This research used the survey data obtained collected from the students who completed the building measurement unit. NVivo qualitative data analysis software was used to identify relevant themes. The analysis of the qualitative data revealed the major learning difficulties such as inadequacy of practice questions for the examination, inability to work as a team, lack of detailed understanding of the prerequisite units, insufficiency of the time allocated for tutorials and incompatibility of lecture and tutorial schedules. The output of this research can be used as a basis for improving the teaching and learning activities in construction measurement units.</p> <iframe src="https://publications.waset.org/10011077.pdf" style="width:100%; height:400px;" frameborder="0"></iframe> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Building%20measurement" title="Building measurement">Building measurement</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=construction%20management" title=" construction management"> construction management</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=learning%20challenges" title=" learning challenges"> learning challenges</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=evaluate%20survey." title=" evaluate survey.
