Mechanical and electrical works and civil works are being covered in Measurement 5. Under mechanical and electrical works, there are few topics being covered which are as below:

1. Electrical work

2. Cold Water Supply Installation

3. Sanitary Installation

4. Fire Protection

5. Air- Conditioning Installation

For civil works, the topics that are being covered are:

2. Class B- Environmental Protection and Enhancement

4. Class D- Site Investigation Work

5. Class E- Demolition and Site Clearance

7. Class G- Geotechnical Works

8. Class S-Rail Track

For measurement 5, there are a group assignment which related to earthworks. In that assignment, I learned how to count the cut and fill area. Besides that, I also learned how to use the simpson's formula for area which is:

Area = D/3(K+4M+2L) 

where D=offset interval, 

K= sum of first and last offset,

M=sum of even offsets

L=sum of odd offsets. 

Whereas for Simpson's formula for volume is:

Volume= P/3[(A1+4(A2)+2(A3)+4(A4)+A5]
