Learning Outcome

We can assume that we understand how hard it is to get up from a fall, we can imagine how beautiful a scenery would be through description of words and images but nothing worth more than experiencing it ourselves. Similarly, we read books and listened from lecturers in lectures and tutorial about how construction project during its construction phase works but diagrams and plans can only tell that much. The feeling of excitement before even entering the site, thirst for answer that fills our curiosity of how things really looked like. When we entered the site, things are far different from what we imagined such as the additional consideration towards the worker’s living place and so on. With the aid of both research as well as the site visit, the experience and knowledge doubles. It is now possible to relate and understand the terms and description written in books or website because of the site visit. This aids us not only in the practical usage but also makes reading and research a greater ease compared to researching through books and website blindly.

Learning Outcome

One of the many things that I have learnt from this project is the understanding of the principles of measurement and techniques in preparing the Bills of Quantities and Specification writings. The ability to be aware of the nature, content and significance of tendering and contractual documentation within a plan. Finally the sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Standard Method of Measurement (SMM) in taking off quantities.
