Aims
Aim(s) of the module is to demonstrate an understanding of various aspects of information technology & model based approaches required for construction and manufacturing sectors and to apply CAD tools to produce various design information & modelling details of construction and manufacturing sectors which ensure the competitive effectiveness of Quantity surveying practice.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an understanding about various industry standard drafting tools & packages for construction and manufacturing sectors of building, service & civil engineering structures
2.
Demonstrate understanding and apply various tools & packages to produce detailed drawings & building information in construction and manufacturing sectors of buildings, services & civil engineering structures
3.
Evaluate the requirement of advance information technology, Information Communication Technology (ICT) & Building Information Modelling (BIM) and skills to ensure the competitive effectiveness of the future of Quantity surveying practice
