3. Introduction
In this Introduction to Construction Industry Final
Project, we are required to work in a group of 2 and
select an empty land of not bigger than (30 x 30)m or
(30 x 40)m large as our site to propose a small
construction project, that either provides as a
Recreation area, Commercial area, Industrial area,
Agriculture area, Tourism area or a Residential area.
For me and my partner Wei Zheng, we’ve chosen
Commercial area as our purpose for this final project
and our site is located at Jalan PJS 7/13, somewhere
nearby our campus.

4. Concept
We decided to propose a hawker centre due to the
reason that lacking of restaurants nearby. We picked
there as our site to provide the residences with more
variety of foods. This is the main reason that makes us
to come up with this purpose.
Moreover, our centre is air-conditioned that also
provides mini games such as chess, mini wooden block
game etc for the kids or even adults to play with so
that they won’t feel bored while waiting their food to
be served.
To make a better hawker centre, not to mention WiFi
has also came to our consideration. Our hawker center
(W.T.F) will also provide WiFi for our customers. We
will have a few televisions installed in the center, and a
projector on big screen to let our customers enjoy
during sports events like World Cup or other dramas.

The site has been a large vacant space since years ago
without any construction and renovation.
The site is filled with trees and plants, most of it have to be
demolished before the project proceeds.
Construction will take place as soon as we get permit from
the authorities.

10. Site Context
-Residential Area
-Kuil

11. Bandar Sunway High School
Taylor’s University

12. Transportation
A mini Bus Station is also provided just right in front of
our site, it will be more convenient to have your lunch
here.
Apart from that, free parking spaces are also available
here for our valued customers to park at.

13. Sunlight
- There is no rooftop on it so the sun is sufficient
throughout the day.
Wind Direction
- It is windy there and the wind direction comes
from the east south.
Site Context
- Kuil, Bandar Sunway High School, Taylor’s
University, Petrol Station and Residential areas
can be found nearby our site.
Circulation
- Our site is located next to roads and residential
areas so the circulation of cars would be moving
on the roads next to our site. There is also a
mine bus station right in front of our site.

14. Specifications
Main Idea of our Hawker Centre
This is how our centre is going to look like. The tables
and chairs are fixed at the specific place so that it will
look tidier and spacious. Our aim is to bring out low
cost and delicious food for the residences in PJS 7. Thus
I have to save the renovation fees, and the design for
this hawker centre is not going to be very fancy and
modern. My target is to start gaining profit in one year

15. therefore I have to avoid some other unnecessary costs
such as fancy tiling, chairs and tables etc.
We are going to provide the people with various types
of food from different races or even countries. The
foods are self-serviced. Most importantly, it’s going to
be cheap and comfortable to sit down and spend your
time inside as there will be air-condition provided as
well.

16. Other than that, we also serve an entertainment area
which consists of a few types of mini games such as
table football, chess, mini wooden block game and etc
for the customers to have fun after or before their
meal.

17. PROJECT REQUIREMENT

practicality of the site condition and constraints.

25. Benefits
It is located near education areas like Taylor’s
University, Bandar Sunway High School. Moreover,
it is just right beside the mosque and surrounded
by residential areas.
Often visited by the people that are done with
praying, students that have ended their classes
and also the residents.
Wide variety of foods with low cost
A new place for the neighbors, senior citizens to
gather and chit-chat around.
Another business opportunity for people to sell
their food.
Brings conveniences for the residents nearby as
they don’t have to walk or drive to somewhere
further when they want to eat.

26. Disadvantages
 Located beside the road which means air and
sound pollution caused by the cars would slightly
affect the environment even though it’s air-
conditioned.
Abandoned foods might appear scattered around
the floor outside the hawker centre as the dogs
and cats would dig the rubbish when they smell
food.
Drainage around might be polluted by the
hawker’s unwanted cooking oil or some other
elements.
It might create some other pollution as people
would simply throw their rubbish after eating.

28. Conclusion
To put it briefly, this (30x40)m site is proposed to
initiate as a commercial area for the people such as
students from Taylor’s University, Residences at PJS 7.
This project to build a hawker centre in PJS 7 serves as
a solution to increase the amount of restaurants
around PJS 7. They are very limited and located too far
as well.
A hawker centre is convenient, comfortable to allow
people having their meal at easily affordable prices. It
can also be a place for u to chill or chit-chat with your
friends.
It’s not easy to get all the items such as the documents
from the authority. It requires our effort to carry out all
the procedures in order to make things done. Lastly, I
would like to thank my tutor Ms.Ann for giving us
advices when we encounter problems in this project.
