Attendees who visited the UTAR Open Day at Sungai
Long Campus with an interest in job prospects were extended a unique
opportunity to delve into the realm of 3D modelling. Organised on 13 April
2024 by UTAR STEM Outreach, the “3D Modelling in Quantity Surveying”
workshop provided participants with a hands-on experience aimed at equipping
them with valuable skills in this innovative field.
Throughout the workshop, led by Lee Kong Chian
Faculty of Engineering and Science (LKC FES) Sr Dr Lim Cheng Sim, attendees
had the chance to not only grasp the fundamentals of 3D modelling but also
explore its practical applications within the domain of Quantity Surveying
(QS).
Dr Lim particularly focused on demonstrating the
application of Information Technology (IT) in QS tasks. Participants were
provided with a basic printed house floor plan and were tasked with manually
measuring the floor finish areas of the house. Subsequently, they were
guided through a series of simple steps to utilise 3D modelling software to
obtain the floor finish areas of the same house. A comparative analysis was
then conducted to assess the time spent on manual measurement versus
computer-aided measurement.
