Im good enough at my job! Dont really need a certificate to say so :look:
Most people I speak to say that the stuff they learned in their degree is mostly irrelevant to their job - QS's btw!!
I will have to see whats happening at the time, Ive got a year to think about it :boggle:

Lol. I had to do Statistics, micro and macro economics and Constitutional & admin Law (Think thats its name) in my first year. Whats that got to do with surveying?! As my course got more advanced it gets more relevant tho.

Think yourself lucky your not at uni. I had a m8 that done Quantity surv but they have do another course along side it.

1) Building services and Quantity Surv or
2) Building Economics and QS.

What I did find tho that, even tho I hated it at the time, doing these kinds of subjects does help later on in other subjects. It'll fall into place at some time Avey m8.

Nah, was only kiddin m8 :P
College seriously pisses me off, most of the shite that I learn about at college has no relevance to my job :mad:
Im a QS btw :wave:

Oh rite. You could have pm'd me. Sorry buddy I dont. TBH you would be better to do the work in the long term. Seriously it aint worth doing anything dodgy as this determines how the rest of your life goes if ya get wat I mean.

T5POL - Im currently finishing my 1st year on the HNC, was just wondering if u knew any sites that sold *cough* dodgy *cough* certificates?
Mainly because I cant be arsed to do the rest of the work :o

pm'd you AVEY.

thank u all :thumbs: got it finished cheers

I dont quite understand what you mean Avey? Have you completed your course? or are you looking to start a course?

T5POL - Could u recommend any sites that sell HNC & Degree certificates :boggle:

If you need any help just give us a shout m8.

Yeah would be Design & Build since:

The project does not have a high uncertainty. Its basically a simple frame construction and its repeated 12 times.

D&B can also be termed Integrated coalition or single point responsibility. The risk of the project is transferred to the supplier.

Just completed my hons in Building Surveying. Would recommend this book:

Managing Construction Projects by Graham Winch.

cheers :thumbs:

The main disadvantage of D&B contracts is that variations are at a minimum! Any discrepencies need to be brought up before the contract commences :thumbs:
I did a similar assignment a while ago, just checked my PC (At work) but it must be at home :( Give us a shout if u need any further info :)

yeah avey just copied and pasted from the work mate gave me :thumbs:

thats what am doing just now. just finishin my hnd. whats the money like??

I would have said the Design & Build contract, as all of the buildings will be similar!!
Do u have to state Advantages & Disadvantages :boggle:

im an architectural technician, architect comes up with an idea, he draws a sketch, then i draw it up, put it in for planning, then turn it into a working drawing so a builder can build it from the drawing and get building regulations for it

its cool as long as i give some reasons its sorted cheers :thumbs: so what is it u do?

please dont take my word for it matey, i woudl hate it to be wrong, i think as a company we dot like to get too involved on site, but i just asked one of our architects and he said it could be a number of them depending on whos involved etc, but said most likely design and build

thats sounds good enough for me. cheers now a just need to fill it out with some rubbish out a book :thumbs:

Design And build, at a guess, we do no end of supermarket work, we design co-ops and they are always done on this contract, dont quote me though cos from what i see we seem to do things different round here,

i got the choice of:

traditional
design and build
managment contract
measured term contract
prime cost contract
jont ventures and
partenering

does ny1 no what type of construction contract would be used when building 12 new supermarkets for a multinational food group???
please help :(
