Construction Measurement (3 of 4) Advanced Civil & Structural Works (QSM301)

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

Learning Outcome

Apply the relevant SMM rules for measuring quantities.
Identify scope and interpret drawings and specifications for measuring site preparation work, excavation of reinforced concrete framed & load-bearing structures, reinforced concrete super-structure works, including staircases and specialized piling in projects.
Interpret the principles and rules of the Standard Method of Measurement for Building Works 2 (SMM2) relating to the measurement of site preparation work, excavation of reinforced concrete framed & load-bearing structures and reinforced concrete super-structure works, including staircases and specialized piling in projects.
Prepare a list of items based on drawings and specifications for measuring quantities relating to the measurement of site preparation work, excavation of reinforced concrete framed & load-bearing structures and reinforced concrete super-structure works, including staircases and specialized piling in projects.
Apply the principles and rules of SMM2 to measure site preparation work, excavation of reinforced concrete framed & load-bearing structures and reinforced concrete super-structure works, including staircases and specialized piling in projects.
Demonstrate ability to ensure that quantities measured are accurate and consistent with SMM2 principles through bulk check.
