    7. Test paper.

  • 1. The course will give you an understanding of the SMM7 section D50 underpinning, E10 concrete requirement. E20 formwork and E30 reinforcement calculation and measurement. Explain the difference between preliminary trench and underpinning pits. How to apply these methods from drawn information to allow the taking-off of quantities. And from the take-off to preparation of the bill of quantities production.

    2. Provided is a pdf drawing for the example paper together with an excel file showing the method for the taking-off and bill of quantities.

    3. Two pdf drawings are provided for the assignment paper together with an excel file showing the method for the taking-off and bill of quantities.

    4. Also included with the course material is a word.doc showing the measurement procedures on the dimension sheet and the BCIS (Building Cost Information Service) format for the bill of quantity elements.

    5. A blank excel workbook is included in the materials provided for the taking-off and producing the bill of quantities.

  • 1. Read and become familiar with section D50 and E10 of SMM7 and the Code of Measurement.

    2. Work through the example paper referring to the drawn information and D20, E10, E20, E30 of SMM7.

    3. Attempt the assignment paper without referring to the model answer.

    4. When completed the assignment check your paper against the model answer. If necessary, refer to the documents to ensure you fully understand the paper.

    5. Finally answer the test paper and email to kenhubble@hotmail.com for assessment.

    6. After completing the module and received a pass mark in the test paper the learner will receive a Certificate.

  • 1. You will have a deepen your understanding of underpinning works.

    2. You will understand the difference between preliminary trench and underpinning pits. How to calculate the width allowance.

    3. Why it is important to check scale of drawings, particularly horizontal and vertical before starting entering measurements.

    4. How to measure bar reinforcement from drawings.

    5. Gained knowledge of SMM7 sections D Groundwork and E In situ concrete / Large precast concrete.

    6. You will have gained an understanding and how to measure and produce a bill of quantities for the BCIS section 1A

    7. Completing this Module will strengthen your resume and highlight your commitment to professional development.
