Software appplication

Assignment 1:For this assignment, we need to form a group of 7 people. We need to submit a report of our research on different types of software programs available in the construction market and their limitations in usage.

The report is divided into two parts. In Part 1, we will focus on the functions and limitation of different BIM QS computer software in the market. In Part 2, we will compare the benefits and constraints of BIM, CAD Measurement and Manual Measurement.

​

We divide the task among the group members. I will be doing Part 2 Manual Measurement. After everyone has done their part, we compile it together.

Reflection:

Through this assignment, I learn that there are many software in this market that are helping QS in doing measurement and preparing BQ. Each of the software has different functions and their limitations. I should learn these software because it will definitely help me in my future.

Furthermore, I want to say thank you to my entire group member. We are able to carry out a good teamwork and finish the assignment on time. Everyone did their job very well. Lastly, I need to say thank you to our lecturer for helping us and guide us on this assignment.

Assignment 2:

This is an individual assignment. We need to do Bill of Quantities with rates using Buildsoft software. There are two things that we need to submit. The first thing is Bill of Quantities with description, quantities and units while the second thing is the price build-up.

We need to use the BQ that we have done for our Measurement 4 assignment in this assignment. First, we need to insert the calculation for each element. Next, we need to calculate the unit rates of the elements like what we have learned in our Estimating subject. We need to find the rates of the material and the labour cost. Although it is an individual assignment, we can work with our Measurement 4 assignment group member. 

Reflection 

Through this assignment, I learn how to do Bill of Quantities with rates using Buildsoft software. I am able to do the Bill of Quantities with rates by myself. I realize that this Buildsoft software is really convenient for QS. I should master this software because I think that this software will definitely help me in my future.

​

Lastly, I want to say thank you to my classmates for helping me in this assignment. Without them, I am not able to complete this assignment.
