Construction Measurement (4 of 4) Specialist Work (QSM302)

Synopsis

Construction Measurement (4 of 4) Specialist Work focuses on the measurement of specialist work in projects. It develops students’ understanding and skills in the measurement of building works involving earthwork calculations, deep basement excavation, demolition and alteration works, precast and prestressed concrete, curtain walls and cladding systems, glazing and external works.

Level: 3
Credit Units: 5
Presentation Pattern: Every July
