only have a day to come out with a figure and to face a panel of judges with vast knowledge of the construction industry was frightening. But after all the hard work put into this assignment, it pays off well. We learn that we do not need drawings to estimate cost of the project and we, quantity surveyors can lead a project.
