Professional Practice 2

Generally, Professional Practice 2 is about understanding of construction contracts as it mainly cover the clauses in PAM Contract 2006. In this module, we were introduced to common law and other type of contracts. It is crucial for us as a future Quantity Surveyor to understand the law and practices in order to protect ourselves and to make decision accordingly.

We had a midterm test where it tests on our understanding towards this subject. Apart from that, weekly presentations were held where everyone is given opportunity to present during tutorial sessions. The presentation tests on our understanding based on the lecture taught and prevent last minute reading. Besides, it provides a platform for us to raise questions and to ensure effective discussions. Mr Eddie Lim as well gives real life examples where theories are put into real life practice.

Apart from that, we have been assigned to carry out Coursework 2 which is about final account and solving real life disputes. To tackle these questions, we are to analyse the situations and find a solution by clauses support. Instead of discussing among the group members, we as well seek for advises from seniors from our previous internship companies where their advises are much helpful in our finding.

It can’t be deny that I have learnt a lot from Mr Eddie Lim as in real life examples, not to mention a better understanding of clauses in PAM Contract. It is crucial for us to understand the professional practices in the construction industry. Thus, I would like to thank Mr Eddie Lim for his continuous support and knowledge sharing.
