​

From this assignment, I found it the most valuable. It showed us the complete tender process from acquiring a contractor to tender for a construction job. As for our group, we demonstrated good team spirit and were able to coordinate well with one another. We looked for the most reasonable price for all the building materials that meet our client's requirement. To be honest, it was a good experience and I'm glad to group with my fellow group mates.

 

The most touching moment was that our group had been shortlisted for tender interview and eventually won the tender. We really did a great job and I'm glad that all our efforts had been paid off.
