Introduction
In this final project, in a group of 2, we were given a task to find a specific land
within campus area to initiate and propose a small construction project. The
land shall not be more than 30mx30m.
Our proposal should be one project that serves the purposes of either a
recreational area, study enhancement area, rest area, food and beverage area, or
commercial area.
i) Suggestion and proposal
We would like to propose a rest area and our suggested site would be the empty
space in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus, Level 4, between Block D and
Block E. The rest area would be an open air green space rest area and is also
open to all university students 24/7. It does not only serves the purpose as a rest
area but it could also be a study enhancement area at the same time.
4. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project

Site Plan and Location
The location of the project proposed is the gap at level 4, between Block D and
Block E. The site is a flat concrete slab and has an area around 30m x 30m. The
area is quite dull, boring and is not meant for anyone to walk through it.
Selected Site
5. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project

Site Analysis
Sunlight
The site has both sunrise and sunset views. This could make the site a little
livelier during the morning all the way till the evening.
Wind
Besides, the site is between both blocks which is Block D and Block E. This
causes the current of the wind there to be quite strong, making the site very
cooling and relaxing at the same time.
6. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project

Views
The views from the site isn’t very attractive but changes could be made to work
it out. There are two potential entrance which are the staircases in both Block D
and Block E, and also the elevators.
Traffic
The human traffic there is quite active especially in the morning and also the
afternoon, especially for Block E, the traffic could also be active all night long
because of the architecture students whom are staying over for projects.
7. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project

Concept
The concept of this proposal is to provide a green space rest area for all
students. The nearest rest area is the one at the level 2 corridor and the student
life centre is all the way at front of the university which it would be convenient
for students who are in Block D and Block E to get to a good relaxing spot to
chill. Besides, there isn’t any green space rest area which students could enjoy
the greenery and also the strong wind blowing on both sides through the gap
between both buildings on a higher floor in the university too.
The proposed green space rest area would be great for the university
students to chill, rest, and relax surrounded by trees and plants and also the great
environment on a higher ground. Although there is already a rest area at the
level 2 corridor, this proposed green space rest area could bring the phrase ‘rest
area’ into a whole new level. The rich, sublime atmospheres and layered
textures of the rest area are brought to life with timber assemblies and textured
concrete, native plants and trees, and thick shades. The language is
contemporary, simple, and elegant and most of all, green. The use of familiar
materials such as wood and textured concrete gives an authentic flavour to these
contemporary creations.
The innovation in this proposed project is to transform a boring and
dull concrete slab area into a new inviting and user-friendly environment
oriented towards nature, leisure and art.

Introduction to Site
At this site which is about the size of 20mx20m that is between block D and
block E on the fourth floor or Taylor's Lakeside University campus will be an
opened air green space rest area. This rest area will be surrounded by lots of
greenary such as trees, plants and also a vertical garden so that the air can be
filtered to produce fresh air and also obtain a cleaner and greener enviroment for
students to experience. Facilities such as benches will be provided all over the
proposed resting area.
9. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project

Benefits of Proposal site
1. This site is very convinient to be used as a rest area because it's located in
between block D and block E where there are many classes around.
2.This site will improve the amount of green in these type of area of the
university blocks and also improve the quality of air.
3. The natural wind provided by nature is able to fan everyone at the site so
ample electricty can be saved by rarely using fans.
4. This site is also very quiet and peaceful which is a great thing because
students will be able to have the rest they need after or before atending their
class or completing their assignments.
5. It's also the best place to spend time with your love ones or hangout with
friends and just enjoy the open air of the site hence this green space rest area is
always open to all university students 24/7.

Building plan approval process and
procedures
Abstract
Successful development project is crucial to all project stakeholders. Meeting
the dateline to complete a project will be an added advantage for both the
developer and the land owner. Project development just like construction
project will encounter some form of project life cycle (PLC). A typical PLC of
developmental project comprise of a initiation and planning phase, construction
phase and post construction phase. Further, the implementation of the one-stop-
centre (OSC) by Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG)
nationwide in April 2007 have succesfully improved the delivery system of the
planning process. As the result of the MHLG bold step, a more systematic
planning process have benefited the developers, consultant and the authorities.
In lieu of this, it is imperative that all the consultants and the developer should
comply to the guidelines, rules and regulations stipulated in the standard manual
drawn by Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) and the MHLG
to ascertain a smoother planning approval process. Thus, in long run, all these
moves implemented by the government should attract more foreign direct
investment (FDI).
Key words: Development project, planning process

Introduction
The success of a development project as a whole is crucial to all the
stakeholders who primarily are the developer, the land owner and property
buyer. The timely completion of a project that is not only within the budget but
also in accordance to specifications and the stakeholder’s satisfaction (Nguyen
et al., 2004) benefits both the project owner (developer) and the property buyer.
Each and every project development will undergo some form of project life
cycle (PLC) as mentioned by Kerzner (2009); PMI (2004). A typical
developmental process comprise of a initiation and planning (predevelopment)
stage, a intermediate stage (construction) (intermediate) and a closer stage (post
development).
Project Development the Malaysian Context: A crucial brief overview
In the Malaysian context project development similarly has its own PLC which
is divided into three (3) stages, namely, the predevelopment stage, the
construction stage and the post construction stage. The close of a development
project or the post developmental stage is when the completed property is
handed over to the owner as required and stipulated by the Housing
Development Act (HDA, 2010). The flow of activities starting from the
inception right up to the delivery of a completed property plays a pivotal role in
the planning of property development. A crucial brief overview of a typical
planning process in Malaysia, covering the legislature in the planning process,
the development plan and general implementation of development plan, and are
as follows.
18. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
18
Legislature in the planning process
The laws, procedures and guidelines pertaining to the property development
process in Malaysia are quite extensive. There are over fifty (50) laws and
guidelines that may either be initiated or pose a constrain on decisions when
undertaking a property development project. Those most pertinent and crucial
laws to be complied to include the National Land Code (NLC) 1965 (NLC,
2008), the Town and Country Planning Act, 1976 (Act 172), the Government
Act 1976 (Act 171), Uniform Building By Law 1984 (UBBL), the Street,
Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133) and the Environmental Quality Act
1984.A very important tool used to manage land development is planning
control, referred to in Part IV of the Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA),
1976 and planning guidelines. In Section 19, the TCPA states that “no person,
other than the local authorities, shall, commence, undertake, or carry out any
development unless planning permission in respect of the development has been
granted to him under Section 22 (treatment of application or extended under
Subsection 24 (3) (lapse of planning permission)” (LOM, 2006).
19. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
19
Development plan
Various development plans (that is, the national physical plan; a structure plan,
a local plan and a special area plan) has been formulated under Part III of the
TCPA (TCPA, 1976) in order to guide the decision makers when processing
planning permissions. These plans shall form the overall policies for future land
development as well as used to establish zoning and planning standards
concerning public facilities requirements, roads, open spaces, building setbacks,
number of car parks etc. Basically, a layout plan that has been submitted must
comply with the national and physical plan, the state structure plan, the local
plan, a special area plan and all plans approved by the local authorities of the
governing state. The submitting party is also required to comply with a pre-
determined zoning requirement, strategic policies and government policies. For
example, in the state of Selangor, any development on a piece of land that has
been classified as class 3 and class 4 terrain, will not be approved for
development by the respective local authority. Similarly, when it involves a
composition of low cost, medium to low cost and medium cost housing and a
specific race (that is Bumiputera or indigenous group) quota, the planner must
prepare a layout plan that takes into consideration government policies,
guidelines and other technical requirements.
General implementation of a development plan
A development plan in Malaysia is implemented within the framework provided
under the National Development Planning that comes under the Town and
Country Planning Act, 1976 (Act 172). The National Development Planning
Framework (NDPF) comprises of three (3) levels of planning (Figure 2.1),
20. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
20
namely the National Physical Council (NPC) at the Federal level, the State
Planning Committee (SPC) at the state level and the local council at the local
authorities level. The NDPF is implemented 'top-down' starting at the federal
level down to the state level and finally to the local authorities level, directed
towards achieveing a national development vision by the year 2020. Any
development involving land that is more than 100 hectares in size requires
initial approval from both the SPC and the NPC. The NPC is chaired by the
Prime Minister while the SPC is chaired by the Chief Minister of the respective
state of Malaysia. An approval by the state government is required prior to
submission for approval to the NPPC for federal government approval. Both the
NPPC and SPC convene twice a year to discuss pertinent matters involving
planning such as a zoning change, the development of large parcels of land (100
hectares or more), any special development proposal, gazetted and revocation of
development plans etc.
Stages of Development
The three (3) stages in a project development are discussed in this section. The
first stage is the planning stage or the pre-development period. When all
required approvals have been obtained, it then goes into the second stage; the
construction phase. During the post construction stage, that is the third stage, a
certificate of completion of compliance (CCC) will be awarded to the developer
who then would have successfully completed their (housing) project (HDA,
2010, DTCP, 2007). A developer first has to obtain all planning approvals
before any physical work can commence on site and prior to issuance of any
advertising permit by the relevant authorities. Under the new guidelines by the
OSC, the principal submitting person (PSP) has an option to either submit all
four (4) planning applications for simultaneous approval or to submit it by
stages. The planning applications are (a) planning permission application
21. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
21
(Subsection 21[1], Act 172), (b) building plan application, (c) road and drainage
plan application (Section 9, Act 133) and (d) the various 'works' plan (Section
70A, Act 133). The local authorities shall stipulate conditions subject to
comments from their technical department. The total number of technical
departments that exist is peculiar to that local authority where the plans are
being submitted. Just in the state of Selangor, for example, there are a total of
fourteen (14) technical departments (DTCP, 2007; MHLG, 2008) with whom
the PSP must work with during the submission of plans. Any development that
involves land area larger than 50 hectares in size, is required to be supported by
a study on the potential impact it may have on the local environment (DTCP,
2007). The environental impact principal submitting party (PSP) where the
submitted plans must go through the various technical departments (DTCP,
2007; MHLG, 2008), for example the department of environment, that handles
all matters pertaining to the environment, the Department of Sewerage on
matters concerning sewerage, the Department of Drainage on drainage matters
and the Board of Water Management that manages water matters. Other
standard compliances include the building setback line requirement for different
building types (housing, industrial, or commercial), density, plot ratios, public
facilities, retention ponds, supply of electricity (by the National Board of
Electricity) and road levels. All planning approvals is subject to the planning
permission process referred to under Section IV, Town and Country Planning
Act, 1976 (Act 172). Generally, the local authorities would only offer an initial
conditional approval. The submitting party, that is the planner (appointed by the
developer), shall then make the necessary amendments in compliance with to
the requirements stated in the letter of conditional approval issued by the
various technical departments.
One-Stop-Centre (OSC)
22. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
22
In April 2007, the Malaysian government under the Ministry of Housing and
Local government (MHLG) initiated a One-Stop-Centre (OSC) approval
process in an effort to improve the delivery system and procedures at all state
municipalities. Its main purpose is to ensure that Malaysia stays globally
competitive in the property and real estate sectors (MHLG, 2008). It is an
independant body that acts as a facilitator for the planning process for
submission of plans at the local authority. Currently the OSC forms part of the
local authority located in every state in Malaysia. Prior to the introduction of the
OSC, submission for approval was done separately and in sequence. Only upon
approval of the layout plan can the building plan be submitted for approval with
the rest of the drawings to follow suit. With the implementation of the OSC, the
consultants have the option to submit all five (5) drawings, namely the layout
plan, building plan, road and drainage plan, earthwork plan and landscape plan
simultaneously (DTCP, 2007; MHLG, 2008).
Principal Submitting Party (PSP)
The planner (registered planner) is principal submitting party (PSP) engaged by
the developer or land owner to prepare the layout plan and will act as PSP for
all planning approvals, primarily at the planning permission stage (refer to
Appendix A). In smaller development projects, the architect acts as PSP to
complete and obtain the building plan approval from the local authorities. The
civil and structural (C and S) engineer is required to produce the platform
design for the earthworks plan application. The C and S engineer also prepares
the structural building design for the architect to submit at the building plan
approval stage. Similarly, the mechanical and electrical (M and E) engineers
prepares the mechanical and electrical drawings and layout to include plumbing,
electrical supply and the sewerage treatment plant (STP) for submission at the
23. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
23
building plan approval stage.The key consultant who is responsible for
coordinating the works activities at the initial stage of submission of the layout
plan with the authorities shall be the planner. A registered planner must fullfill
two (2) requirements, that is (a) be registered as a corporate member with the
Malaysian Institute of Planners (MIP) and (b) be registered with the Malaysian
Planning Board. The registered planner, being the consultant or the PSP acting
on behalf of the developer, must ensure full compliance with all the
requirements stipulated by the local authorities and technical departments.
Relationship between Principal Submitting Persons (PSP) and Approving
Authorities
A good working relationship between the consultant, the developer and the
various respective departments at the local authorities will directly contribute to
a successful planning approval. The consultant must keep abreast of all
requirements stipulated by the authorities. Where in doubt, the manual for
planning guidelines and procedures for the State of Selangor (DTCP, 2007) is
available. It is imperative for the developer of a housing project to comply with
the planning standard guideline (DTCP, 2007; MHLG, 2008) of that respective
local authority where the project is located. This is easily achievable by
cooperating with the planning consultant (registered planner). A lack of
cooperation in any aspect may result in a protracted conditional approval and a
delay to obtain the endorsement for final approval hence delaying the overall
construction.
24. Introduction to Construction Industry | FNBE 0414 | Final Project
24
Planning Approving Committee
The planning approval is decided by the planning approval committee at the
local authorities where the OSC is located. The committee is chaired by the
head (Mayor) of the local authority and comprises of sixteen (16)
representatives from the respective technical departments, local authorities’
councillors (representatives of the local municipalities selected by the state)
(Appendix B). The head of the planning department at the local authority is
responsible for submitting the development report on each layout plan
submission. The report and the layout plan are then tabled at the OSC meeting
for approval. Appendix B is a typical example of a full planning approval
committee for the state of Selangor headed by the Town Councillor (Yang di
Pertua) for State Municipality or Mayor (Datuk Bandar) for City Municipality.

Conclusion
After coming up with this proposal of consrtucting of an opened air green
space rest area, we realised that this site will never be a boring or dull place to
look at and also acessible by anyone either from block D or block E because the
concrete slab is joint to both blocks at this floor. This rest area will be an
interesting place to go to because of green enviroment. Furthermore, even
though this design of ours will cost a lot of money beacause of the type of
material used but it will really benefit the students who really need find rest at
place which is the nearest to them.
