CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 2

This module is mainly about the support systems and elements used for a building during construction such as scaffolding, piling, diaphragm wall and etc. It is a very interesting subject as we can learn and gain more knowledge of the technology used during construction and have a basic knowledge about the construction process which we will witness more in the future as a quantity surveyor.

For construction technology 2, there will be a mid-term test, one individual assignment and one group assignment. For the individual assignment, we were given 20 drawings to complete. These drawings help us in understanding more about the components of support system and building structure. As for group assignment, it will consist of 5 group members and the task required is we have to produce a 20 minutes long of video about the construction process and our topic was scaffolding.

In a nutshell, this module provides us a lot of knowledge about construction process and the technology used. We had to visit construction sites for our group assignment in order to obtain the image and video of scaffolding. Therefore, I have gain more knowledge and experience and also have an image of how a construction site will look like in the future. Besides, the things I have learnt from group assignment is that teamwork and communication can never be less to produce a good project effectively and efficiently. Throughout the module, last but not least, we are lucky to have an experienced lecturer, Mr Chiew who have shared a lot of his experience and knowledge during tutorials as well as lectures. Moreover, he had also taught us about the good attitude that we should have to be successful in the future in our career. In overall, it provides us a lot of knowledge not only in construction process, also the general knowledge and attitude that we should have in our life.

These are the drawings we were required to do for individual assignment.
