CONCLUSION
First, we will talk about the location of the site.
The site is located at Jalan Robson, Seputeh. It covers an area of 1.43 acres of freehold land. The site is surrounded by lush greeneries and prestigious residential development.
There are many amenities around the area example schools, hospitals and shopping mall.
hospitals and shopping mall.
Besides that, there is a lot of public transportations such as KTM, LRT, and Monorail station near the site.
It also have a great accessibility via the four major highways in Malaysia which are Federal Highway, NPE, KL-Seremban Highway and East-West Link.
The benchmark project that we have chosen is Sentral Suites. We proposed Sentral Suites as our benchmark project is because
the strategic locations of both projects. It is located near to the proposed site. It also have a lot of similarities with our proposed project.
Sentral Suites is strategically located at Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Kuala Lumpur and it only takes five minutes of walking distance to reach KL Sentral,which is very convenient for our residents. The total land size is 4.92 acres.
Sentral suites consists of 3 serviced apartment tower. There are 43 floors in total. It has 1434 one thousand 4 hundred and thirty four residential units and the bottom of residence has 41 retail units.
It provides various facilities such as a jogging track, dance studio, billiard room, swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna, multipurpose halls, Taichi deck, barbeque area, study room and basketball court to satisfy the recreational needs of the residents.
Now, we are going to talk about our proposed building design.
The proposed project consist of 2 levels of basement car park, 1 level of ground floor services floor, 6 levels elevated car park, 1 storey recreational facilities and 2 blocks of 31 levels of serviced apartments. There are total 656 car park available. For ground level, it has grand entrance lobby with water feature and water fountain.
There is a facilities floor located above the podium. It provides more than 10 exciting lifestyle facilities such as infinity pool, floating deck, dining cafe, gym room, sky jacuzzi and etc.
For the residential tower, consist of total 404 residential units. Total CFA is 54,000m2. Floor height is 3.40m height. There are 4 numbers of lift for each tower, including a Bomba Lift.
There is a roof facilities floor that offers roof garden, sky lounge and audio visual room which is at the topmost levels of the residential structures.
Here are some of the construction method that we have proposed for this project.
First is the foundation of the building. We suggest to use bored pile as there is no high building at the surrounding. It can carry the huge load of the building. It also can reduce the vibrations and noise during construction of the pile and as a result, this will lesser the disturbance to the residents living nearby. It also can withstand various kinds of soil conditions.
Next, as our proposed building has two levels of basement and the site is located at a sloping area, we need contiguous bored pile as a retaining wall to retain the soil behind it. It has inexpensive cost and it speeds during the construction process. It also has a higher capacity of overcoming obstructions such as rocks.
For the carpark level, we can use post-tensioned slab as it can hold immense load. It helps to reduce cracks and water penetration that may damage the flooring. Moreover, it is flexible in design.
We can also use aluminium formwork for this project as the residential tower of the project is almost the same. It save time and save management cost. It can be used for different structures and can be reused many times.
The aluminium panel can used at the facade of the podium carpark. It is flexible in design and the price is inexpensive. Furthermore, aluminium facade can help reduce the thermal expansion due to the solar heat. It is also corrosion resistance and can be used for a long period of time.
Lastly, rainwater harvesting system is proposed for our building as Malaysia is a raining season country. It helps to reduce water bill and soil erosion. It can be installed easily and it is low in maintenance.
Now, we will be talking about the cost of the project.
This is the summary of the area.
CFA stand for construction floor area, it is the total construction area of the project.
GFA is stand for gross floor area, it is the total enclosed area fulfilling the functional requirements of the building.
NFA stand for net floor area, it is the total of all saleable area.
The efficiency of this project is 42%.
The cost plan is divided into four parts, which are basement carpark, podium carpark, tower A and tower B.
The cost is build up with the cost per m2 of GFA of previous similar project, which is our benchmark project. It is a mid-end apartment. We use the cost per m2 of GFA of the project multiply with the GFA of our project to build up the cost.
For the elements that do not have the cost per GFA, such as lift car finishes and mailbox, are build up with the rates from BQ of previous project.
From the overall construction cost, the structure cost take up 44%, the architectural take up 30% and the M&E take up 27%.
Moreover, there is also a cost plan for external and ancillary works. It includes road work, surface water drainage, sewerage, water reticulation, hard and soft landscaping, refuse compactor, gym equipment, fencing, water feature, water fountain, playground and guard house.
The preliminaries is 10% and the contingencies is 5%. And there is a cost escalation of 5%. So, the total cost of the project will be RM187,536,099.15. The cost per m2 of CFA is RM2,031.49.
In conclusion, the total CFA of this project is 92,315m2.
The total cost is around RM187mil.
The cost per m2 of CFA is RM 2,031.49.
