Aims

This module consolidates and builds upon the student's learning to date in the fields of measurement and 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, building services 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.
