3. 1. INTRODUCTION ABOUT ONSITE TECHNOLOGY
Onsite construction covers a wide spectrum of work on the field. As a rule, it lies in the center of
every project and refers to all activities that should be completed on the job site such as onsite
construction, maintenance and property management.
On-site construction prevents the difficulties and hassles of moving large modules into tight
spaces like in the case of offsite construction. Due to this reason, on-site construction is a highly
desirable method of construction in urban areas and congested areas.
On-site construction offers greater flexibility in terms of renovation of the structure or any
addition to the existing structure. On repetitive or unique projects, and with teams that are ready to
meet the challenges and opportunities associated with its delivery.

18. SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PLAN
Energy efficiency is at the core of green home building. Features include solar panels, closed
foam insulation, sealed attic spaces, low-emissivity windows, advanced framing techniques and
energy-efficient heat pumps. As a homeowner, our costs are reduced along with the decrease in
heating and cooling requirements. (Agyeman, J., 2008)
Building practices significantly reduce dependency on non-renewable sources, which are
expensive and major contributors to environmental pollution.
In terms of water usage, sustainable homes help to preserve supplies for future generations. With
the use of efficient plumbing to reduce waste, high-efficiency appliances and advanced irrigation
systems, we can rest assured ours're using natural resources responsibly. (Baxter, K.H. and
Purcell, M., 2007)
.
19. SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PLAN
Low Operating Costs
With construction techniques to ensure the efficient use of water and energy, it makes sense that
operating costs of sustainable building is reduced. Enhanced daylight throughout the home, solar
heating and environmentally-friendly lighting are just a few of the money-saving options.
(Langstaff, K. and Brzozowski, V., 2017)
Furthermore, building is durable. This means we’ll spend less money on maintenance over time,
due to the use of long-lasting, recycled materials and sustainable design in features.
After all, the very definition of sustainability is “something that lasts”, which is great reason for
the life-span of our dream, custom building.
21. 6.CONCLUSION
Learning individual project, we also know many knowledge such as how to draw the gnatt chart,
estimate and drawing. When learning on project learning activities, students explore multiple real
world topics. Look at scenarios and work through challenges using a variety of resources.
Having the opportunity to work on projects at their own pace, and being able to make individual
choices along the way, builds self confidence in students.
