Reference SU2101 Version 2
Created July 2021 SCQF Level SCQF 8
Approved October 2020 SCQF Points 30
Amended September 2021 ECTS Points 15

Aims of Module
To provide the student with the ability to integrate and consolidate the surveying skills studied in Stage 1 and Stage 2 modules.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Appraise design, technology and management solutions upon a simulated project.
2 Produce where appropriate relevant plans, documents, reports and advise upon a simulated project.
3 Apply knowledge of appropriate construction technology within the context of the project.
4 Prepare relevant cost advice upon a simulated project.

Indicative Module Content
This module is intended to simulate the pre contract phase of a construction project in order to allow the student to apply professional quantity surveying skills. This will be based upon group and individual working in a practical context. Information technology applications and software will be used where appropriate and students will be introduced to the influence of BIM on cost planning.

Module Delivery
This is a module predominantly involving practical work in relation to a project which may include, surveying, field and studio work and where appropriate site visits. Directed study to core texts and resource material will be encouraged.
