300 words.

AWAKENING AS ONE!!

As a professional surveyor, we must show good behavior towards all people. It is not to say hypocritical, but we must act as a professional. As a professional surveyor, we should spread the info that fact, true and correct to the entire world. If we heard the latest news, most surveyors have been doing such despicable acts like corruption and so on. As a one of a professional surveyor, we should avoid these activities. In the sense of leadership, a surveyor must lead to a job as possible. Leadership in terms of fairness should be applied within a surveyor. Honesty in their work will result in quality as well. Not only the surveyor, but every human act must be applied with a good nature for the welfare of mankind. Surveyor must also apply the value of leadership in disseminating the correct information and facts to the world. A surveyor must be confident that each works for all our actions will affect everyone who deals with a surveyor. If we are dealing with good and full of leadership, clients will be interested and would often give us the opportunity to work. With this will definitely improve the quality of our work that is very challenging indeed. We all believe that every religion forbids us as guilty of corruption deceit and so, so, the blessings will be accessible to all people if we are obedient and do what is right in our lives. A surveyor also must always be alert to the fluctuating prices of construction equipment as if we were so engrossed, would be one in the costs calculations. So, a surveyor must apply the leadership in spread factual info to the world and the moral values such as honesty, sensitivity and others to solve a task to get the blessings of life.


1500 WORDS.

SPREAD FACTUAL INFO TO THE WORLD.!!

Spread the factual info to the world. Is it possible for the Quantity Surveyor to expose all the detail financing, management detail and etc. to the world to throw away the paradigm that the QS always involve in corruption and bride. There are differences scopes of view and as QS, we need to make a transition or many people always said the transformation. The mind shift or the soul shift or the paradigm shift should be created in order for the QS to escape from the bad paradigm.

As a professional quantity surveyor, we need to evaluate the price of materials. We can estimate the cost of materials through tender document. We need to consider about the quality and prices of the materials in the market whether it is valuable. Then, we can consult our clients and recommend them the precious composition. It is better to choose the materials that are in good quality although the prices are slightly different. We have to know that as the materials that in use is high quality we can save in the maintenance cost. On the other way, the maintenance cost will be high if the materials that used in construction is low. Furthermore, we need to re-evaluate the salary is being pay to the contractor at the correct amount and period. This is to ensure the efficiency of work. If they are being pay under the amount that they expected, they might felt that their hard work are not worth for that. Thus they will become lazy for the next construction work or else just carelessly help you to done the work. Same as when they are being pay more. We need to give the reasonable reason so that they wont feel any uncomfortable. For example as a bonus when they work during some kind of festivals. Most important is that we have to ensure that the project does not run over budget or beyond the contracted time frame as this could lead to damages being sought on behalf of the owner. Construction arbitration enables comparative evaluation of the performance of a project over its operating life. The life cycle costing evaluation considers factors like reusability, sustainability, maintainability, and aspects of the constructed facility. It also assesses the maintenance costs, initial capital costs, operational costs, and residual and disposal costs. We may also give suggestions on procurement methods like selecting the right kinds of contractors and suppliers. We also provide suggestions on tendering, give contractual advice, and do valuation of construction work. Clients can expect to cost control and financial management and seek insurance advice from our quantity surveyor

One of the roles of a quantity surveyor is to estimating, control and manages the costing of a construction project. This would include the new builds, renovations or maintenance work. From easily design costs to final figures, quantity surveyor seek to minimize the cost of the project and enhance value of money whilst ensuring that the project meets all legal quantity assurance requirements. The document tender involving the expense should be reliable and trustworthy according to the provision in the Law of Construction. Trustworthy, honest and have good communication as well as presentation skill is the basis principle should be underlie for a QS. Quantity surveyor also council the project director, owner and contractor on cost and budget to keep the pricing as well as the time frames, reasonable for all parties involved. They ensure all the work is complete within the building standard. Apart from that, quantity surveyor’s duties related to the costing typically include conducting feasibility studies to estimate materials, time and labour cost. Secondly preparing negotiating and analyzing cost for tender and contract and also valuing complete work and arrangement payment. Other than that, quantity surveyor require to familiar with specific for buildings, health concern and safety regulation. This person is also very thorough, pay attention in detail and quick problem solver. A quantity surveyor should has the ability to find the solution to overcome the consequent carved by the increase of price of the materials during the construction work progressing. Overall, the truth must be exerted by a QS as this is a very sensitive issue in the aspect of economic, politic and social. In this era, the world is full of the falsehood, some of the peoples are willing betray their own principle in order to take their own advantage because the insatiable attitude. I think this is easily happen among the firm related with construction. Corruption, cheated happen will bring a big consequence to the social for example building collapse that would sacrifice thousands of human life and properties. Hence, the mind shift should be emphasized to rectify the work ethic of quantity surveyor.

As a professional surveyor, we must show good behavior towards all people. It is not to say hypocritical, but we must act as a professional. As a professional surveyor, we should spread the info that fact, true and correct to the entire world. If we heard the latest news, most surveyors have been doing such despicable acts like corruption and so on. As a one of a professional surveyor, we should avoid these activities. In the sense of leadership, a surveyor must lead to a job as possible. Leadership in terms of fairness should be applied within a surveyor. Honesty in their work will result in quality as well.

So, a surveyor must apply the leadership in spread factual info to the world and the moral values such as honesty, sensitivity and others to solve a task to get the blessings of life.

Quantity surveying is all about cost management of construction. Thus, management skill and responsibility is needed when working as quantity surveyor. Quantity Surveyor primarily assesses the capital expenditure of a building or a facility after evaluating the feasibility, design and construction costs. In order to master management skill in quantity surveying field, quantity surveyor need to undergo multi-level of learning started with basic skill. The scope of work of a quantity surveyor is vast since the construction industry is global in nature. So, several of interpersonal skills are needed in order to deal with different situation. The first level of management skill is basic skills. There are four basic management skills which are plan, organize, direct and control. Quantity surveyor need to plan strategic on what they need to be done first because they have to work under pressure of deadlines near and staying claim. The second basic skill is organized a tasks and construction project. Quantity surveyor have to provide site support in matters like billing schedule, interim payments, and reconciling final accounts as well as settling construction claims. So, all the works have to be organize to get better results. Besides, they also should direct and control expenditure of the project during its entire life period.

The second level of management skill is team building skills. In construction field, all people have to work as a team to bring success in construction project. Quantity surveyors have to be professional in conduct and competence. So, they have to motivate each member in construction project especially in cost management of construction and finance management. When working as a team, everyone have to responsible and accountable for their action. Next, the third level of management skills is personal development. It divided into two types which is self-management and time management. In self-management, quantity surveyor have to do their job best and stay focused that are truly important and not just urgent especially when they managing contractual document with suppliers of various items. They have to stay focused because quantity surveyor needs to have good attention to detail. Time management is very important when quantity surveyor have to done their work before deadlines. Lastly, the top level is leadership. Quantity surveyor have to advise clients about the cost of construction project. Leadership is clearly shown when they negotiating with interested parties and relating to people from different sprata.

There are many steps and path in designing the building until to the construction of the building. A lot of work to do and sometimes there are many obstacles to complete it. Construction industries may involve many people and a lot money on it. As a quantity surveyor, we should take these responsibilities as honour as we can. Nowadays, there are many news about the building damage because of the material use are not in quality. Is it the surveyor especially quantity surveyor responsibility? As a qualified and registered QS, we should take care of such thing. Many people said that Qses involving in the corruption of money and bride. These paradigm has been talking for a long time and these thought should be change as a responsibilities of QS to calculate and survey cost management of construction. We need to spread the entire fact and the new paradigm to the world. The QS should show the good ethics in work and transparent, trust and truthful in work. By monitoring the all the detail in the construction industries, surely all the financial of the industries will just right and all the project will run smoothly. If the Quantity Surveyor play their role as good as they can, surely the economic of the country will be maybe slightly change to be better because all the money provided are being used in such a truth and honour calculative .

its all about TODAY!

Today we were shown a video about the 2012 disaster. The video will surely make us more prepared and motivated to continue project that have been given to us that is RAFT!! haha.

DR. ILIAS SAID'S TALK!!

We were shocked by the news that touching all of us upon one of the senior HBP has passed away several days ago. The deceased lived in Jerteh, Terengganu have died while sleeping after SUBUH PRAYER!. Dr. Ilias told us that the deceased was an intelligent person, strong spirit and very discipline person. A very sad death because there is no sign or any suspicious of the death. This story truly makes us always remember and be aware of the incident that will be happen anytime,anywhere later we confronted. Dr. Ilias also very angry with "makcik-makcik" because when Mr. Wan Burhanudin give a talk, they also busy talked about Hari Raya. Students should pay attention when people give a talk in front. All of us must focus and do not take granted when someone give a talk in front.

LOOKING BACK!!

We asked to see back again when we had registered as a student at USM. In my opinion, i looked toward the sacrifices my parents that worked very and very hard for me just to enroll at USM. I thank to ALLAH because give me a parents that are very concerned about their son. I promise to work hard to achieve success, and will be a useful son.

LOOKING FORWARD!!

I look forward on how can i help and contribute in future disaster 2012. I had sketched a water filter made of Moringa Olefeira Seeds, so it is very suitable to have in the house. Moringa Olefeira Seeds is very useful because it is a biodegradable that can be use in our daily life. This water filter can recycle the water from wash water, waste water to be use again. So, in the disaster, this water filter very useful since as a normal human, we need more water to continue our daily life. So, this water filter will be very useful and i have done my contribution in 2012 disaster.!

SURVIVAL KIT FOR "IBU".!

In this assignment, I was choose a rather challenging topic of "Moringa oleifera seeds"A BIODEGRADABLE, ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY AND HEALTHIER COAGULANT. I be heading to designed in a "pondok" that was given. "Pondok" are able to float when the sea level higher. so people can not leave the house to get a supply. So, the water filter capable of recycling water as wash water, bath water and waste water to be recycled into clean water and can be used. This method is provide adequate water supplies to "pondok".




This filter is used to filter the water as waste water, food and water. This filter can be used within 40 days of using natural ingredients in this Moringa seeds olefeira. So, this material must be able to stop within 40 days and 40 nights.

the advantages of this filter is not polluting the environment. Sustainability is a priority in the production of things.
