Develop an understanding of the principles of measurement
Develop an awareness of the nature, content, and significance of tendering and contractual documentation
Have sufficient knowledge of the Standard Method of Measurement in taking-off quantities
From what I have learned in this module, I am able to explain and interpret clauses in the Standard Method of Measurement ( SMM ) and adapt a systematic approach to take-off quantities from drawing for the various trades in relation to sub-structure and reinforced concrete frame works. Not only that, I am able to distinguish and illustrate differences in writing-up descriptions in accordance to design changes for sub-structure and reinforced concrete frame works. This module also taught me to evaluate the relationship between Specifications, Drawings and Bills of Quantities in Tender Documents for sub-structure and reinforced concrete frame works. Most importantly, it helps us to generate a conceptual understanding of and the ability to competently carry out the preparation of the Bills of Quantities for sub-structure and reinforced concrete frame works.
