Measurement IV

In this semester, we learn how to measure the external elements such as sewer drainage, pipe culvert, road and pavements, water reticulation etc. At first I thought all this items will be measured by Nos. However, our lecturer teaches us the proper way to measure what we have learned in this semester.  I have a measurement assignment group started in semester I. We finish our measurement assignment from Sem I to IV successfully in this two years. So proud to work with my teammates.  This is our first time to prepare a complete tender document in our assignment. We learn how to prepare tender documents step by step and separate our job follow the job scope given by our lecturer. I am the one who do Frame, Sanitary Fittings and External Work Within Lot Boundary, PC and PS, Instructions to tenders, Form of tenders and Conditions of tendering. Our leader Ngah Yea Zhe playing a great leader’s role, he makes sure we finish our work on time and assign us to fold the drawing correctly. We compile the tender documents together, in this process we still found out some problems from what we have done. Some of us need to redo or reprint our assignments. For the ECA week, I am so grateful that I can take part in this assignment. We really learn a lot throughout the whole process of the ECA. We need to take turns to measure the drawing because it is tender documents. After one day, we already full of experience of how to open the tender drawings fast and gently. Because we cannot open it slowly, it will waste a lot of times. I think my group is the hardest one because we are doing the 16 storey building with 3 basements. At first I thought the 20 storey group is harder than us but when I check their drawings, their building is almost same from certain floor to certain floor. So, total up they only got 3 typical drawings if I am not mistaken. After we read through all our drawings, we found out that we have 11 typical drawings and every floor had at least two curve glazing door or window. I was so shock, why the group beside us only got one floor? By the way, we will accept this challenge because we have been chosen to do this. On the second day, we decided to measure the GFA and PPT at the same time. So we divide into three groups, seven people measured the GFA, four people do the PPT and two people read the BQ. I am in the PPT group, we use PPT to draw the area of the useful, circulation ancillary and internal division area. One people 3 drawings, 1 drawings we use three hours. 9.30am to 6.30pm, this is my first time totally focus on task just hope that I can finish faster. But our group members are very hardworking and high efficiency. On Wednesday and Thursday, we break into small groups like four people a group. Two people measure and two people record the dimensions for the four areas. We always standby beside the tables to wait for our turn to measure the drawing. Finally we finish it in Thursday. All of us are so happy and so proud of ourselves. Thanks to all of them. Thanks to our lecturer for helping us within the ECA weeks and the whole semester 4.
