Test 

The mid term test contributes to 25% of the overall marks. This test was on electrical services where we were given a drawing and we had to come up with the taking off list, query list, dimension sheets and Bills of Quantity of the given electrical services. The test was comprehensive and helped us to understand the measurement of this element through the challenging nature of the drawing given.

Assignment

This assignment was to be completed in a group of 5 students and will contribute 25% of the overall marks. Work was divided equally among group members as we will be marked as a group but everyone has to write their respective names on the taking off paper they have done.

The objective of this assignment was to asses the students knowledge of the site clearance and earthworks elements. Students had to use  their understanding of applying the Simpson rule for cut and fill  earthworks. Besides doing taking off, it also tests the skill of students to apply MYCESMM clauses for preparing Bills of Quantity.
