In construction industry, the demand of using the software application for quantity surveying are getting higher and higher. It starts slowly replace the manual measurement but it does not take over the quantity surveyor's job as the software can further reduce the human mistake in measurement and reduce the burden of a quantity surveyor. Thus, we should have the basic knowledge on preparation of quantities taking off, preparation of rate build up and preparation of bill of quantities by using QS software in order to meet the demand of the construction industry.
Our lecturer have given us two assignments, one is an group assignment to compare and contrast the function and limitation of different software and also the manual measurement, CAD measurement and BIM measurement. It is a good assignment as we can understand and know different types of software programs available in the construction market. Therefore, we can know the feature, function and limitation of those QS software. We also can identify the differences between the manual measurement, CAD measurement and BIM measurement in different stages.
Another is a individual assignment which required us to prepare our own build-up rate and bill of quantities with the compete price for the measurement 4 group project. In order to develop technical knowledge and practical computer skills, this is a suitable assignment to train these skills in the preparation of bill of quantities and estimating for future. So, we can adapt quickly in a constantly changing technological environment. This is a fun module that I have learnt a lots from ours lecturer and these knowledges will help us in our future career.
One of the practice that I have done in build soft class.
