Description

Assessment, description and measurement, in accordance with ARM of Mechanical and Electrical Installations to domestic buildings : Mechanical - plant, equipment, pipework, ductwork, insulation; Electrical - equipment, cabling, circuits, conduiting, ducting, telecoms, alarm; Builder's Work to both 'M' and 'E'; PC Sums, Profit, Attendances, Builder's Work to 'specialist' subcontractors. Measurement software will be an essential element of the learning practice in this module.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Assess, describe and measure, in accordance with ARM, Mechanical Installations (plumbing, heating) to domestic building

Analyse, describe and measure, in accordance with ARM, 'Builder's Work' to Mechanical Installations to domestic building

Assess, describe and measure, in accordance with ARM, Electrical Installations to domestic building

Analyse, describe and measure, in accordance with ARM, 'Builder's Work' to Electrical Installations to domestic building

Build Bill of Quantity PC Sum items with associated 'profit' and/or 'attendances' and/or 'builder's work' in connection with specialist work to be carried out by a Nominated Sub-Contractor or special materials to be supplied by a Nominated Supplier

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. This will include online lectures (via adobe connect or similar), and guest lectures augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach addresses student learning needs. Moodle will be used to upload educational material (i.e. presentations and recordings of online lectures plus supplementary reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals). This blended approach brings students together to facilitate group learning.
