Surveying is the art and science of measuring angles, distances and positions (northing, easting and elevation), on or near the surface of the earth. First is to determine the relative positions of existing points or objects.

The student will study both the theory and practical application of Linear Surveying, Levelling Angle Measurement and the Measurement of Buildings. In addition the student will develop the ability to use specialist surveying equipment to complete land surveying and building measurement tasks.

Learning Outcomes

1. Apply the principles of linear surveying to measure buildings and to solve practical survey problems
2. Undertake the field work and computation for levelling applications such as flying levelling, longitudinal sectioning and contouring
3. Set up and use a theodolite to measure angles
4. Work as a member of a team to carry out a field survey
5. Produce a written report detailing fieldwork, observations, calculations and results for practical surveying applications

QSB 1524 Construction Techonology 2

Lecturer: Chiew Seng Khoon

This module will enable the development and establishment of a base knowledge of the fundamental principles of design and technology. Such base knowledge will enable students to appreciate the decisions made on design, functional element, selection and the rational and economic use of resources. It also explains the fundamentals of piled foundations, deep excavation, form works, scaffolding, shoring and underpinning, partition and suspended ceilings, portal frames, precast concrete and steel roof trusses.

Module Teaching Objectives

1. To provide an overview of the concept and knowledge on the actual construction practice at the site.
2. To develop the ability to apply the complete constructional procedures of the various types of building with suitable materials and design.
3. To develop the ability to apply the health and safety measure necessary for 3. The construction industry.

Module Learning Outcomes

• Interpret the logical sequences of concepts and alternative construction practices, demonstrating the variation in material applications.
• Apply current legislation and standard with particular attention to safety and correct use of materials.
•   Analyse construction nature problems systematically and synthesis solution through critical evaluation.

INTRODUCTION TO LAW - QSB 1414

Learning Outcomes :

• Understanding the functions of Parliament and the Malaysian Court System.
• Able to establish a contract
• Understanding the usage in offer, acceptance, intention, and consideration.
• Learn about tort intentional tort and defamation.

Lecturer: Ms Anita Shoba Magimay

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 1 - QSB 1514

This subject extends the subject Understanding Buildings to include larger scale building such as office blocks, high residential and mixed use buildings, shopping center, warehouses, factories and the like. The focus is on building systems and materials and it is intended to provide property and development us with a basic understanding of the materials and processes that are employed in the design and construction of larger buildings. The approach is based on the standard building element breakdown of structures. Value in buildings and how that is enhanced or reduced by choice of materials, design outcomes and construction methods is a central theme.

Learning Outcomes of this Subject

• Understand the construction and structural principles and practice in the design and construction of medium and high rise building types.
• Appreciate the various construction methods, systems and choices made in the design of various building types - shops, offices, industrial and high rise residential buildings.
• Understand the performance, property management and maintenance requirements of the various elements within a range of building types.
• Appreciate the creation and destruction of value by the choice of design construction and materials in buildings.

Lecturer: Ir. Chai Voon Chiet

Module Sypnosis: Understanding the fundamentals of earth works, site setting-out, foundations, walls, columns, beams, floors, windows, staircase and etc.

MEASUREMENTS 1 - QSB 1114

  

A site visit for Measurement 1 subject was organized by our lecturer Ms. Ang on 21th June 2013. The location of the site visit was at Subang Jaya. We have separate into 2 group to enter the site, the agenda of the visit consist of deep explanation by the site manager which is Mr. Peter on the operation of the project. There was a lot of question carry on by us when we having site walk but the project manager explained the details patiently. Before we went back to campus, we took a group photo and the site visit ended around 11.30am.

§  To introduce various types of building materials used in current construction practice.

§  To create an understanding of the choices designers make in choosing building materials based on the properties of these materials.

§  To differentiate the suitability of materials and significance in utilizing those materials in relation with building’s functions.

Through the study of cost value engineering i am able to learn and master the concept of cost value engineering in terms of :

1.       Explain the use, physical and chemical properties of the type of building materials.

2.       Summarise the effect of building materials on construction and structural qualities.

3.       Analyse problems associated with different materials used.
