Measurement 5

This module is concerning about the measurement skills and descriptions of the civil engineering works, mechanical and electrical engineering works, plumbing system, HAVC and fire fighting system and sanitary installation in accordance to the rules of measurement in SMM2 and MYCESM. I have learned the skill to do measurement for civil engineering works for basement excavation, rail tracks, retaining walls, deep boring, prestressed concrete, earthworks. The part that i find difficult are retaining walls and earthworks which require me to put more effort in order to understand better. The assignment of this subject is on the earthwork excavation where it allowed me to understand better on the topic and strengthen my skills in measuring for the earthworks after completing the assignment. 

Overall, i'm able to grasp hold the skill and knowledge to do measurement and write the description for for all the chapters covered. Although, I might not be involving much in measuring the external works, mechanical and electrical works and plumbing system. However, with all these skills and knowledge, I'm sure it will be able to help me to deal easily with the specialist consultants if necessary in my future career.
