Measurement 5

Measurement 5 is a whole new learning among all previous measurements. This module comprises the measurements of Civil works and M&E works. What we learned in Civil Works measurement were Geo-technical Work, Re-Wall, Environmental Protection, Sediment Basin and so on. Where as for M&E works we learned how to measure Cold Water system, Fire Protection system, Air Conditioning, Electrical Installation and etc. The main difference of this module compared to previous measurements is the method of measurement. For civil works, we have to refer to the Handbook Measurement called Malaysian Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (MYCESM) instead of our normal practice using Standard Method of Measurement 2 (SMM2). However, SMM2 is still applicable for M&E works. I find this module interesting due to the different method of measurement and be able to understand how to measure civil works and M&E works.
