Synopsis

Construction Measurement (3 of 4) Advanced Civil & Structural Works focuses on the measurement of more advanced Civil & Structural works in projects. It develops students’ understanding and skills in the measurement of building works involving site preparation work, excavation of reinforced concrete framed & load-bearing structures and reinforced concrete super-structure works, including staircases and specialized piling in projects.

Level: 3
Credit Units: 5
Presentation Pattern: EVERY JAN
