Content
SRE302 is designed for students to develop greater understanding of measurement and estimating principles and practices in commercial and industrial construction. Students will learn concepts including preliminaries, trade preambles, measurement and billing of quantities for a wide range of trades. They will develop and apply technical skills including the use of specialised computer software in compiling documentation and estimating of unit rates. The application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for measurement and estimating is encouraged in this unit.
