As a quantity surveyor, we need some basic knowledge on the construction of building. Thus, the lecturer introduced us the principles and practices of construction technology in residential building and work generally of more complex nature. The lecturer also provided us some experience of himself that he had met before in the construction field. These interesting experiences are really useful to us when we stepped into the society.
Besides that, a lot of drawing is provided to let us sketch them. Through these sketches, we understand the construction of buildings and the scientific principles which underpin the design and construction. There are some video clips had showed by lecturer such as mega- structure or the national geography which was related to the marvelous building in the world.
To build a building, the structure and foundation are the most important section in construction. This is because different structure and different foundation is designed for different building. For example, piling foundation is used for the high and heavy loading building. The structure and foundation might change depend on the environment of the site and the natural disaster which may possible happen in the future. This is an important module to help us to understand more about the building, and it can help us to visualize the building itself.
