1.0 Introduction
1.1 Module Objective
This internship training aimed at introducing students to the requirements,
activities and operations involved in working in architecture / construction practices.
This purpose is to facilitate the involvement of students in professional attachments
to architectural practices in order to develop an understanding of the general nature,
principles and procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings,
especially the Building by-Laws.
Students will also be exposed to the process of authority submission for
various drawing from an architectural practice and the range of contract
documentation produced to support these drawings. Via a full time internship
attachment, students will further appreciate the documentation and report writing
skills required of an employee (architectural assistant / architect) in a typical
architect’s firm.

Learning Outcomes
From this little task, I learnt that architects job is not gonna stop after construction
phases, we still need to prepare documents for clients and buyers. Also, I have the
chance to read through and understand most of the drawings that need to be done
during constructions process such as diagrammatic drawings, details drawings and
etc.

Learning Outcome:
Through this project, I was given a great opportunity to study more about the Uniform
Building by Laws, UBBL which is important role in architecture to ensure the comfort
and safety of occupants. I am also able to understand how architects should
coordinate with other consultants to allow the construction process become
smoother. For example, I have a more in depth understanding how the structural
requirements for a buildings and also what is allow to build beyond the setback line
and what is not.

Learning Outcome
This project brush up my revit skills a lot and prove that it will be a highly demanded
software in the future. Under the guidance of Mr. Pook Kei Jin, now I have a better
comprehension on detailed drawings for a residential house in terms of building
elements, drainage system, UBBL requirements and etc. Moreover, I had
understand how important time management are because I am unable to complete
all of the 19 blocks within the period and causes inconvenience.

3.3 Site Visit
3.3.1 Amverton Hills, Sungai Buloh
Overview
Supervisor : Ar. Teoh Eng Kuan & Ms Pei Yi
Task : Minutes of meeting
Duration : 26th Jan (2pm to 5pm)
The main purpose of this site visit was to have site meeting with the developers,
contractors and engineers regarding the current progress and issues on going
Amverton housing project which was a 7 type of bungalow (Type D2A, D2, D2-1,
F2-1, F3, F2, F3-1). Minutes of meeting was prepared by Paradigm Architects and all
matters such as site contractor’s matters, architectural matters, contractors matters,
structural matters and others was discussed during the meeting. I was to take down
notes of important points during the minutes of meetings.
After the site meeting, my supervisor explained more about this project to me but
unfortunately it was raining on the day and I was unable to go on site. By being in the
sales gallery and the explanation of my supervisor, I was able to have better
understanding and visualization of the projects on going.

4.0 Conclusion
At Paradigm Architects, a firm that I carried out my internship and being a part of
learning in architecture. As a fresh employee who lack of practical experience, I am
so thankful for being given fair amount of jobs and obtained a lot of guidance from
my supervisor Ar. Teoh Eng Kuan and co-workers. They were so generous to spent
times to share their experience and their knowledge to me. Throughout the
internship training, I could perceive more about the definition of being an architect
and I realise that observations skills and creativity is required to tackle problems that
I faced. Besides, this internship has given me the opportunity to improve my software
skills and how important they are to make our design came true.
In a nutshell, I realised the significance as belows:
I. Time Management
Architects are always packed schedules and running against time to meet deadlines.
Time wastage is not allow, a proper adjustable and flexible time management allows
us to complete works before deadlines.
II. Communication
Teamwork is a must in any working environment, thus communicating and sharing is
needed throughout the process of working.
