Building Services 1 BLD 60403

I'm presenting the last assignment

This subject is provided with an introduction to services that are commonly provided in a building, primarily cold water treatment and supply, sewerage disposal and treatment, storm water management, telecommunication services and ventilation systems. Students are also made familiar with basics requirements, Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL), planning, coordination and installation of these services.

Learning outcome
In this group assignment, it has also help me to ameliorate my thinking and problem solving skills. In this particular project, we were required to think creatively and critically in order to suggest methods to solve the stormwater management issue in developing countries.

Communication skill- we were also given the opportunity to present our report in the class. Mr Leong also did give us some comment and advice to our presentation skill. So, learn from mistakes! Always improve from mistakes.

In this project, I was able to put theories that I learnt during lectures and tutorials into implementation as I am able to recognise the various building services in the industry. For instance, telecommunication, ventilation, water pipe system, stormwater management, sewage pipe system and many more. In my point of view, as a future quantity surveyor, it is a necessity for us to know each and every detail of the building services as it will be included in our Bills of Quantities.

Site Surveying QSB 60103

 

GROUP ASSIGNMENT I - LEVELLING

·      To find the elevation of the given point with respect to some assumed reference lines, datum.
·      To establish point at required elevation respect to datum.
·      To determine the difference in height of two discrete points
·      To analyze the probable errors that occurs while carrying out the survey.
·      To be aware of the types of errors that are present in the readings.

GROUP ASSIGNMENT II - TRAVERSING

·      To determine the actual position of the boundary
·      To authorize the position of the boundary line
·      To determine the area encircle within a boundary
·      To establish ground control for photographic mapping

Learning outcome 

Discipline Specific Knowledge- that we are able to apply the theory and knowledge what we learnt from the class and understand more about the professional practice of our course in the construction industry.

Moreover, it has also help me to ameliorate my thinking and problem solving skills. In this particular project, we were required to think creatively and critically in order to solve the levelling and traversing errors that occurred during the survey that was conducted. 

Since this is a group assignment, communication skills between the members is definitely essential for this project to be a success. After this assignment, each of our communication skills has definitely increase by leaps and bounds as it is vital to communicate with our group members in order for everyone to keep on the same pace.  

Measurement 2 QSB 60204

This subject covers the principles, purpose and function of Standard Method of Measurement (SMM2) including measurement principles, descriptions and standard phraseology. It also covers the measurement of brickwork of internal and external walls, timber floors and stud partitions, staircase structure and staircase balustradings; floor, wall, ceiling and staircase finishes including painting. All measurements will be based on the Standard Method of Measurements for Building Works Second Edition by the Royal Institution of Surveyors, Malaysia.

LEARNING OUTCOME
1. Adopt a systematic approach to take-off quantities from drawings for brickworks, stud partitions, staircase
structure, staircase finishes and balustrading, floor, wall and ceiling finishes and precast concrete piling.

2. Distinguish and illustrate differences in writing-up descriptions in accordance to design changes for
brickworks, stud partitions, staircase structure, staircase finishes and balustrading, floor, wall and ceiling
finishes and precast concrete piling.


3. Produce measurement for brickworks, stud partitions, staircase structure, staircase finishes and
balustrading, floor, wall and ceiling finishes and precast concrete piling.


4. Generate a conceptual understanding and the ability to competently carry out the preparation of the Bills of
Quantities for brickworks, stud partitions, staircase structure, staircase finishes and balustrading, floor, wall
and ceiling finishes and precast concrete piling.

 

Construction Technology 2 BLD60204

This subject is to provide an overview of the concept and knowledge on the actual construction practice at the site. Furthermore, to develop the our ability to apply the complete constructional procedures of the various types of building with suitable materials and design. Besides that, to develop the our ability to apply the health and safety measure necessary for the construction industry.

For the assignment one, is a individual assignment which is containing 20 drawings. This assignment made us know more about the components in the construction site.

For the assignment two is a group assignment. We formed a five member group.The assignment need to choose a topic and record a 20 minutes video. Then, we decided to go a construction site in Semenyih. This assignment made us know more knowledge about the processes in the construction site, materials in construction site and what's the role of contractor and civil engineer in a construction site.

Learning outcome

Interpret the logical sequences of concepts and alternative construction practices, demonstrating the variation in  material application. Apply current legislation and standard with particular attention to safety and correct use of materials. Analyse   construction  nature   problems   systematically   and   synthesise   solution   through   critical evaluation.
