REINFORCEMENTS STEEL BARS WORKS   
Course Summary: Reinforcement Steel Bars Works


This course introduces learners to the principles, techniques, and practices of working with reinforcement steel bars (rebar) used in reinforced concrete construction. It covers the identification, selection, cutting, bending, placing, and tying of reinforcement steel according to construction drawings and specifications. Emphasis is placed on ensuring structural strength, durability, and safety of reinforced concrete elements such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations.


The module also highlights standard codes of practice, tools and equipment for reinforcement work, safety measures, and quality control in reinforcement placement. Learners gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills required in the preparation and installation of reinforcement steel in building and civil engineering projects.

TERRAZO WORKS
Course Summary of Terrazzo Works


The Terrazzo Works course introduces learners to the fundamental principles, techniques, and applications of terrazzo in construction finishing. Terrazzo is a composite material used for durable and decorative floor, wall, and surface finishes. This course covers the identification of tools, equipment, and materials used in terrazzo works, preparation of surfaces, mixing and laying terrazzo, grinding, polishing, curing, and maintenance.


Learners gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills necessary to produce high-quality terrazzo finishes that meet structural and aesthetic standards. The course also emphasizes safety practices, quality control, and environmental considerations in terrazzo production and installation.


By the end of the course, learners are expected to develop competencies in selecting materials, preparing terrazzo mixtures, applying terrazzo techniques, finishing surfaces to the required standard, and maintaining completed terrazzo works. This prepares them for opportunities in the construction and finishing industry.
CONCRETE  WORKS
Concrete works refer to the process of mixing, placing, and finishing concrete to create strong and durable structures. Concrete is a construction material made from a mixture of cement, water, sand, and aggregates (like gravel or crushed stone). It is widely used in building foundations, slabs, columns, beams, roads, and other structures due to its strength and long-lasting properties.
QUANTIFYING CONSTRUCTION WORKS
Course Summary: Quantifying Construction Works


Quantifying Construction Works is a course designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to measure, estimate, and value construction activities. The course focuses on the principles and techniques of taking-off quantities from drawings, preparing bills of quantities, and applying standard methods of measurement. Students will develop competencies in interpreting construction drawings, identifying work items, and performing accurate calculations for materials, labor, and costs.


The course also emphasizes the importance of accuracy, consistency, and adherence to industry standards in quantity surveying practice. It prepares learners for effective participation in cost estimation, project planning, and tendering processes in the construction industry.


By the end of the course, learners will be able to:


    

  • 

    Apply standard measurement methods in quantifying construction works.
    

    • 

  • 

    Take off quantities for various building and civil engineering works.
