INTRODUCTION
The final project for Introduction to the Construction Industry marks
the end of the module and the subject. Starting off with the brief,
the FNBE students were also given a short explanation on the nature
of the assignment.
In a group of 2 students, we need to find a specific land within
campus area to initiate a small construction project of 30 times 30
metres that serves either one of the following purposes:
 Recreation area
 Study Enhancement Area
 Rest area
 Food and beverage (dining area
 Commercial area (exclude food and beverage)
Following on that, we need to study and prepare the following types
of building development, fulfilling requirements such as suggestion,
rationale, benefits, site analysis, evaluation and the needs of the
project to the client and to the community. This assignment will be
graded based on a 20 page A4 report.
Ng and I paired up as partners for this assignment. Our group chose
Food and Beverage as our construction theme. To start off, we had
small brainstorming sessions and discussions besides trips to
potential sites within campus. However, we both agreed on the best
location for our construction project. Then, we delegated research
topics individually and come together for weekly progress as a group.
We achieved our aims as the deadline of the project drew closer but
still provide room to develop ideas along the way.

Site Analysis
The site we had chosen is at the free parking area, right at the
entrance of the free parking area on the right will be an empty space.
Our site is approximately 12m x 33m. It is a public space and an open
space with only a small abandoned construction at the end. It has an
empty space of approximately 50m x 35m. There is a 2 meter deep
sewer along the side of the. Looking out towards the south, there is a
car park area and a small guard post. Looking out towards the west,
there is a road where drivers will pass-by when they want to enter or
exit the free parking area. Looking towards the east, there is a view
of large trees and some high rise residential area.

Understanding Food and Beverages
Sector
Food & beverage: main objectives & expectations
Most food & beverage operations aim to provide:
 Quality food & beverages
 A clean, hygienic & safe environment
 Comfortable & well designed facilities Professional, attentive &
friendly service
 Value for money
The main challenges of the hospitality industry & the food
sector are
 Intangibility – such as ambiance
 Simultaneous production & consumption - where mass
production is difficult for it requires large amounts of
customers & producers in one placer which would cause
environmental, social, cultural & economic problems
 Heterogeneity – where service experience may vary due to
different producers & consumers with different needs &
requirements
 Consistency – is difficult to achieve due to the intangible
element in food & beverage
 Perishability – where unused hospitality services cannot be
stored, returned, claimed or resold
 Ownership – where the consumer only owns a hospitality
product only for a certain period of time
 No guarantees – with little aftercare or service

parking area will be able to have their meals there instead of
going all the way to the commercial block. Students can also
use the restroom after long hours of driving. They can also relax
at the lounge area as it is air-conditioned.

Materials of the Construction Project
Benches:
In front of the shops so that after students finish their meal or went
to the washroom, they can check on their items or just work as a
small rest area.
Plants:
Decorating purposes, and also to capture attention so that people
would visit the areas. There can be little shrubs or flowering plants.
These plants help to create a peaceful and greener area.

CONCLUSION
In a nutshell, the food and beverage line is a booming sector filled
with endless possibilities and a broad future, just waiting to be
discovered and ventured. As a large campus, serving many different
schools and courses, the increasing student population in turn,
increases the demand for food source. And there is no better option
than to promote sustainable design, organic foodstuff and nature all
at the same time for the goodness and benefit of all.
