QUANTIFYING CONSTRUCTION WORKS

This module focuses on the essential skills needed to measure and estimate all aspects of a building project accurately. The goal is to equip you with the knowledge to create a clear and realistic plan before any construction begins.

Here are the key topics we would explore:

  1. Understanding a Bill of Quantities (BoQ): We'll learn how a BoQ serves as the blueprint for a project's costs and materials. It's the document that lists every item needed for the construction.

  2. Material Estimation (Takeoffs): This section would teach you the methods for calculating the exact quantities of materials required, from the number of bricks to the amount of mortar and concrete.

  3. Labor and Costing: You'd learn how to estimate the labor hours and skills needed for each task, and then how to translate all of these figures into an accurate total project cost.

  4. Reporting and Documentation: Finally, we'd cover the importance of keeping detailed records and reports for project management and financial tracking.

In essence, this module is about ensuring that your project is not only well-built but also well-planned and financially sound.
