I have been posted to Brunsfield Headquarter office at TTDI on 17 May 2010. For the time being, i will be reporting to Mr. Wymund Khor, assistant QS in CCC department. CCC stands for Contract and Cost Control Department. This department mainly deals with QS issue , tender and contract awarding works. After spending 6 weeks in two different construction sites ( Ara Damansara & Kajang), i finally get a chance to practise my training in HQ office. Honestly, i can feel the huge difference about working in construction sites and in office. At site, i will be constantly dealing with different kinds of problems and the best part of all, i get to sweat a lot.Where else, in HQ, i will be sitting inside the chilling air-conditioned building and could hardly sweat unless i walk out for lunch in the afternoon. But nonetheless, the work burden is still the same and sometimes i have to extend my working hours.
In this CCC department, i will be assisting Wymund in dealing with the Subang Avenue project. Currently the project has been completed and we were busy preparing the final account for all the sub-contractors. I will be handling all the claim forms from the sub-contractors and help to prepare out the final claim sheets for payments. Besides that, i also learn to plan and make quantity for the project tenders. In doing so, i will have to do taking off materials based on the architectural plans. This is mainly the scope of job for a QS and i get a chance to learn something from this profession.
