QSB 2615 PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 1
Instructor: Sr. Chang Khong Thong
This module provides an overview of professional and contractual responsibilities of a quantity surveyor in the consultant group from the design stage to the final account stage. It will focus on the importance of a clear understanding of the organization and administration of quantity surveyor practices and the legal and contractual procedures in relation to building procurement.
Objectives of the module are:
1. To appreciate the role of quantity surveying profession in public and private sectors.
2. To understand the appointment and the roles of quantity surveyor in the pre-contract and post-contract stage, tendering methods and procedures, evaluation and reporting of tenders and contract choices.
3. To develop awareness of the provisions of the Standard Contract forms related to construction period, insurances, Liquidated and Ascertained Damages, performance bonds, retention sums and other clauses forming basis of contract.
I had learnt to:
1. Define the qualifications (academic and professional) required of a Quantity Surveyor, its professional Institution and Board.
2. Describe the duties of a Quantity Surveyor.
3. Identify the roles of various parties involved in the building team and their construction contracts and contractual obligations.
4. Define and prepare: (a) progress payment, (b) variation orders,(c) final accounts on completion of the contract works and (d) contract administration related to Prime Cost and Provisional Sum.
5. Evaluate the array of construction contracts between the client and the main contractor.
