PROJECT INTRODUCTION
This is our final project of Introduction to Construction Industry. In this final project of
our subject, we were assigned to find a specific land to initiate a small construction project
and the size of the land should not exceed 50m x 70m. In this project, we are required to
propose a project individually that serves on any one or combination of two or more of the
following purposes. Which includes : Recreation, Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural,
Tourism and Residential area. Subsequently, we are also required to identify the professions
required in our development and list down the tasks that each profession needs to do.
The main objective of this project is to enable us to develop an understanding of the
building team, it’s organization, duties and inter-relations. Besides that, an awareness will be
developed of their professional responsibilities and their profession will also be appreciated
in the construction industry. Therefore, we will be able to demonstrate the ability to justify
the feasibility of a development and improve the proposal to serve the purpose of the
development on the successful completion of this assignment.
INTRODUCTION TO OUR SITE
The location we chose for our project is an unused and undeveloped piece of barren land
which is located at Jalan PJS 10/11A, SS10, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. The
land has a great potential to be developed as it is located between Suriamas Sunway
Apartment and Mentari Court.
The main reason of us choosing this place is because it is surrounded by recreational area.
There is also a barren area near our site which has currently become a disarray car park for
the residents in this area. We also found out that there is a Subang KTM railway line behind
this barren land but without road or path to link the residents to it. It is kind of waste to let it
remains unused and becomes such a mess situation. After surveying and consulting with our
tutor, we decided to use this site for our project and start the planning of development on it.

INTRODUCTION
For this construction project, I’ve done some site analysis and finally came out with this idea
of construction that is suitable to be built in this site. I’ve decided to purpose a home stay as
there are Kereta api Tanah Melayu (KTM) station, shopping mall, theme park nearby. Also,
to increase the revenue of this home stay, I’ve planned to include some features in this home
stay. These features included:
Cafe/ Restaurant
Facial/Massage Room
Laundry Room
Cinema/Karaoke room
Mini Wine Bar
Bicycle Renting Service
These features are not only open for lodgers but also for outsiders.
PROJECT CONCEPT
Natural Modern
The design is based on the concept of modern and nature. Modern design concept are sleek,
spacious, simple, and focus on function and organization. No clutter or chaos
allowed. Modern design uses basic geometry (simple edges, curves and angles) and clean
lines in furniture, architecture and sculpture. It increases space and creates the illusion of a
larger room. People love it as the spaces are easily kept clean without knick knacks. Natural
design concept brings benefits for not only owners but the environment as well. It brings
people to natural and relaxing environment. The purpose of this concept is to provide a
natural yet modern space for people to relief their stress and rest from busy life.
IDEA OF DESIGN
The design of the building will be based on woods.
Therefore, this project building will be a modern
designed wooden house.

PROFESSIONS INVOLVED:
Architect
Landscape Architect
Civil and Structural Engineers
Mechanical and Electrical Engineers (Building Services)
Quantity Surveyor
Contractor
ARCHITECT
Architects work closely with the clients and users to make sure that projected designs match
their needs and are functional, safe and economical. Architects control the project from start
to finish and work with a number of construction professionals, including surveyors,
engineers and contractor, producing drawings and specifications that the construction team
works to.
Architects start the project by discussing the objectives, requirements and budget of a project.
They produce the detailed workings, drawings and specifications. After that, they need to
consult with other professionals about the designs. Architects prepare and present feasibility
reports and design proposals to the client. Architects also need to clarify the clients’
requirement on the project. They specify the nature and quality of materials required. Besides,
they prepare applications for planning and building control departments. Architects draw
up tender documents for contracts, they manage the project and help to coordinate the work
of contractors. Architects assist with site selection and work closely with contractors on site,
ensuring that works are carried out to specific standards and that, above all, the building is
sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing. They also do regular site visits to check on
progress, and ensure that the project is running on time and to budget.
During construction, architects resolve problems and issues arised. They ensure that the
environmental impact of the project is managed. Architects also keep the construction is
within the financial budgets and also deadline. They need to have an awareness of
commercial and financial considerations.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
Before the project construction starts, landscape architects produce designs for the landscape
of project. After that, they pull out a meeting to discuss regarding the project. They create a
plan to create an orderly sequence and define the ultimate disposition of the results.
During the construction, landscape architects control the project from start to finish. They do
regular site visits to check on progress, ensuring that the project is running on time and to
budgets. They also resolve problems and issues that arise during construction.
16. - ICIFINALPROJECT : DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL -
Page | 16
After the construction ended, landscape architects apply the Certificate of Completion and
Compliance (COC). They authorize payment once the works have been satisfactorily
completed.
Landscape architects are responsible in design the build project and inspecting works. They
need to partner with installation professionals such as architect, engineers, contractors and
others. Besides that, landscape architects are in charge of environmental planning. They
create plans and designs and work closely with clients.
CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
Civil engineers maintain and adapt the infrastructure depend on the project. After that, they
keep this infrastructure running effectively and adapt it to meet challenges, such as
population growth, climate change and natural disasters. They also turn designs into reality.
They make sure the project complete on time and in budget. Other than that, civil engineers
are also concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. They investigate and
design structural foundation of project building. They also propose solutions on problems and
issues. Besides, civil engineers also manage water and avoid the damage from excess water
for example flood. Civil engineers also in charge of managing the system that operate in
ocean environment. They also manage the facilities for any mode of transportation in order to
provide for the safe and efficient compatible movement of peoples and transports.
Structural engineering is a branch of civil engineering, and its applications are
diverse.Structural engineers deal with the analysis and designs of structures, they need to
identify the load fit the structure to the architecture, and decide on what structural systems to
use. . They also advise the clients and architects. Structural engineers prepare design
calculations, material specifications and the detailed drawings. They also inspect structures
both during and after construction to ensure that they are properly constructed. During the
construction, they are responsible in checking the quality of workmanship and the correct use
of materials.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test mechanical devices, including tools,
engines and machines. They work mostly in research and development, manufacturing
industries, and the federal government. They analyze problems to see how a mechanical
device might help solve the problem. Other than that, mechanical engineers design and
redesign mechanical devices, creating blueprints so the device can be built. They also
develop a prototype of the device and test the prototype. Besides, they need to analyze the
test results and change the design as needed. They also have to oversee the manufacturing
process.
Electrical engineers design and develop new electrical equipment, solve problems and test
equipment. They work with all kinds of electronic devices, from the smallest pocket devices
to large supercomputers. Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electro-magnetism and
electronics. They plan their designs using computer-aided software or they may also sketch
ideas by hand. Electrical engineers start out a project by defining what a new electronics
17. - ICIFINALPROJECT : DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL -
Page | 17
should be able to do. After that, they design the circuits and parts of the electronics using a
computer. They create a prototype and test the product to improve it. Most products do not
work initially or have some bugs that need to be fixed. The electrical engineer needs to figure
out the problem and make the product work.
QUANTITY SURVEYOR
Quantity Surveyors manage all costs relating to the project from the initial calculations to the
final figures. Quantity surveyors minimize the costs of project and enhance value for money,
while still achieving the required standards and quality. A quantity surveyor work for either
clients or contractors. They are involved in the project from the start, preparing estimates and
costs of the work.
When the project is in progress, quantity surveyors keep track of any variations to the
contract that may affect costs and create reports to show profitability.
Quantity surveyors are responsible in preparing tender and contract documents, including
bills of quantities with the architect and the clients. They undertake the cost analysis for
repair and maintenance project work. Also, they assist in establishing the clients’
requirements. Quantity surveyors perform the risks, value management and cost control.
They advise on procurement strategy identify, analyze and develop responses to commercial
risks. Besides, they prepare and analyze the costings for tenders and allocate works to
subcontractors. Quantity surveyors analyze outcomes and write detailed progress reports,
they value the completed work and arrange payments. They are in charge of maintaining
awareness of the different building contracts in current use. They also need to understand the
implications of health and safety regulations.
CONTRACTOR
Contractors are supported by suppliers. They do whatever stated in the project contract.
Contractors are responsible for providing all of the material, labor, equipment such
as engineering vehicles and tools and also the services necessary for the construction of the
project. They need to apply for building permits, secure the property, provide temporary
utilities on site, manage personnel on site, provide site surveying and engineering, disposing
or recycling of construction waste, monitor schedules and cash flows, and maintain the
accurate records. Other than that, they are required to register the project with Construction

INTRODUCTION
Parks, recreation and open space opportunities mean many things to many people. A
successful recreational area is the one which bring people along and it is a place for facilities.
After some surveys and considerations, I have decided to purpose a recreational area in my
site.
One of the best things about being in Malaysia is undoubtedly the food. It is no secret
that Malaysian eat and drink with a passion. In Malaysia, food courts are the people’s main
eating choice when dining out. A food court is also called a food hall in Asia- Pacific area
and it is generally an indoor plaza or common area within a facility that is consisted with the
counters of multiple food vendors and provides a common area for self-service dining. Many
food court can be found in shopping malls, airports and parks but in Asia it may be a
standalone development.
BENEFITS & IMPACTS OF THE
CONSTRUCTION
People can have a break, especially busy office workers and students.
Improve relations between neighborhoods.
Job opportunities.
Beautify the barren area by adding more green designed building.
Provide convenient and main eating choice for the residents when dining out.
RATIONALE & CLIENT EVALUATIONS
After surveying for the advantages, disadvantages and site analysis of the site, I have
decided to build a food court for my clients. Since our site is surrounded by residential
area, I have found that our site comes with a lot of recreation facilities such as gym,
swimming pool and more but the major issue is there is no food court exist. Other than that,
the site is also a high traffic area because there are school and apartments. Over time, I have
reviewed the contextual study of our site and also evaluated each kind of recreational
facilities and lastly I chose food court as my developing project.

PROJECT CONCEPT
NATURAL
Nature and greenery always brings people into a friendly and natural environment.
Natural features and spaces is important to defining community image and distinctive
character. In our food court, we are supposing to create an eco-friendly environment for all of
the residents and customers so that they will feel more comfortable while having a break
from a tiring day.
ROOF GARDEN
Roof garden is a garden on the roof of a building. Those are mostly found in urban
environments. Rooftop garden is usually done using green roof or container gardens and they
can help to cool the room below in hot weather. It is a concept that good for those residents
who dine in our food court.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASK
PROFESSIONS INVOLVED:
Architect
Landscape Architect
Civil and Structural Engineers
Mechanical and Electrical Engineers (Building Services)
Quantity Surveyor
Contractor
ARCHITECT
Architects design residential and commercial structures, of course, but their responsibilities
don't stop there. An architect must also think about a building’s style, safety and
sustainability to ensure it meets the needs of its occupants as well as the requirements of state
and federal regulators. Architects work with both government agencies and private clients.
Architects work closely with their clients. Before drafting plans, they meet with their clients
several times to learn their clients’ objectives, budget and any specific requirements for their
project. Architects also work with other related professionals, such as engineers, urban
planners, landscape architects, construction representatives and interior designers. Since they
deal with customers and professionals directly, architects must have excellent oral and
written communication skills.
Designing, planning and developing are integral tasks in an architect’s daily routine.
Architects may be required to provide predesign figures such as an environmental impact or
feasibility study, cost analysis and land-use study. Final construction plans are created by
architects and used by builders as a step-by-step guide on how the look and details of the
building will play out, including plumbing, communication and heating, electrical, ventilation
and structural systems.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
Landscape architects create the landscape around us. They plan, design and manage open
spaces including both natural and built environments.
They work to provide innovative and aesthetically pleasing environments for people to enjoy,
while ensuring that changes to the natural environment are appropriate, sensitive and
sustainable.
The work covers diverse projects - both urban and rural - that range from designing the layout
of parks, gardens and housing estates to city-centre design, sporting sites and improving land
affected by mining or motorway construction.
31. - ICIFINALPROJECT : DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL -
Page | 31
A landscape architect collaborates closely with landscape contractors, as well as other
professionals, especially architects, town planners, environmentalists and people working in
surveying and engineering functions.
CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
Civil engineers create, improve and protect the environment in which we live. They plan,
design and oversee construction and maintenance of building structures and facilities, such as
roads, railways, airports, bridges, harbors, dams, irrigation projects, power plants, water and
sewerage systems. They also design and build tall buildings and large structures that they can
last for hundreds of years and withstand all weather conditions.
Civil engineers can either be consulting engineers who advise on projects and design them, or
contracting engineers who turn their plans into reality and maintain the structures once they
are built.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
Electrical engineers design, develop and maintain electrical control systems and/or
components to required specifications, focusing on economy, safety, reliability, quality and
sustainability.
Electrical engineers are involved in projects from the concept and detail of the design through
to implementation, testing and handover. They may also be involved in maintenance
programs.
Most electrical engineers work in a multi-disciplinary project team, which is likely to include
engineers from other specialist areas as well as architects, marketing and sales staff,
manufacturers, technicians and customer service personnel. They may also work with
representatives from client organizations.
Depending on the employer, the electrical engineer may be involved at every stage of design
and development or may just be involved at one particular stage.
QUANTITY SURVEYOR
The quantity surveyor is the person responsible for figuring out just what a construction
project is going to cost. They have other roles too, especially making sure that construction
costs and production are managed as efficiently as possible.
Before construction starts, Quantity surveyors can help with feasibility studies for a project.
They can roughly estimate what’s involved in the project, based on measurements of the
designer’s or client’s sketches.
The final detailed estimate is prepared by the quantity surveyor, together with a project
architect. This is the basis for evaluating tenders.
32. - ICIFINALPROJECT : DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL -
Page | 32
When construction starts, the quantity surveyor keeps costs on track, once the building starts,
the quantity surveyor can provide cash flow data so the client can arrange the finances needed
for each stage of the project.
When construction is over, the quantity surveyor adds up the total cost, the quantity surveyor
can prepare a statement of final account, which records the actual costs for all sections of the
job.
CONTRACTOR
A building contractor is someone with a wide range of duties and responsibilities when it
comes to the construction of residences or businesses. This individual has a job that entails
hard work and thorough review of many processes which accompany the building of
structures. Many of the building contractor’s job duties and responsibilities will be discussed
in the paragraphs which follow.
A building contractor is an individual who engages in the planning, developing and
coordinating of activities which coincide with the building of structures. The building
contractor is the individual who oversees the construction and ensures that all necessary
measures are taken to result in the completed finished product.
The general responsibilities of a building contractor entail the individual planning and
carrying through any and all pertinent activities relating to the construction of a dwelling,
building or other structure. The building contractor carries out his/her duties by supervising
employees, planning how the project will be carried out and completing the project in a
manner which coincides with all laws, rules and regulations which may be in existence and
correlate with construction.

CONCLUSION
At the end of the project we have learnt that it is very important to coordinate and
develop. I have learnt about the foundation of how to develop a construction project and I
have also understood the relations and tasks of all professions that involved in my project.
Besides, we have also learnt that the location and contextual study of the site is also
important for a developing project.
