THE DESIGN
PROCESS OF
REFURBISHMENT
WORK
Prepared By

Main Objective of Design Process
• To produce design that can be used to construct a building that fulfils:
1) functional,
2) economical &
3) aesthetical requirement.
(Note: These requirements is easier to achieve for new works
but more difficult for Refurbishment Project. Why???)
New works Refurbishment works
Design team start
fresh & progressively
builds up, revise &
refine the design.
Design team need to be
•more analytical,
•collect info on existing buidling
•dev the design that is compatible with it.
•understand how the extg structures were
•designed & how they have been used.
Thus, they are less confident with the
assumption made on the design due to
UNCERTAINTIES
UNCERTAINTIES IN DESIGN
• Uncertainties make it difficult for design team to obtain
comprehensive & accurate design info.
• Many construction projects suffers from incomplete &
inaccurate design.
• E.g.: 50% of variation orders (VO) are due to defective
design (Diekmen & Nelson, 1985).
Project Objectives
• Project objectives is set by the Client.
• The main project objectives are:
• Other objectives:
1) Minimal disruption to bldg operation
2) Aesthetic compatibility with the extg bldg/enviro
3) Safety & convenience of users

Commissioning
Conceptual Design
• Identify the building needs based on space requirement & budget allocatio
n.
• Space Requirement is assessed by analysing the extg space through
Site Analysis.
• Purpose statement is prepared during the briefing process.
• Client brief includes:
– Refurbishment project requirement.
– Appraisal of extg assest by designers.
• Project technical & physical characteristics are established.
• Designers produces concept drawings for discussion.
• Then, the designer has to revise drawings or provide alternative solution.
Schematic Design
• Schematic design doc is based on agreed concept, schedule & budget
requirement by the Client.
• It consist of drawings & other documents, which shows:
– Site plan
– Organisation & space allocation
– Outline specifications – list all components;
• Exterior materials
• Finishes
• Major interior systems (M&E, structural, lighting, kitchen, etc)
– Prelim estimate based on current area, volume or unit cost.
Detail Design
• Development of greater detail on all bldg aspects.
• Final product is detail design where all key members
need to sign.
• Develop contract doc- suitable format for pricing,
permitting & construction.

Klang may have taken its name from the Klang River which flows
through the town. The entire geographical area in the immediate vicinity of
the river, which begins at Kuala Lumpur and runs west all the way to Port
Klang, is known as the Klang Valley.
Other theories regarding the origin of the name include the belief
that it was either derived from the Mon-Khmer word “Klong” or from the
old meaning of the Malay word ‘Kilang’ meaning warehouses, given that
the area was full of warehouses in the old days (kilang currently meaning
“factory”)
The MPK building is located at Jalan Raya Barat nest to the main
office fronting the Klang River. The location is also near to the double
decker bridge also known as the ‘Kota Bridge’.

DESIGN Initially the biggest Indian streets in the State ‘Little India’ was
proposed to be at the Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) building current
location. Despite an unavoidable reason, it remains at Jalan Tengku
Kelana, hence business commercial centre was raised there.
The original MPK building was next to Raja Mahadi Fort which is
now serves as an impressive landmark of Klang Municipal Council.
Gradually the shop office was transformed into MPK additional building
which occupies around 150 staffs. MPK has procured 3 floors which
consist of 6 units each. Estimation of the purchase excluding construction
work is around RM 800,000.00. The purpose of the additional MPK
building is to occupy technical department such as ‘Jabatan Kejuruteraan’,
‘Jabatan Taman/Rekreasi’, ‘Pusat Semakan Setempat (OSC)’, ‘Jabatan
Perancang Bandar & Desa’ and ‘Jabatan Bangunan’.
Jabatan Kejuruteraan ,Jabatan Taman/Rekreasi and OSC is
situated at the ground level while Jabatan Perancang is at first level and
Jabatan Bangunan is placed at second level.

The shop office building was designed by GRA ARCHITECT in
year 2000, and completed in year 2002. Today, the building serves as a
government office. Though it has been renovated throughout the years to
accommodate modern office use, the main structure and architectural
design elements are well maintained.
However, the interior renovation takes about 1 year and the cost for the
construction works around RM 300,000.00 excluding workstations
equipments and others.

DESIGN 8.0 COMMENTS ON NEW BUILDING PERFORMANCE
1) Low class building
As the administrator of the Klang city, the appearance is an important
aspects to consider in such a way that the building itself should represent
the MPK’s proud and honour. The departments include in the building
(Technical Department) mostly dealing with consultant and clients, hence it
is vital for the building to look presentable and organized.
2) Poor indoor environment
There is insufficient air circulation and ventilation and no natural lighting
therefore resulting in discomfort and uncomfortable odour in the
surrounding.
3) Uncomfortable working space
The space is limited and making it too many equipment and stuff laying
around inside the office.

4) Poor safety aspect
There is only (1) one main exit or access at the center of the building and
the back door is locked of all times. This is risky and dangerous at times
when emergency cases occurred. All windows are fixed therefore making it
difficult to escape when emergency cases.
5) Uncomfortable working space
The space is limited and making it too many equipment and stuff laying
around inside the office.

9.0 SOLUTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
*MPK should reconsider another building which more appropriate to
represent the authority itself.
*To ensure a good air ventilation and circulation as well as better natural
lighting.
*To upgrade and improvise on the safety aspects to ensure the safety of
the occupants in the building.
*The design of the office layout should strongly be reconsidered to be
more organized and practical.
