Measurement V

Measurement V

This measurement is the final measurement module in our BQS course. As a continuation of the previous measurement modules, Measurement 5, officially named as 'Building Services and Civil Engineering Quantities', focuses on 2 types of measurement that are non-conventional to the main building works, which are Mechanical and Electrical Services as well as Civil Engineering works. 

This module is divided into two, Civil engineering works & Building services, both taught by different lecturers: Mr. Simon Chee Wai Meng & Ms. Laura Law respectively. 

The Services of a building uses SMM2, like the previous modules, but in Civil engineering works measurement however, students were introduced to Malaysia's MyCESMM book, a guide for measurement of civil engineering works.

​

 In this section we measured civil works such as reinforced earth wall and railway tracks.

In regards to Civil engineering measurement, it consists of:

• Retaining Earth Wall
• Concrete works (Prestress concrete)
• Railway tracks
• Sedimentary Basins
• Cut & Fill
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Group Assignment 

  The group assignment for the measurement module this semester is rather small in load as compared to previous ones. This group assignment focuses on the Electrical connections which requires a group of 6 to measure on the items and a theory question have been asked individually.
  
  

  Summary

  In summary, this measurement module completes our knowledge in measurement for a wide range of works in the industry. I believe that, if given a chance, we will be able to apply what we have learnt here in our works in the future.
