MEASUREMENT 1 QSB60104
First of all it is totally not something that I expected. I can say I am more or less good with maths but measurement is completely different. For this semester, I manage to learn to read the floor plans drawn by the engineers and architect. I also now know how to do the measurement for all the elements in the strip foundation, pad footing, pile cap, column stump, roof beam, ground beam, etc. Throughout this module, I was able to understand and visualize the theory taught in class. Also I have learned that measurements is very important in the construction industry to control the budget of the project and probably that's because this is the main subject in quantity surveying. Besides that, our lecturer Ms Ang had give us lot of tutorial questions which are very helpful and let me know more about the measurement.
