Reflection
From this module, I have learnt to identify the specific laws of construction based on a situation and the necessary procedures to apply such laws. Such laws consist of contract laws, case law, and PAM contracts 2006. Overall, my lecturer, Mr Wong, has been very informative on this module and have given the class plenty of scenarios to ensure that we understand the concept of each law.
