Welcome to Quantity Surveying and Construction Procurement

Assalamualaikum and dear all,

This blog compliments teaching and learning for courses that I facilitate at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The contents serve to further 'connect' students to the 'real world' (quantity surveying, construction procurement and others). In trying to provide current information to students, I will be quoting or reproducing works of others and for this I am grateful. I will indicate clearly the source(s). I hope I will not offend anyone; and many will frequent this blog and benefit from its contents.

Thank you and wassalam.

Estimating for construction works: Roti canai, just 20 sen?

Salam and dear all,
  1. Roti canai, nasi lemak, teh tarik, etc are famous in Malaysia.
  2. So I hope this article Roti canai, just 20 sen? (NST, 13th June 2010), provides good reading on how to understand the principle of estimating for construction works.
  3. Quantity surveying students learning courses such as estimating, analysis of prices, tendering, etc take note that prices of construction works include costs of materials, plant and equipment, labour, wastage, overhead, profit and other strategic issues and these aspects on cost (not the amount) are more or less the same as those in the food and catering industry.
  4. Many thanks to NST, the authors of the article and others for having a facility to share the article.
Wassalam.
