foundation; driven and bored pile foundations, deep raft foundation and underpinning to
defective foundations. Measurement of in-situ reinforced concrete framed structure: column
bases, columns and beams, suspended slabs, staircases (including balustrade and handrail),
concrete flat roof and felting; preparation of reinforcement schedule using MS Excel and
measurement of reinforcement and formwork. Production of bill of quantities for the measured
works using manual method, the use of MS Excel and dedicated computer software. Site visits,
use of construction pictures and video diaries to aid students’ understanding of the sequence of
construction works being measured. Group assignment in preparation of bill of quantities of a
reinforced in-situ concrete framed structure; Introduction to use of preliminary and preamble
