1. Introduction to project
1.1 Project Description
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
profession in the construction industry.
Basically, our project’s name is called “Maharajalela Road Hotel”. It involves
the construction
of a budget hotel
right beside a
staircase that
leads to the
Maharajalela
Monorail Station.

1.2 Site Analysis
These are the photos of the site.
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 site analysis and it showed that the site is ideal for a construction
plan. These are the reasons why:
1. Next to a monorail station.
• Tourists or locals, who uses the monorail and gets down at
Maharajalela Monorail Station, can stay at our hotel proposed at
this site because of the convenience it brings.
2. Approximately 10 minutes walk away from Stadium Merdeka.
• If there’s a sport events held in Stadium Merdeka, the hotel at our
site is the perfect place to spend the night in after a tiring and
fun day/night there.

3. Ventilation at this site is good because it has a big open space.
• This benefits our hotel at our site because 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 with a comfortable temperature, and a nice environment.
1.3 PROJECT CONCEPT
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
conclusion, we came up with the idea for our finished project to function as
a place for people to stay in that comes with an affordable price. The price
for 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
place to live in, and at the same time trying to save money.

A green budget hotel building
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 the attention of other’s because it is unique and it helps in
minimizing the carbon footprints we humans are causing. Basically, it’s a
win-­‐win situation.

1.4 PROJECT BACKGROUND
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 the tourism industry, so why not make it easier for
tourist to roam around by building a budget hotel that is so nearby and
convenient? Therefore, we proposed this project.

2. RATIONALE AND CLIENT EVALUATION
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 of our project.

15.
15
2.1 ISSUES OF THE AREA
1. Few budget hotel and some old hotel is already existing near the
area of the site. The competition for the 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. This will affect the peace in the area.
3. The area is a bit dark especially at night. There is inefficient light in
the main road especially at night.
2.2 BENEFITS OF THE AREA
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 of Kuala Lumpur’s favourite tourist spots.
4. About 15 minutes drive to Petronas Twin Tower that used to hold the
record for World’s Tallest Building Structure.
5. 45 minute drive from the airport.

2.3 GOALS OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
1. Site should be simplistic and idealistic.
2. Utilize the location and space effectively.
3. Compensate the failures of the area to enhance study.
2.4 CONCEPT
1. The concept of our project must be able to provide a comfortable
space for the traveler.
2. We also implement a green landscape approach that will help the
guest to feel more connected to the nature & enable to make the
Budget Hotel progress with harmony with the 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
claustrophobic through well space isolation room.
4. Grassy field and implementation of green approaches provides
customer a relaxing and cozy space as well as encourage green space
into a human lifestyle Isolation rooms provide personal space and
privacy to relax and enjoy the stay in the budget hotel.
5. Open space gives the impression of freedom -­‐ more open air
especially in the lobby area.
