Assignment Brief

You have been appointed as the Quantity Surveyor for a two-storey bungalow project and using the drawings provided in the Appendix, you are required to complete the following tasks.

TASK 1: Traditional Measurement

Using traditional measurement conventions, measure the SUBSTRUCTURE of the bungalow in accordance to NRM2. The work is to be undertaken by traditional methods (i.e. handwritten or word processed) and presented on standard dimension papers. Your submission should comprise of the following items:

a) A complete taking-off list, query sheet and dimension check, including relevant considerations and assumptions (These can be prepared using Excel, Word or similar tool).

b) A set of coloured drawings, with relevant annotations, sketches and mark-up.

c) A complete and accurate setting down of dimensions (quantities) and descriptions of relevant building works in accordance to NRM2 using the standard / traditional dimension paper (either excel sheet or hand written).

Definition: The substructure is to the underside of lowest floor finishes including damp-proof membrane, standard foundations, up to and including the damp-proof course.

TASK 2: Computerised Measurement

Using a computer based estimating tool (preferably generated from CostX), transpose your taking off to produce an unpriced Bill of Quantities (BoQ) with ALL the quantities and unit of measurement extracted from the take-off sheet (prepared in Task-1), but without the unit rates and/or pricing. You are not allowed to use Excel or handwritten means in this task.

PRESENTATION

All your work should be presented as one scanned (or saved as) PDF document in a clear and structured manner, with each task clearly presented. Both your traditional and computerised submissions will need to be amalgamated into one PDF report for uploading to Turnitin.

GUIDELINES

You are presenting this to the Commercial Lead and therefore, a high level of professionalism is required. Please refer to Ms Excel templates (on Blackboard) which can be used to complete the taking off. You are allowed to edit the template as you deem fit to suit your presentation or use your own template

You will be expected to submit ALL the items listed above, including a cover page with your name and student number, as one single document in PDF format. Ensure that all your ubmissions (whether scanned or printed to PDF) are clear/legible, well-structured and professionally presented.
