Building and Civil Engineering Measurement and Quantification - TIA1022

Assessment 1: In-Class Test

Formative assessment will be comprised of a mock multi choice online test covering the measurement rules in NRM 2 and CESMM. Feedback will be given on this test to indicate strengths and weaknesses to inform study for the summative test.

In-Class Test. 

Assessment 2: Portfolio

An individual portfolio of a prepared Bill completed based on the information (drawings and specifications of some elements of a small residential building or a simple civil engineering structure) provided.

Portfolio

Assessment 1: Written Assignment

An essay describing the pros and cons of traditional quantification process and how 5D BIM might help to overcome some of the drawbacks of the traditional process and will be carried out under coursework regulations.

Written Assignment

<p>Measurement/quantification is a core skill of the Quantity Surveyor. This module will introduce the basic concepts in building and Civil Engineering measurements. As an introductory module to measurements, the aim of this module is to establish the fundamental knowledge about the role, the process, the basic rules and the industry standards of building and civil engineering measurements.</p>
