INTRODUCTION TO MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING WORKS

THIS IS A SMALL SIMPLE CONCRETE AND BRICK BUILDING

HARDCORE

How much do you think the cost of building this small building? Take a guess or make an estimate

Before we estimate or calculate the cost of this small building, let us quickly see how it is build. The next few slides will show you the process of building this building
HARDCORE

What you will see are the main works only. The more detail works are taught in your Construction Technology subject
HARDCORE

It is hope that these slides will give you some idea of how a small building is build (if (if you have not already know or understand), understand), so that you may have some idea of how to measure and quantify the works. Please watch these slides carefully and take note of the PROCESS OF BUILDING this building from start to finish.

1. FOR A START, YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE TREES AND THE HEDGE THAT ARE FOUND WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE SITE.

2. THEN WE HAVE TO EXCAVATE ABOUT 150MM DEEP TO REMOVE THE TOP VEGETABLE SOIL

3. THEN FOLLOWED BY THE EXCAVATION FOR THE COLUMN BASES 4. THEN EXCAVATE FOR THE GROUND BEAMS

5. THEN BUILD THE CONCRETE COLUMN BASES (Kemudian bina asas konkrit) 6. FOLLOWED BY BUILDING THE COLUMN STUMPS (Diikuti oleh pembinaan tunggul tiang)

The next few slides will show you how the foundation is constructed in detail. Slaid seterusnya menunjukkan bagaimana asas dibina bermula dari pengorekan

a. EXCAVATION FOR THE COLUMN BASES OR FOUNDATIONS

b. Put the blinding screed c. Place the reinforcement

d. Place the formwork e. Pour the concrete

f. Place the fomwork to column stump

Formwork to column

g. Pour concrete to form column stump

h. Remove formwork to column stump

j. Remove formwork to column bases

k. After completion of the construction, fill up the pit with excavated earth

7. AND BUILD THE CONCRETE GROUND BEAMS

COLUMN STUMP COLUMN BASE

8. AFTER CONSTRUCTING THE FOUNDATION, COLUMN STUMPS AND THE GROUND BEAM FILL UP THE EXCAVATED AREA WITH EARTH

9. AND THEN FILL-UP FLOOR AREA WITH HARDCORE 10. AND THEN POUR CONCRETE TO FORM SLAB

11. AND THEN CONSTRUCT THE FRAMES i.e. THE COLUMNS 12. AND THE ROOF BEAMS

The next few slides will show you how the suspended reinforced concrete beam is constructed

a) Erect the props / supports b) Fix the soffit of beam

c) Construct formwork for the side of beam

d) Place the steel reinforcement

e) Erect the formwork to side of beam complete with struts

f) Pour the concrete into the formwork

16. AFTER LAYING THE ROOF TILES, FIX THE DOOR AND FRAMES 17. AFTER THAT, FIX THE WINDOWS AND FRAMES
