Professional Practice II
Continuing from the module of the previous semester, professional practice aims to expose students to the practices of a professional Quantity Surveyor, teaching students the further roles and responsibilities of the career outside the calculating. In contrast with Professional Practice I, this module focuses more on studying the PAM Form of Contract 2006, an essential part of a Malaysian-based Quantity Surveyor in the procedures to be done in different situations such as Delays or disputes.
The topics of this module consists of studying Disputes, Delays, Claims, Setting-off, Partial Posession, Penultimate & Final Certificate, Final Accounts, Determination, Arbitration & Adjudication, Insurance, CIPAA & JKR Form, all of which, except for the latter two, focuses on the PAM Form of Contract 2006. The module's assessment consists of a mid-term test, a presentation of a chosen topic, a FIDIC Workshop and a final exam.
The module is taught by the experienced Mr. Eddie Lim, who displayed a very knowledgable persona to us students throughout the semester. As I have also felt for the first part of this module, I feel that this module is one of the most important modules along with measurements because it teaches the material essential to us in the working field. I also enjoyed studying this module very much.
Group Assignment - FIDIC Workshop
The FIDIC workshop is a newly established workshop by SABD that involves the study on FIDIC Form of Contract, a Form of Contract widely used around the world, that it is essential for Quantity Surveying students to learn. This Workshop consists of talks regarding FIDIC Form by Euginie Lip, a Quantity Surveyor hailing from Singapore, as well as a group assignment to answer a series of situational questions that is followed by conducting a presentation in front of Ms. Euginie Lip and other BQS lecturers. The group assignment includes working with our Semester 6 seniors, who were also involved in the talks.
I was oddly picked as the group leader for the semester 5 group, but I worked hard regardless and thankfully with an equally hard-working team, the assignment and presentation went through, not quite perfectly, but it was a valuable memorable experience nonetheless.
