ASSIGNMENT 1 - COMPLETE TAKING-OFF

Cadangan pembangunan 5 blok bangunan asrama pelajar 5 tingkat di Politeknik Tengku Omar, Perak

 

 

In this group assignment, we were divided into a group of 7. Our group members are Tan Jia Yi, Mok Po Yi, Chin Weng Lok, Chong Kai Xiang, William Goh, Lim Jie Qi and I. Based on the drawings provided, we were required to prepare a complete taking-off for the following structural elements for the chosen buildng :

  • Pilecaps including excavations from reduce level

  • W.B.G.F.L including site clearance and excavation, ground floor slab etc

  • All first floor to fourth floor slabs and beams

  • Roof slabs and beams

Furthermore, we need to prepare Billing as well. 

 

This assignment let us to develop an understanding of the principles of measurement and techniques in preparing the Bills of Quantities and specification writing. We have also learned to develop an awareness of the nature, content, and significance of tendering and contractual documentation. Most importantly, have a sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Standard Method of Measurement in taking-off quantities.

 

 

To be honest, I really learned a lot from this assignment including how to see drawings and take-off quantities of the construction works straight from the drawings given which I really amazed by my ability. As before that, I wasn't sure some of the taking-off that was taught in class and I was trying hard to figure out the concept of that particular structure. But this assignment has brought me to understand more, by asking teammates and other group mates as well we really learned a lot from there through communication and our friends are always there to help out. It undoubtedly create a strong unity among us.

 

Moreover, I was able to distinguish and illustrate differences in writing-up description and also learned to carry out the preparation of the Bills of Quantities. From this assignment, we can certainly see the importance of teamwork, we had planned well to divide our tasks, went to campus together and did works together all the time and compiled all of our works at last. Just like what Helen Keller said ," Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." 

 

Lastly, I would like to thank Miss Ang for her patience and guidance throughout this assignment. When we face any problem, she'll explain to us patiencely and give us a big picture of what are the things that we don't understand. Indeed a responsible and caring lecturer.
