QSB1124 - Measurement 2

In measurement 2 we learnt on measurement in staircase, wall finishes and floor finisihes.

In Staircase, we need to measure tiles of the staircase and nosing which is non - slip homogeneous tiles. We also need to measure the plaster finished for the horizontal soffit of landing slab. The hardest thing in staircase measurement is counting the reinforcement bar because it hard to read the drawing and hard to understand also.

In wall finishes, We learnt one brickwall is 225mm thick and half brickwall is 113mm thick. Type of brick bonding like stretcher bond is half brickwall and english and flemish bond is one brickwall. We required to measure stiffener, formwork , reinforcement bars, brickwall and Damp proof course. In wall finishes for external, we need to differentiate which is common brick and facing brick because facing brick we required to add Extra over in dimension sheet. Besides that we also need to deduct the opening of the whole building like window and doors. The hardest part of wall finishes would be bathroom deduction parts. We need to careful deduct to avoid double counting.

In floor finishes, the hardest thing is the dropping because i don't know how to read the drawing clearly.

Lastly, our measurement also having a RICS-RISM-AALSM ISCU 2013 event. All the student become students helper.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAAAaqlZY7o
