A) SYNOPSIS :

QUANTITY MEASUREMENT emphasizes the preliminary estimating methods in construction and the build up rate calculation in the estimating work. This course also gives knowledge about basic principles of measurement works and skills training in taking-off the quantity of the substructure works, superstructure and external works.
B) LEARNING OUTCOMES :

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:-

1. 2. 3.

Acquire and practice the preliminary estimating method, the built up rate method and the quantity measurement method correctly [PLO1, PLO2, LD1, LD2] Demonstrate ability to problem solving in measurement quantity of substructure, superstructure and external work by using billing method [PLO1, PLO2, LD1, LD2]] Participate actively in discussion and contribute idea to complete quantity measurement tasks [PLO1, PLO2, LD1, LD2]]
