In Software Application for Quantity Surveying, We do to learn of 2 software which is buildsoft and CostX. After the teaching of whole semester we are able to use both the software efficiently and effectively.
In buildsoft, we are able to produce a bill of quantities and the rate with the build up rate in a fast time by manually typing it into buildsoft. In CostX, we learned about how to use the software by step by step teaching tutorials. CostX is a fast and accurate software but it still need the knowledge of quantity surveyor to use it.
In our assignment1, We have learned about the limitation of the market available software for quantitiy surveying and understand thier usage. Whereas for our assignment 2, We have to key in our measurement quantity into bill of quantities with a build-up rate in buildsoft software. It is a tough assignment for us but after this assignment we able to use this software better compare to last time. Thus, it is good to have this kind of assignment for us.
In conclusion, I think there is a need for us to know software application because in the future we might need to use it or learn it. Thus with this subject it will provide us a better future in term of job.

QSB2615 - Professional Practice 1
Lecturer : Chang Khong Thong
In Professional Practice 1, I do learn a lot of knowledge from this subject. I understand the role of quantity surveyor in Pre- contract and post - contract stage, tendering process and others. We also learn the contract form about the Liquidated damages, performance bond and other important thing.
Professional Practice , Do help us in identifying the right of contractors or employers. It is important to know all the contract laws of the construction to claim money or to sue the person who bleach the contract.
Beside that, We also understand the tendering process and the tendering document. With this knowledge able to help us to do our job well in the future.
In the assignment, We are required to come out a 3000 words assignment with procurement method. It takes quite a long time to finish up but it worth for us to do so because after finish it we really able to understand well how does the procurement work.
In conlusion, this subject help us to identify the procurement method to be use and the right of the contractor and employee. Thus it is very important for the quantity surveyor to take this subject.

QSB2523 - Structures
Lecturer : CHAI VOON CHIET
In structure subject, I do to learn a lot of calculation in forces. For examples, forces react in truss and section of truss. This subject basically can help us by having a better communication between the civil engineering. This is because in the future we require to deal with all the relevant person in construction industries such as civil engineering, contractor, architecture and others.
We also learn how the structure works at each of the joints. We also learn to calculate the distribution of load, so that in the future we roughly know how does the building works.
In the assignment, we are required to work in a group and given a drawing of a building. We need to work out on the force of each foundation carry. This will be slightly easier compare to others subject because does not required a lot of time to finish.
After this assignment, I understand the important of being teamwork with all the members because teamwork really can help the process to go smoothly and more effectively and efficiently.
QSB2134 - Estimating (BQS)
Lecturer : Azrina Binti Md Yaakob
In estimating, I had learnt about how to develop build-up rate skill with all the element of the building in measurement.
In build-up rate, I understand different element required with different way of build-up rate which will effect the rate of the materials.
There are 3 types of estimating which is single rate, detailed estimate and comparative estimates. Each types of estimating are use in different situation. For examples, Single rate method is being used when the time is concern or only with a drafted drawing.
After learning estimating, we are able to justify and analysis the errors of a tender result. Estimating also help us by evaluating other factor which will influencing the cost.
In our assignment, We are given a tender document without a unit rate of all the element. We required to find out the units rate by ourselves. This is a hard assignment for us because we required to call the suppliers one by one to get all the materials prices and some of the suppliers tend to ignore us because we are not having money business with them.
In conclusion, estimating subject do help us a lot by teaching us in estimating all the cost of all element and evaluating other factor which will influencing the cost and others.

QSB2125 - Measurement 4
Lecturer : Chang Khong Thong
In Measurement 4, I had learned a lot of knowledge. I learned new measurement which is surface drainage, sump drainage, Bored piles, road pavement and others. Measuring bored piles is harder than all of the measurement in measurement 4 subject.
Besides that, In our assignment we required to measure the whole building elements with the cooperation among the group members. Thus, this assignment help us to gain teamwork among the group members. In this assignment, I required to measure gate and fencing, Internal wall finish, internal floor finishes and piling work. It is very hard for me to measure all the items because the drawings are not detail.
Moreover, I also learned a leadership role in this subject because I am voted to be a leader for measurement 4 subject. A leader role require to allocate the team member work and distribute it evenly. It is also require a good knowledge person because all the members will raise question whenever they face problem.
Those are the photo of our assignment drawing.
