Aims
This module consolidates and builds upon the student's learning to date in the fields of measurement and Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies and processes. Students will examine the most effective quantification techniques for complex construction and engineering projects through analysis of and comparison between available measurement protocols.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Appraise and apply the rules of the standard method of measurement to prepare
project documentation related to complex construction and civil engineering projects.
2.
Evaluate emerging practices of the Quantity Surveyor in relation to sustainable design, and environmental and performance considerations.
3.
Critically evaluate the BIM protocols, processes and software appropriate to the role of the Quantity Surveyor/Estimator working in a collaborative environment throughout the project life cycle.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Design economics
Cost planning
Benchmarking
Value engineering
Civil engineering measurement
Tender documentation for a variety of different procurement options.
BIM Processes
Application and evaluation of BIM software applicable to the role of the Quantity Surveyor/ Estimator.
Development of contract practice skills in relation to pre and post contract
management
Additional Information:This module will provide students with an understanding of BIM as it relates to the QS and engineering measurement.
