Taylor's Graduate Capabilities

 

1) Discipline Specific Knowledge

Following Professional Practice 1 in Semester 4,  PP2 provides us insights on how to deal with construction disputes and claims, in line with PAM 2006. I understand better and able to relate all the knowledge to the real work after going through a six-months internship which had allowed me to get a hands-on experience of preparing interim certificates, valuating variation order and preparing final accounts.

​

 

2) Thinking and Problem Solving Skills

During lectures and tutorials when lecturer or coursemates randomly throw up some relevant questions, I was put into a situation thinking if I am a Quantity Surveyor, what is the best action would I possibly take in order to reach consensus from two disputing parties.
