This module taught by 2 lecturer - Mr. Simon Chee and Sr. Ramar.
Mr. Simon explain to us how to use MYCESMM on civil engineering works. Mr. Simon covered the RE wall installation, rail track measurement, earthworks measurement and prestress measurement.
Sr. Ramar introduced us the measurement for cold water installation, electrical installation, sanitary installation, fire protection and air conditioning installation.
In this semester, Sr. Ramar prepared assignment for us and Mr. Simon prepared mid term test for us.
Both of these civil engineering works and M&E works usually are not prepared and covered by consultant's QS. However, through out this module, I able to understand the way to measure and tender preparation of both civil engineering works and M&E works.
I believe this knowledge will be used in the future.

Besides, I also have more understanding about the major Laws and Regulations of the Malaysia's construction industry involved such as
In additional, I also have more understanding about Public Private Partnership (PPP) procurement route which adopted by the public sector to meet long term public sector needs such as highways, ports, power stations and etc.
The various form of PPP are:
In this module, I feel that contractor's QS is much more challenging compare to consultant's QS.
