Figure 2 Area of expertise covered

Throughout my Industrial Training period, I have been given tasks related to Quantity Surveyor’s
field, starting from pre-contract stage until post-contract stage. These tasks given surely have something
to do with what I have learned during 3 and half year studies in the University of Malaya.

Based on Figure 1, I have covered 8 out 14 areas as listed in the requirement which are; Post
Contract Cost Control, Pre-Construction, Public Development Policy, Project Management, Construction
Contract Operations, Construction Services, Contract Administration and Building Information Modelling
(BIM).

Most of the time, I have been given the task related to our core subjects such as Measurement
of Construction Works, Construction Law, Professional Practice and Project Management. It comes to
my attention that it is important to be well prepared with information regarding the project we are
involved in before going out to the meeting. A part of that, it is no doubt that communication among
construction players are vital to avoid some misunderstanding. Also, it is quite fascinating to learn new
software such as Binalink for taking off works as it gets to strengthen my skills with IT Management in
Construction. Being trusted to present the firm by going to site valuation and prepare recommendation
for interim payment is such an eye opening on real life Quantity Surveyor’s nature of work.

i. Pre-construction

At this stage, I involved in preparing tender documents for various projects, be it

residential sector or even infrastructure sector. The task given requires me to be
more particular when preparing the tender documents as accordance to the client
needs. Few amendments encountered during the preparation stage. Besides, I even
get to attend the open tender session for additional visitor carpark project. Most
importantly, I also get to involve in the taking off process for minor elements such as
timber floor finish and softscape works for residential building. During completing the
task, I have encountered few problems but eventually managed to get it done in time.

ii. Contract Administration

In this area, I was required to attend tender clarification meeting for the additional
visitor carpark project. The purpose of this event is to clarify any misunderstanding or
to hear out suggestion from the tenderers. It is an important event as it will help the
consultant team to amend unforeseen things.

iii. Construction Contract Operations

This area focuses on the preparation and review of sub-contract tenders. As for that,
I have attended materials presentation to find the best waterproofing method to be
installed in roofing system. I have also prepared tender documents for nominated-
sub contractor for the proposed softscape works for residential project.

12



iv. Post Contract Cost Control

This area focused on the costing and financial management which includes the
carrying out of interim valuations and dealing with claims. As I have been to site
valuation myself, most of the recommendation of the interim payments is prepared
by me with guidance by my supervisor. It is crucial to carefully conduct valuation to
avoid any underpayment or overpayment to the contractor.

v. Project Management

This area covers the aspect of managing a construction project whereby it is required
for me to get updated with issues involved in development of the construction project
as well as the related technical and legal implications. It includes project coordination
as well as monitoring and budget control along the construction period. To cater with
this requirement, I have been actively involved in both site meetings and client-
consultant every 2 weeks to get updated on the progress works for Elmina Project
Phase G3C (residential sector).

vi. Public Development Policy

Even though ARH Jurukur Bhan Sdn Bhd is in the private sector, they also involved
in many public infrastructure projects. As for myself, I have been involved in the
taking off process for the construction of sewerage treatment plant as well as
attending valuation for MRR2 project. Covering this area has taught me some of the
regulatory requirements in handling private sector’s project in comparison to the
public sector itself.

vii. Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Even though I have only spent few hours in this area, it is merely enough for me to
understand the basic skills to use new software in short period of time.

3.2.2 Background Issue

Issue: Material Selection and Evaluation before Tender Process

In a construction, it is essential to select a suitable material to be used, especially for high rise
building. A part of considering the type of building to be constructed, it is also important for the
project team to consider the site location, as certain part in Malaysia will gone through monsoon
season which in southwest (late May to September) and northwest (November to March). As for
this particular project, since it is located in Pekan, Pahang, the raining season occurs during the
months from November to March due to the north-east monsoon season. It happens to be the
high level of tabulation rain and has caused a minor destruction to the roofing system.

The issue arose when the building was facing some serious leakage problem even the building
has not been there for a long time. The client was aware of this and highlighted this problem to
the new project team. Originally, the building has adopted a flat roof system which includes
waterproofing. It is uncertain to the project team whether the design is incompetent or the
quality of the waterproofing substance is at stake.

Therefore, the client has instructed the Consultant to come up with the best solution which suit
tender budget allocated by their management amounting to RM 600,000.00 for the said trade. In
addition, one of the floor below roof structure is currently closed due to the leakage problem. It
is expected that overall tender process up to tender award and completion of project will be at
the soonest to avoid jeopardizing the building function.

15



3.2.3 Solutions

Several options were presented to the client before the decision was made. Materials
presentation was held at DRB-HICOM in Subang Jaya to evaluate the best material to be used
for the proposal of the new roof.

i. Option A - Re-waterproofing

Item Description Remarks

1. Material Pentens SPU-1000 Advantages
2. Durability • Eco-friendly
• High elasticity
• Strong and tough, extremely
high mechanical properties
• Hard wearing
• Outstanding impact
resistance
• No abnormality even
submerges in water for a long
time
• Fast set return to service in
minute
3. Cost Area = 1,255m2
Cost/m2 for roofing works including
all associated works
= RM 239,150.00/m2

ii. Option B – Metal Deck Roof

Item Description Remarks

1. Material Metal Sheet
2. Durability • Can withstand wind up to 140
mph
• No corrosion and crack
• Impact resistant
• Made up of recycled material
and can be recycled
• Rain and snow shedding
• Easy installation
3. Cost Area= 2,450m2
Cost for roofing works including all
associated works= RM 551,695.00

16



3.2.4 Recommendation and reason for the selection

Since the main purpose of tendering this project is to find the best possible material to withstand
the extreme weather in the area, Option B is chosen in respect due to the followings:

i. Material specification

Metal sheet roofing is relatively competent material to withstand such extreme

weather due to its high wind and impact resistant. As for the location wise, the
roofing system able to shed heavy rain and is suitable to be used during monsoon
season within that area. Moreover, metal can be an electrical conductor, but in
contrast, metal roofing does not attract lightning, nor is it any more likely to be struck
than any other type of roofing. This material is also highly resistant to fire. The
material is also can be easily installed especially for this building which has quite big
area.

ii. To avoid recurring leakage

Since it is uncertain on the major cause of the leakage problem, it is unlikely to be

the cause of waterproofing itself as the previous roofing system had also includes
waterproofing system on it.

iii. Within the stipulated budget

As discussed with the Client, their management will approve quickly the tender
requisition even though the cost implication on choosing this option is relatively
higher than Option A has to offer since this option is still under budget. If the tender
amount is not exceeding their budget. Thus, this will not hinder the target to operate
the floor below roof structure as soon as possible.

17



3.2.5 Implication on selected option

Roof failure is the deterioration of structural components caused by water intrusion. The use of
flat roof system is unsuitable for certain area due to their high tabulation rain. There is high
tendency for water puddle to occur on flat roof system.

Hence as a result, the client proposed to construct a new pitch roof above the existing concrete
roof slab by using metal sheet roofing for this project.

Based on the material presentation, the Client has decided to continue with the tender process
using metal roof spec in near time. They are more concern on tackling the leakage issue rather
than costing matter. However, below is the result of both supplier presentation in term of moiety:

Table 4 Supplier's presentation in term of moiety

Item Description Supplier Price Management Different Percentage

(RM) Budget (RM) (RM) (%)

1. Waterproofing 239,150.00 600,000.00 (360,850.00) 60.00

2. Metal roofing 551,695.00 600,000.00 (48,305.00) 8.00

The location of this project influenced the choice of material that has been proposed. For
example, the selection of roof covering must take into consideration the surrounding
environment as the site is located near the coastal area of South China Sea.

18



3.2.6 Lesson Learnt

i. Proper planning

The main purpose of proper planning is to achieve the most expected result such as
design relative to a set of prioritized criteria or constraints as per client’s requirement.
These include maximizing factors such as productivity, strength, reliability, longevity,
efficiency and utilization. Planning helps in choosing a better option to cater with any
problem arises. A QS should strengthen their management skills in order to perform
better and provide the team with a reliable time schedule to be followed to avoid any
discrepancies.

ii. Coordination between Consultants

A project could run smoothly if the project team perform a great teamwork to make it
happen. Every consultant appointed by the Client should play their role into their
optimum level and open for discussion with other team players. The designers
should take into consideration on every aspect, a part of focusing on the aesthetical
value itself. The Engineer should give the best advice on the material aspects,
considering the location of the site, the weather and site surrounding. A better
material proposal shall then be submitted to the QS for estimation. QS should look
thoroughly on both materials and cost in order to provide the best estimates to
presented to the Client.

iii. Knowledge on the material

Knowledge on construction technology is as important as having the knowledge to

estimate budget and provide measurement in any construction project. As a QS, the
process of choosing materials might not be part of our major concern as the
Engineer would give their points of view on this, however, we might need to have
knowledge on choosing a better offer which gives minimum implication on cost, time
or performance in a long run.

3.3.2 Main issue

Issue: Preparation of Variation Order (VO)

A variation order (VO) is any change or modification to the design, quality or scope of work that
is subject to an agreement with respect to the volume or nature of work carried out. VOs can be
caused either by the consultant, contractor or the employer himself. Since the project is using
PAM 2006 Form of Contract, problems encountered will be risen up and the Architect shall
issue VO on that particular problem. Raised VO will be subjected to re-measurement; thus, it
will have some cost impact on the construction cost, be it addition or it can be in form of
omission.

As for this particular project, there was a major platform level different approximately 2.3m high
between the TNB substation and the main road behind it. There was no indication of separate
level in the contract drawing until it was highlighted by the Main Contractor to the
Superintendent Officer (S.O.) through Request for Information (RFI) during construction. The
RFI is required for confirmation of any discrepancies in order to proceed with the work. It was
later found out that the slope at the TNB substation need to be protected at all cost to ensure it
is safe to the people around it. The client was aware on this and has required us to minimize the
implication of variation order towards the overall contract.

According to PAM 2006 Form of Contract, one of the alterations and modifications include the
addition, omission or substitution of any work except for the changes due to the rectification of
negligence, omission, default and/or breach of contract by the Contractor. All of the changes
stated shall be borne by the Contractor himself. Once the VO was raised to the Architect’s
attention, the Architect will issue and Architect’s Instruction (AI) ordering a Variation or
sanctioning the Variation made by the Contractor. Based on PAM 2006 Form of Contract, the
VO will not vitiate the Contract. Any pending on the valuation of Variations will cause the
Contractor to bear the cost and expenditure all Variations that have been instructed.

21



3.3.3 Solutions

Several options were presented to the client before the decision made. All two options given
were based on discussion with the S.O. and Engineer.

i. Option A - To build a retaining wall behind the TNB substation.

The relevant drawing was handed over to us for further estimation.

Item Description Remarks

1. Cost Proposed estimate;
Excavation: 72m3 x RM16.50 =
RM1,1188.00
Concrete: 54m3 x RM242.50 =
RM13,095.00
Formwork: 153m2 x RM28.00 =
RM4,284.00
Rebar: 3.113kg x RM2.70 = RM8,405.10

TOTAL = RM26,972.10
2. Time Required 2 weeks to complete
3. BP Drawings As advised by Engineer, no submission of
new layout to the Authority is needed

ii. Option B - To lower down main road level to suit TNB platform level.

A set of sketches brief method statement by engineer were given to the QS;

Item Description Remarks

1. Cost Proposed estimate;
Excavation: 1,380m3 x RM16.50 =
RM22.770.00
Realign Drain: 35m x RM150.00 =
RM5,250.00

TOTAL = RM28,020.00
2. Time Required 3 weeks to complete
3. BP Drawings As advised by Engineer, there will be no
requirement for revised layout.

22



3.3.4 Recommendation and reason for the selection

As the project was in tight schedule which they need to hand over the project in another 3 months’ time,
option A is adopted for the following reason;

i. Time Constraint

It is a priority to take the fastest completion time to avoid any extension of time. Based on
two options stated, Option A is the most suitable to adopt in order to comply with the
handing over due date. In comparison to Option B, Option A only takes about 2 weeks to be
completed while Option B needs extra 7 days to be completed.

ii. Cost Impact

In terms of cost, both options offer between RM 25,000.00 to RM 29,000.00. Since the client
has highlighted on minimizing the implication of VO, Option A is the best option to fulfill this
requirement. Option A offers a total of RM 26,972.10 is allocated for the construction RC
retaining wall compared to Option B which offers a total of RM 28,020.00 to lower down the
road level.

iii. Safety Issue

Option A offers a lower cost and time implication which both have fulfilled the client’s
requirement which is to minimize the implication of variation order towards the overall
contract sum. RC retaining wall used for slope protection can be useful in ensuring site
safety to its surrounding. Option B on the other hand require a lot of works to be done such
as demolition of the existing roads and pavements in order to lower down the road level to
suit with the TNB substation level. Hence, Option A is recommended to be implied as a VO
for this project.

23



3.3.5 Implication on selected option

As a result, the contractor has submitted a claim for provision of RC retaining wall behind TNB
substation as instructed by the Client. The amount of Variation Order will be finalized once the
works have completed and joint measurement will be done accordingly.

In compliance to the safety issue, the authority (TNB) require the client to complete all external
works before TNB supply electricity to the housing area has been catered while at the same
time the project team managed to ensure site safety to the user later on. On the other hand, as
it is a provision to add the RC retaining wall, hence there are not just cost implication but also it
has affected the time provided as accordance to the work program.

24



3.3.6 Lesson Learnt

i. To have a basic technical knowledge

In order to come out with a better solution, QS should have at least a basic technical
knowledge. This will help the individual to evaluate and put into consideration every
aspect including the structural part or the design part. For example, Option B
requires one to consider the flow of foul water during rainy days which might cause
flood at the end of the day due to inappropriate action taken to lower down the road
level.

ii. Proper planning

A proper planning needed to be done during the discussion with the clients on their
requirement on certain project. Even if every project is subjected to unforeseen
circumstances to happen, a proper planning should minimize the impact at the later
stage. For example, team players should play their role to the optimum and provide
the best suggestion and advice to the client.

iii. Roles of QS

QS have been trained professionally and among those who are qualified and have sufficient
experienced in dealing with anything related to construction cost, management and
communication on behalf of the Client. Dealing with VO are part of bread and butter in QS
profession. QS must provide a better judgement when VO has been issued based on Client’s
requirement.

25



CONCLUSION

Within short period of time, I have learned so much from my supervisor as well as my
colleagues who have been very helpful all along. Most importantly, the knowledge they shared
by answering my never-ending questions are very useful for me to be used to complete the task
given.

During my training period, I have been to so many places with different kind of purpose.
To name a few, I have been to Oasis Damansara for pre-site possession meeting, open tender
process as well as to attend tender clarification meeting, either by myself or with my colleague.
Getting to know people from different area of expertise is very an eye-opening. I get to witness
how the meeting was conducted, and how every construction players play their role, including
the Quantity Surveyor itself. Things discussed were clearly being stated to avoid
miscommunications, as well as to justify yourself when being asked. To that, I learned that
communication is the key to ensure a smooth progress during discussion. Teamwork is also
vital to get things done as per requirement and within time given. Any discrepancies discussed
will be negotiated properly and professionally.

A part of that, I get to experienced being a QS myself when attending meetings with
client. One thing I get to learn from my experience is that, time management is equally important
as communication. Being late to a meeting is not something to be easily let slide aside. Learning
to respect other’s time is vital in order for others to respect ours. Every person has their own
other commitment to be fulfilled, thus being early in the meeting needed to be implemented into
practice. Moreover, every task given has its own due date. Getting the task done in time let you
to discover many other things in one day and not only that one particular task.

Last but not least, I also learned that QS's scope of works is not only limited into being a
consultant but also to be a contractor or developer. It may differ in certain area but most QS
regardless their field will be needed to provide the same services.
