CONSTRUCTION LAW (QSB 4414)

In this module, I have understood the general principles on the formation of a contract and remedies in the event of breach. I have also understand the roles and liabilities of architects, quantity surveyors and other professionals in relation to professional negligence and the use of collateral contract. As a Quantity Surveyor,  they must possess good knowledge of laws relating to payments, contractual claims and interpretation rules of ambiguity found in documents. They also need to understand the laws relating to land and construction industry.

We were assigned 2 course works assignments in this module by Mr Eddie Lim. Coursework 1 is seminar presentation with 2 person in a group. Each group have to present each chapter of the week. My partner was Lee Jing Loon and we were presenting Chapter 10 which is law relating to payment. We found alot of case law in this chapter. This provided me a deep understanding for applying law in different kind of situation in case of payment. While coursework 2 is form by 10 person in a group. This assignment is more dealing with contractual claims. This gives me a hint on what it would be like working in the industry in the future and I think it is very well useful for me.
