About this Module
What you will learn
Foundations are the starting point of every structure, and accurate measurement is the first step to building them right. This micro-credential introduces you to the fundamentals of measurement and estimating for pad foundations—a critical element in construction projects. Designed for both university students and industry practitioners, this course breaks down complex concepts into simple, bite-sized lessons that are easy to follow and apply. You’ll learn how to: 1. Interpret drawings and extract accurate measurements for pad foundations. 2. Apply standard measurement principles from the SMM (Standard Method of Measurement). 3. Calculate quantities for excavation, concrete, reinforcement, and formwork. Understand how these measurements translate into realistic cost estimates. Through short and engaging content, real project examples, and practical applications, this MC equips you with the confidence to measure and estimate pad foundation works accurately—whether you’re preparing coursework, managing site operations, or pricing tenders. By the end of this micro-credential, you’ll not only master the measurement techniques for pad foundations but also appreciate how accuracy and professionalism at this stage set the tone for the entire project’s success.”
