Software Application for Quantity Surveyor QSB 2813

We have studied two types of software from this subject. Mr Soon was lecturing on CosX where as Puan Habizah was lecturing about Buildsoft. We have a total of 7 weeks for each module. This is the subject where it stresses on digital literacy in which it provides student a platform to adapt new techology. I personally think that my technical knowledge and skills have improved a lot. Furthermore, I have realised the importance of having Software to help us in tabulating data in a more effective and efficient way.

In this subject, we were given two assignment. We start of with the group assignment first, in which we need to do some market research on the types of software being used in Malaysia. We were asked to compare and analyze all the information before proceed to report writing. From this assignment, the team gain extra knowledge in understanding the functions and limitations  of other types of software.

The second assignment is no longer a group assignment. The task for this assignment is to come up with the build up rate of every elements from  Measurement 4 and generate all the rates to Bills of Quantities. This assignment provides me a chance to talk to supplier in order for me to take the verbal quotations. 

In overall. this subject is beneficial to all student and I believe that Employer is more than happy if the employee has certain software knowledge.
