There are two lecturers for this subject, they are Sr Eddie Lim and Ms. Dianne Kok. I have learned to list the various components of construction project attributing cost and I am able to explain the terminology related to the preparation of unit rates, adopt a systematic approach to pricing unit rate in the measured works section of Bills of Quantities, analyse various cost elements in building up the total cost of a building project, prioritise the importance of various factors affecting the level of costing to generate effective skills in tendering techniques and implement cost control procedures to control alternatives to make well-reasoned recommendations.
The assessment of the student overall performance comprise of two assignments and one final examination. Total marks is 100%.
The first assignment is a group of 5 students where we have to prepare a seminar for the other students. First, we have to prepare presentation slides on a specified topic. After the presentation, we have to tutor small group of students on the question given by lecturer. The second assignment is also a group assignment where we need to collect the tender documents from our lecturer and price it. We are required to request for quotation from a supplier regarding the material cost. After we submitted our tender documents, the lecturer will list down the three lowest tenderer and shortlist for interview. Meanwhile, the others who does not make it to the list proceed to the other interview.
This subject is a clear introduction of the role of contractor QS. I get a closer look on the tendering process. Besides that, time management is very important as the given dateline is short. Also, the coursework improve my communication skill in various settings and modes.
