1.1ProjectDescription
For our final project for the subject Introduction to Construction Industry,
we were asked to make a project proposal. Hence, the title – The Project
Proposal. The objective behind this project is to enable us students to
develop an understanding of the building team, its organization, duties
and inter-relations within which they will seek employment, career
progression or further study. Not only that, it is also to develop an
awareness of their professional responsibilities and to appreciate their
professionin the constructionindustry.
Basically, our
project’s name is
called
“Maharajalela
Road Hotel”. It
involves the
construction of a
budget hotel

1.2 SiteAnalysis
These arethephotosof thesite.
7. 7
Our site is actually a recent large vacant space. Before this, it was a land
filled with trees. But now that the trees have been timbered down, we came
up with a siteanalysis and it showed that thesiteis ideal for a construction
plan. These are thereasons why:
1. Next to a monorailstation.
Tourists or locals, who uses the monorail and gets down at
Maharajalela Monorail Station, can stay at our hotel proposed at
this sitebecause ofthe convenience it brings.
2. Approximately10 minutes walk awayfromStadium Merdeka.
If there’s a sport events held in Stadium Merdeka, thehotel at our
site is the perfect place to spend the night in after a tiring and
fun day/nightthere.
3. Ventilationatthis siteis goodbecause ithas a bigopen space.
This benefits our hotel at our sitebecause it is cooling and breezy.
Because from a rational perspective, no one wants to stay in a
place where it’s hot and humid. People would usually aim for
places witha comfortabletemperature, and a nice environment.
1.3 PROJECTCONCEPT
We have teamed up to brainstormed and discuss ideas as well as concepts
that fit in this construction project after conducting a site analysis. In
8. 8
conclusion, wecameup with theidea for our finished project to function as
a
placefor peopleto stay in that comes with an affordableprice. Thepricefor
a night in this hotel will be fairly reasonable, which is why it will be a
budget hotel. Our targeted customers are tourists who are finding a fine
placeto livein, and atthe sametimetrying to savemoney.

Due to Malaysia’s tropical weather, the exterior of the budget hotel will be
filled with greenery to emit more breezy air to the surroundings. Not only
that, this concept will attract people’s attention. Besides, this concept will
definitely attract theattention of other’s because it is uniqueand it helps in
minimizing the carbon footprints we humans are causing. Basically, it’s a
win-win situation.
1.4 PROJECTBACKGROUND
(Buildingdesign inspirations)
10. 10
Actually, it’s only recently that this site has become a vacant space. Before
this, it is actually filled with trees and tall grass. Now that the trees are
chopped down and some grass got trimmed, this area requires something
for it to be a sight for sore eyes. We think this site is very strategic for a
budget to be located due to the site contexts. For example: Maharajalela
Monorail Station, Kuan Yin Temple, as well as Stadium Merdeka. These site
contexts revolve around thetourism industry, so why not make it easier for
tourist to roam around by building a budget hotel that is so nearby and
convenient? Therefore, weproposed this project.

2.RATIONALEANDCLIENTEVALUATION
Our site that we chose is a 900
square meter (30m x 30m) vacant area
next to the Maharajalela Monorail Station.
After looking at the area features the
advantage and disadvantages we could
design around the site, we settled on the purpose of our site to be: “Budget
Hotel”. For this construction project, we decide to look upon the weakness
of the area currently the facility of study by
doing so, we are able to issues and problems
and propose a plan that can make up for its
shortcomings, particular at the Budget Hotel
area. Through analysis, we have pinpointed the following issues of the area,
which we hope to use this information to create a Budget Hotel area fit for
the clients ofour project.

2.1ISSUESOFTHEAREA
1. Few budget hotel and some old hotel is already existing near the
area ofthe site. The competitionforthe walk-in guest is high.
2. The location is exactly opposite of the stadium, that is why when
there is an occasion, event, or concert the area will be noisy and
crowded. Thiswillaffect the peace in the area.
3. The area is a bit dark especially at night. There is inefficient light in
the main roadespecially at night.
2.2BENEFITSOFTHEAREA
1. Location-wise it is great because it is situated in the center of Kuala
Lumpur.
2. Very accessible, because it is near to the Maharajalela Monorail
Station.
3. Walking distance to China Town, Times Square, as well as Bukit
Bintang.These 3 are one ofKuala Lumpur’sfavouritetouristspots.
4. About 15 minutes drive to Petronas Twin Tower that used to hold the
record forWorld’sTallestBuilding Structure.
5. 45 minute drive from the airport.

2. Utilize the locationand space effectively.
3. Compensate the failuresofthe areato enhance study.
2.4CONCEPT

guest to feel more connected to the nature & enable to make the
Budget Hotel progress with harmonywiththe nature.
3. It should address the issues of the area particular the issue of sound
effect from stadium specially when there is an occasion going on to
the area as a result we should provide isolation with feeling
claustrophobicthroughwellspace isolationroom.
4. Grassy field and implementation of green approaches provides
customer a relaxing and cozy space as well as encourage green space
