This course contains the concept of the importance of understanding each construction method to gain result in compliance with the specification given in the contractual document which include the description in method statement: land clearing and bow plank preparation, earthworks, shallow foundation (footing), deep foundation (bored pile, driven pile), wall work and cussion setting, scaffolding and formwork, concrete structure reinforcement, planning and execution of concrete work, roof structure, precast concrete.

The students are expected to be able to understand the construction process from preliminary works to finishing works.
