CLO: 1. to explain terminologies/processes related to Civil Engineering quantity surveying & estimation and to prepare manual Bill of Quantities (BOQ) of a simple load bearing structure.

CLO: 2. to seek clarification about a BOQ and to justify his/her prepared BOQ.

CLO: 3. to apply software tools (excel) for quantification.
