QUANTITY SURVEYOR


INTRODUCTION


The Quantity Surveyor is a construction professional, he or she is qualified and adequately trained to advise on all aspects of construction costs, financial and contractual administration. He or she is an expert on the cost and management of construction projects, whether building, civil or heavy engineering.

Throughout the world, Quantity Surveyors are working on projects as diverse as housing, commercial property developments, hospitals, mosques, petrochemical plants, highways, dams and airports. There are more than 1000 qualified Quantity Surveyors in Malaysia and a few hundred more in training for the profession

Whenever any building project is proposed, it is important that the cost involved is known in advance. These include site preparation cost, construction, labor, material and plant costs, professional fees, taxes and other charges as well as the likely running and maintenance costs for the new building. The Quantity Surveyor is trained to evaluate these costs and to advise on alternative proposals.

Once the decision is made to build the project, the Quantity Surveyor advises the client on appropriate contract arrangement as well as the legal contract and conditions under which the building will be constructed.

He or she also, acting on behalf of the client advises the architect and engineer on the cost implications. This includes the different construction methods, alternative choice of materials and size and quality of the project. This is also to ensure that each element is reconciled with the cost plan allowance and the overall project cost remains within the budget.

These skills place Quantity Surveyors in a strong position to take a leading managerial role throughout the development of a project. For example, they are able to assess the implications of changes in design, site conditions and working arrangements and give the client accurate budget and time estimates.

Quantity Surveyors may work in a variety of areas vis. private practice, government sectors, educational institutions, construction companies, property developers, banks and financial institutions, industrial companies and other commercial companies. Their professional skills are highly respected and often achieve top managerial status.

PILIHAN HIDUPKU...

Assalamualaikum....

hahaha~~~...finally, my poster was done...hooray!!!!....korang tgk la sendiri....inilah hasil seni ak...dpt gred bape nnti, lantaklah...janji ak pass da la...cz, ak tahu kemampuan diri mcm mane...i learn this thing just for temporary...bukanla utk cari makan...

Perasaan bila siap buat poster nie??

sebetulnya ak ckp, lega giler...tiada yg lagi lega melainkan yg lega2 belaka...even x secantik students lain tp i'm very satisfied..cz, i can produce this complicated project yg x tercapai dek akal ak sebelum nie....


Aim grade tinggi ke??

terus terang ak ckp...janji pass je..that's enough for me..kalo dpt B pon syukur sgt2....bkn nk merendah diri or nk pikir negative, cume ak ckp ape yg btol...ak mmg dilahirkan bukan utk bidang seni...jari2 ak mmg keras...xde ciri2 langsung utk melukis...but i have to...tp, insyaAllah ak ttp bg yg termampu utk subjek nie...


Terpaksakah??

yes, absolutely....mmg terpaksa...sbb core course...requirement utk masuk Kulliyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) uia gombak...so, nk x nk kena belajar...tp ak redha...ni sebahagian drpd jalan hidupku..


Menyesalkah??

x...cz the road has taken...ak xkan sesali...sbb ak percaya Allah Maha Mengetahui setiap benda dia atas muka bumi nie...n semua berlaku itu ada hikmahnye....


Jd ape cite2 asal sebenarnya??

haha...~~sebenarnya impian asal sejak zmn sekolah nk jd doktor...anaethestist (pakar bius)...or pharmacist...mmg tu cite2 utama ak...tp sbb result x cukup utk nk amik course tu...hehe~~so, terima je apa yg dpat...


Belajar course nie (course sekarang) kerana telah ditetapkan oleh pihak upu ke?? sekadar mengikuti ape yg dapat??

sejujur-jujurnya...tidak...sbb ni adalah back-up plan ak...nie yg ak isi dlm 8 pilihan upu dulu...dan ak mmg da tahu ke mana harus ak tuju lps foundation..so, QS mmg tujuanku memilih course nie...sbb QS ni di bwh AED utk foundation, so nk x nk kena tempuh la...

"i always be on the top, now i've to feel be at the bottom.."

THE MALAY HERITAGE + KENANGANKU..

Task GC: Exercise 4 Composition and Layout...Poster bersaiz A2 bertemakan "The Malay Heritage"...aku tak tahu la macam mana nanti jadi aku punya poster...

This is my first design for this task..korang nilaikanlah sendiri yek...tapi bagi ak dah lawa dah tu...haha~~even tak secantik orang lain...korang jgn ckp aku perasan yek..sbb aku x ckp lawa leh msk galeri..cuma aku cakap yang nie adalah antara karya teragung aku semenjak hampir 19 tahun ak bernafas kat muka bumi nie...kah3~~

Aku pun sebenarnya tak sangka yang aku leh lukis semua nie...kira nampaklah bentuk rumah yang aku nak cuba sampaikan..sebab kebiasaanya bila aku lukis something jadik lain...may be masa aku lukis kat dalam studio hari tu aku feel kot..enjoy dengan benda ni..tanpa sedikit perasaan tension..mula2 aku sketch bodoh2 kat dalam sketch book aku..then tunjuk kat madam untuk betulkan aku punya composition and layout..actually dua tiga kali jugaklah aku padam sebab madam tak puas hati dengan susunan gambar tu...tapi last2 tu dia cakap dah okay...tp x tau la...aku kena tunjuk balik kat mdm before jumaat ni...kira kena approve dulu...so, lps nie aku kena fikir pasal teknik rendering yg sesuai pulak...huhu...takpe2 belajar kan...

sekarang, fikiran aku dah back to normal...tak ada benda yang menyerabutkan kepala otak aku lg...baru aku sedar yg sebenarnya aku tak sepatutnye meng'tension'kan fikiran aku tu..walaupun semua ini adalah di luar kemampuan aku yg asal...tapi aku percaya pada kekuasaan dan keajaiban Allah s.w.t...kalau aku tak mampu, kenapa Allah tempatkan aku untuk ambil course nie??..kiranya Dia tahu yg aku mampu mengharunginya...aku malu sebenarnya kat Madam Rabeah kalau aku masih wat kesalahan macam projek last week...malu kot...so, i'll prove that i can do it in GC...eventhough my aim is to further in QS..boleh mimi!!...u can do it actually...hehe~~

okay, i stop here about GC..nnti boring plak...asyik GC jer... sekarang nie aku dah ada tanggungjawab kat CFSIIUM nie...aku terpilih utk jd line-up IDEA ( architecture n environmental design society)...dan yg plg mengejutkan aku jd head bureau...utk bereau education and training...haha~~..terkezut den..aku ingat setakat committee biasa jek..huhu...insyaAllah aku akan beri yg terbaik utk IDEA society...looking for experience..and experience is the best teacher in every single life...betul x??..apa2 je la mimi oii...hehe~~..at least baru teratur sikit hidup aku kalau ade komitmen laen...ni tak asyik mengadap laptop je kerja aku..siang malam, pagi petang...kalau tak pon tidur...eh, GC tu aku buatlah...nanti x pasal2 jadi benda lain kalau tak buat nanti...selain IDEA aku jugak jd committee utk QLEP ( Quranic Language Enhancement Program) utk sesi 2010/2011...hehe..bkn la gila kuasa..tapi memenuhi masa aku dengan benda2 yg bermanfaat, sambil mencari pengalaman...kalau mase sem 2 thn lps aku join byk jugak event kat CFSIIUM nie..tapi yang paling best sekali join IPTIM (pesta sukan ipt islam) kat KUIM maen volleyball...dpt no 2..hehe...best sgt2 dpt kenal kwn2 baru..then, yg latest awl sem nie terpilih utk jadi taaruf week committee...yg nie mmg pengalaman yg x dpt dilupakan...best memory..dpt kenal kwn2 dr CFSIIUM nilai...n PJ yg x pernah jumpa dan kenal sebelum nie...
