Course Aims & Objectives

At the completion of this course, the student will:
Able to describe technical information related to the building. Explain the availability, properties, selection, use and maintenance of

common building components and the application. Able describe alternative substructures of the construction in a building environment. Demonstrate a knowledge of construction Describe appropriate construction methods for internal elements including floors, partitions, ceilings, stairs, windows and doors. Describe internal and external surface finishes appropriate to the use of the space and the needs of the user. Identify alternative service Advanced technologies and new methods

Course Outline
Technical information of Buildings Basic environmental factors, aesthetic aims, technical criteria, Common defects and maintenance procedures in connection with traditionally constructed buildings Methods used in load bearing walls, including details of openings, insulation and protection from damp.

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying

UNIVOTEC

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying.. Wikipedia defines quantity surveyor as A professional person working within the construction industry to manage and control costs within construction projects and may involve the use of a range of management procedures and technical tools to achieve this goal.

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying. Note the terms: Construction Management Technical

UNIVOTEC

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying The traditional role of a quantity surveyor includes Estimation Tender Documents Tender Analysis and Negotiation Interim Payment Valuations Financial Statements Assessment of Variations and Claims Final Account

UNIVOTEC

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying Recent expansion of Quantity Surveyors role has incorporated new services as follows Value Engineering Risk Management Life Cycle Costing Dispute Resolution Expert Witness Project Management

UNIVOTEC

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying So Quantity Surveyor needs technical knowledge and technical updates critically

UNIVOTEC

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying Quantity Surveyors are expected to report the cost effects as soon as possible In design stage you do estimates as soon as the design is done. In tenders stage you analyze them as soon as they are returned. In construction stage you report the cost effects of variations as soon as instructions are issued.

UNIVOTEC

Relationship Between Construction Technology and Quantity Surveying. Note the term As soon as possible. So again Quantity Surveyor needs technical knowledge and updates critically

Why do we Need Buildings?

We build because little that we do can take place outdoors. We need shelter from sun, wind, rain, and snow. We need dry, level platforms for our activities. Often we need to stack these platforms to multiply available ground space. On these platforms, and within our shelter, we need air that is warmer or cooler, more or less humid, than outdoors. We need less light by day, and more light by night, than is offered by the natural world. We need services that provide energy, communications and water and disposal of wastes. So we gather materials and assemble them into the constructions we call buildings to satisfy these needs.

Build Environment

Environment = surroundings which can be natural, man-made or a combination of these.

Built Environment = created by man with or without the aid of the natural Environment

Physical considerations 1. Natural contours of land. 2. Natural vegetation and trees. 3. Size of land and/ or proposed building. 4. Shape of land and/ or proposed building. 5. Approach and access roads and footpaths. 6. Services available. 7. Natural waterways, lakes and ponds. 8. Restrictions such as rights of way; tree preservation and ancient buildings. 9. Climatic conditions created by surrounding properties, land or activities. 10. Proposed future developments.
