COURSE & PROGRAMME
OUTCOMES
CO1:
Evaluate bill of quantities for major elements of building and civil
engineering works in accordance with Malaysian Civil
Engineering Standard Methods of Measurement (myCESMM) 

PO2:
Identify and analyse well-defined engineering problems reaching
substantiated conclusions using codified methods of analysis
specific to their field of activity

LESSON OUTCOMES
 At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1) Prepare taking off sheet for concrete works, formwork &

reinforcement bar (beam/slab/foundation/stump/column)
2) Prepare bill of quantities for concrete works, formwork &
reinforcement bar (beam/slab/foundation/stump/column)

REINFORCEMENT
 Concrete is strong in compression, but week in tension.
Therefore reinforcements are used to strengthen the concrete in tension.
 The components of this category are:

i) Mild steel bars

ii) High tensile bars
iii) Reinforcing bars of other stated materials
iv) Special joints
v) High Tensile steel fabric
vi) Fabric of other stated materials

CONCRETE
 Concrete is the most important material in construction because the materials easily obtained
compare to other materials.
 The concrete is a construction material that composed of cement, aggregates, water and some
chemical admixtures.
 The work in concrete work comprises the following :

a) In situ concrete designed mix

b) In situ concrete prescribed mix
c) Precast concrete
d) Concrete ancillaries
e) Ancillary work for water retaining structure
 The items for concrete include supply, placing in forms or shuttering
vibrating and curing.
 Shuttering is measured by the area of concrete, which requires support
during setting.
 The items for shuttering include supply and erection, including all
necessary struts and bearer, treatment before concreting and removal
when the concrete has set.
 The items for reinforcement includes supply, bending to the shapes
shown on the bending schedules and fixing the reinforcement in the
works.
 Usually it is not possible to give the precise quantities of reinforcement
in the bill of quantities, as the detailed drawings are not available when
the bill is prepared and the quantities must be estimated
 FORMWORK
 Formwork is the mold for concrete, and its normally made of wood or steel.
 Formwork shall be measured for surfaces of in situ concrete which require temporary
support during casting, except where otherwise state.
 Formwork is to be measured based on whether it is for sides, soffit or sloping formwork.
 activities involve in the formwork operations are: -
1) fabricating
2) erecting
3) stripping
4) moving
5) cleaning
6) oiling
 At the time of take-off, the design of the forms does not have to be concerned since only
the area of formwork is measured, thus, the formwork shall be measured in square metre
of contact area
