BUILDING MATERIAL - BLD62003
Building materials is only one of the required knowledge needed for a Quantity Surveyor to specialise on because they are the ones who determined the cost of the whole operation of the construction project.Overall I feel that this module is fairly interesting as I get to learn about the different materials used for construction from bricks to glass. However for that same reason it is quite boring as all these are mainly just facts as it's not like measurement that need to calculate and think. But also need to thanks to Pn Has for putting effort to lecture us.
ASSIGNMENT 1
In this assignment, we supposed going to site visit and learn how worker in the site construct a building. However, because contractor or the owner is not allowing us to visit the site before Hari Raya and lecturers decided to change this assignment by watching some videos and search information from the internet. From this assignment, I know how do workers construct a brick wall which several steps in order to a construct a strong wall. Also i learn how brick is arranged to make a different type of bonding such as header bond, stretcher bond etc.
ASSIGNMENT 2
For this assignment, we required to consider the material and items need to build a spacing or a house.Items that we need to be designed are foundation, floor, walls, ceilings, windows and doors, ironmongery, space ladder, shelves, counter and cabinet and others. We chose Japanese style as our concept for this assignment and I had chosen master bathroom & bathroom as my part. Throughout this assignment, I found that it is not an easy job as an architect to consider the good material for a house and design the house as well as consider the stability and usefulness of the item. Also I also learn lot of things besides part such as material for foundation and roof and also flooring and finishes.
