Mr.Chai Voon Chiet is the lecturer for this subject. Mr. Chai is a qualified engineer and a dedicated lecturer. This subject are quiet hard for me to understand it because it has many new words in it and quiet fresh for me. But it is an important subject to a quantity surveyor because as a quantity surveyor, we need to understand the construction system of a building then only we can figure out what we need to calculate. In order to understand it, I need to learn it by hard.
Construction technology has covered building system, structural system, enclosure system, and mechanical system. I have also learned the type of construction for residential building, such as load bearing or framed construction; components of building, such as slab, beam, column, trusses, frames and walls, arches and vaults, structural units, foundations; the function, performance and environmental impact of buildings. The topics that have been covered by Mr. Chai are foundations, site and temporary of works, concrete framed building, roofs, walls, windows and doors, and staircase. Mr. Chai also do gave us a group assignment about the background, the type of structure and main materials used, Industrialized Building
System (IBS) implemented and discuss on how IBS helped the construction of a specific building. My group was doing the Singapore Gold Sand Marina Bay Hotel. During this group project, i can get some idea about what is the work for IBS and how IBS helped the construction of the building. Mr. Chai also shared some video clips that related to the subject during our tutorial so that we can get more clearer picture how is the construction of a building look like. Beside that, we have done some sketching that provided by Mr. Chai. Upon successful of this subject, I am able to explain the construction of buildings and the scientific principles which underpin the design and construction; explain the principles and practices of construction technology in residential buildings and to work generally of a more complex nature; describe the definition of appropriate functional requirements; appraise implementation of erection.
Figure above shows the sketching that I have done during my tutorial.
