Surveyingwas traditionally a science ofdetermining the relative positions ofpoints above, on or beneath the surfaceof the earth (both land and sea) throughcollection and analysis of data.

During the Industrial Revolution in the1800s, more people began to questionthe exact property boundaries and with

the increasing demand for publicinfrastructures like railroads, roads andbridges, surveying became in demand.

INTRODUCTION TO SURVEYING


4/44

A surveyor uses the science of measurement

to collect and analyse land and geographic

data.

Surveyors analysis, important to building,construction and real estate industries, and

used for planning and implementing solutions

for projects like building construction and land

development.

Surveyor co-ordinates analysis with the help

of engineers, architects, valuers and clients.



5/44

In short, a surveyor

1. Collects and analyses land and geographicinformation

2. Co-ordinates the usage of information inprojects with industry-related personnel likearchitects and engineers

3. Makes sure legal, economic,environmental and socialissues are takeninto account in the implementations ofproject solutions.

The surveying profession is multi-faceted with varied

disciplines.

Under The Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (ISM),the

surveying profession in Malaysia is divided into 4 maindivisions :

Land Surveying (LS)

Quantity Surveying (QS)

Building Surveying (BS)

Property Management, Valuation & Estate

Agency Surveying (PMVS)

~ QUANTITY SURVEYING~

QUANTITY SURVEYOR (QS) is a construction professional

QSis qualifiedand adequately trained to

adviseon all aspects of construction

costs, financial and contractualadministration

Advises the client on appropriate contract

arrangement as well as the legal

contract and conditions under which the

building will be constructed.


9/44

~ QUANTITY SURVEYING~ QS: Acting on behalf of the CLIENT Advises the Architect and

Engineer on the cost implications such as:

(i) different construction methods

(ii) alternative choice of materials and size

(iii) quality of the project.

To ensure that each element is reconciled with the cost plan

allowanceoverall project cost remains within the budget.

An experton thecostandmanagement of construction projects(a)building, (b) civil or (c) heavy engineering


10/44

~ QUANTITY SURVEYING~ Whenever any building project is proposed, it is important that

the cost involved is known in advance.

These include :

Site preparation cost

Construction

Labour

Material and plant costs

Professional fees, taxes andother charges

Running and maintenance

costs for the new building.


11/44


QSmust be able to assess

(i) Implications of changes in design,

(ii) Site conditions and working arrangements and

(iii) Give the client accurate budget and time estimates.

14/44

~ QUANTITY SURVEYING~ i) ESTIMATION:

ESTIMATION The process of calculation the quantities ofvarious items of work, and the expenses likelyto be incurred.

The estimated cost of a work is a close approximation of its

actual cost (by measuring)

Purpose to give the owner a reasonably accurate idea of

the cost to help him decide whether the work can be

undertaken as proposed or needs to be curtailed or abandoned,depending upon the availability of funds and prospective direct

and indirect benefits.


15/44


i) ESTIMATION (Contd):

Under-estimating client getting an unpleasant shock when

tenders are opened and drastically modifying or abandoning

the work at that stage

Over-estimating estimator will lose his client or his job, or in

any case his confidence.

This knowledge is usedconstruction

of new building with new design

Also based on Estimatorsexperienced

& knowledgesince it based on

architectural drawing


16/44


i) ESTIMATION (Contd):

Example: The cost of brickwork in a building would be determined asbelow:

(i) Cost of Material RM

(a) Brick

(b) Cement

(c ) sand

(d) Water

(ii) Labor Cost RM

(a) skilled

(b) Unskilled

(iii) Total of Material & Labor Cost RM

(iv) Cost of plant RM

(v) Cost of handling & transportation RM

(vi) Overhead & profit

TOTAL COST OF BRICKWORK RM


17/44


i) ESTIMATION(Contd):

By using this estimating knowledge, a QS will be able:

Preparation of preliminary cost estimates and cost plans

of the development project.

Advise on cost estimates in relation to design

development of a project.


18/44


ii) MEASUREMENT:

MEASUREMENT The process of controlling the construction

costby accurate measurement of the work required

MeasurementAlso known as TAKING-OFF

The quantities are measured from drawings

and specifications prepared by architects

and engineersknown as Billof

Quantities(BQs)

Purpose in order to prepare tender@ contract documents


19/44


ii) MEASUREMENT(Contd):

By using this measurementknowledge, a QS will be able:

To prepare the Bill of Quantities or Specification

document for tendering purposes.


20/44


ii) MEASUREMENT(Contd):

BQs are prepared in accordance to:

(a) Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works

(SMM 2)

(b) Malaysian Standard Method of Measurement of Civil Engineering

Works(CESMM)


21/44


iii) PROCUREMENT:

Generally PROCUREMENT refer to The action or process ofacquiring or obtaining material, property, or services at the

operational level for example, purchasing, contracting, and

negotiating directly with the source of supply

BUT, the term PROCUREMENT is widely used in different context

such as:

(i) Commerce

(ii) Defence

(iii) Construction


22/44


iii) PROCUREMENT (Contd):

CONSTRUCTION PROCUREMENTThe process of acquiring theconstruction project

7 main element of the process of construction procurement &

may be divided into 2 broad categories:

(a) Pre-Construction Stage (Before the Construction)

Initiation

There are 2 main types of system of CONSTRUCTION

PROCUREMENT in Malaysia such as:

(a) Traditional system

(b) Design & Build @ Turnkey system

Apart from that there are also a few newSystem like Management Based system

( Built, Operate, Transfer) and Innovative

System(PFI, Partnering, Privatisation)
