INTRODUCTION
This is our final project for the module introduction to
construction industry (ICI), for this assignment, we are required
to find a partner and produce a minimum 20 pages report. Our
task is to find a 30m x 30m (900 meters square) to 30m x 40m
(1200 meters square) empty land and come up with a proposal
to consult a potential client to construct a building in the site
chosen.
The proposing construct building is required to serve one of the
purposes as mentioned below: Recreation area, Commercial
area, Industrial area, Agricultural area, Tourism area and
Residential area.
The objective of this assignment is not only to enable 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 but also To
develop an awareness of their professional responsibilities and
to appreciate their profession in the construction industry.
To make this assignment successful for us, we are encouraged to
explain the need to coordinate and develop an understanding of
coherent working relations among various industry players and
to improve the communication channels. We are also to show
our ability to document our observations and understanding
from our visit to our site and also research towards our site.

OUR SITE
Our site is located at 3.061732, 101.610481 on Google Maps.
The area is 67m x 67m (4489 meter squares) . The reason
why we chose this site is because it is an open space which
lacks buildings and design. It is a big waste to this empty
land as it is a very strategic area because it is located near
residential areas and also a university.

5. 5
SITE ANALYSIS AND OBSERVATION
Our site is located 1.5 km away from Taylor’sUniversity Lakeside
Campus. Our site can be reached by car, which is 5 minutes, or by
walk, which is 22 minutesfrom Taylor’s University. Our site is
30m x35m (1050 meter square). It is an empty land next to a High-
Raised Apartment. The only entrancethat vehicle can enter to this
empty land is from an entrancewhich shares the same road to enter
the apartment. Therefore that entrancewill also be our proposed
entrance for our commercial building. There is a slopeat the East end
of our site and that will be our main drainage and waste system for
our commercial building. The traffic rate at our site is slightly jam
duringpeak hoursand traffic rate is low duringnormalhours.

Advantages
Our site is located justoutside of Taylor’s Lakeside with a distance of
1.5km. Thisis oneof the main advantages of buildingour site as the
core purposeof this projectis to create conveniencefor university
studentswho stay in Bandar Sunway to access the buildingwithout
the hassle of traffic congestion.
Most high-rise apartmentsare located around the area to create
conveniencefor the residentsto access the building, especially for
those who do not own a vehicle as the walkingdistance is at an
average of 5 minutesfrom the proposed buildingto the apartments.
There is a wideexpanse of open space to create a potential space for
futuredevelopment. Italso has an existing flat ground to ease the
process of construction.
Disadvantages
Despite the good potential of our site for our proposed plan, italso
has its down sidethat might be the reason of its lack of usage and
abandoned open area.
It only has one access point where vehicles have to turn in from the
apartmentlocated next to our site beforeentering. Therefore, the
flow of traffic is a difficult procedureasit only has oneentry and exit
point.
Our site is located at a low area where it holdswater after a heavy
rainfall. Standing water creates a potential spotfor mosquitosto
breed which will cause a huge disadvantagefor our proposed plan. A
storm water catch basins (system) have to be installed to solvethis
problem.
Our site does nothave a good view. It overlooksa low-end apartment
and it is located next to a cross junction. The view is not pleasingto
the eyes.

9. 9
Rationale and Client Evaluation
After thorough discussion and research on our site, also emphasizing
on the advantages and disadvantagesof the existing natureof the
area, we have decided to proposea commercial area with a mid-end
hypermarket, food courtand fast food joint with drive-thru service.
For this construction project, we look upon the weaknessof the
nearby places of the same facilities and functionsto compareand
improveon their weaknessesto proposea plan to better suit the
clients of our project.
Wehave distinguished a few issues that are not suitable for our
proposed plan and cameup with a list of improved suggestions
according to the areas.
High-end hypermarketat Sunway Pyramid
1. Price of groceries anditems are more expensive – Price of
goods sold at the high-end hypermarketareplaced at a higher
price dueto the expensiverental and emphasizeon the interior
design.
2. Highcost of importedgoods – High-end hypermarkets
usually importquality goods that are priced too high and are
not affordablefor studentswho live near the area.
3. Area too small – High-end hypermarketare smaller compared
to mid-end hypermarkets, hencethere are lesser varieties for
customersto choose from.
Restaurantsin Syopz Mall
1. Limited choices of restaurants – The studentsof Taylor’s
University face dilemmasof what to eat for luncheveryday as
there are not muchvariety in campus.
2. Price of food is not affordablefor students - The price starts
from RM15 and abovewith no
3. Closingtime too early – Most restaurantsin campusareclosed
at 9pm. Only the “mamak” and convenientstores are open
24/7. Moststudentswho overnightat campusdo not have a
complete meal to eat.

10. 10
Fast Food Joint next to Sunway Toll
1. No direct access to campusfrom the restaurant – Students who
drivehave to make a huge round around Subangata proximate
duration of 15 minutesbefore going back to campus.
2. Isolated location – The fast food joint is located beside the toll
in a non-strategic area and customers have to pay the toll after
they finished dining.
3. No drive-thru service – Drive-thru service is not available,
customerswho are in a rush will notenjoy the convenienceof
taking away efficiently.
Through studyingthe weaknesses of these areas, we have decided to
improveon our construction project. The proposalis required to
fulfillthe followingcriteria.
1. The whole projectwill be finished within the estimated time.
2. The space is utilized sufficiently.
3. Benefitthe society and improveon the weaknessof the high-
end hypermarket, restaurantsin syopz and fastfood joint next
to the Sunway Toll.

CONCEPT
Rationale of our concept:
The conceptof our site is to providea convenient and affordable
hypermarketincludingan efficient food courton the ground floor.
Wealso aim to build this buildingwith the cheapest yet sustainable
materials with an attractive exterior design of the building. The
interior of our building is also very organized for the customersto
have a comfortable and organized grocery shopping experience.
Organized shelves for
easier access to find
products
Attractive and

Car park and traffic flow
Car parks are often associated with large retail complexes and steel
framed car parksare a common solution. Column spacingof 5.2m
and 7.5m align with 2 or 3 car park spaces and spansare often 4.5m,
7m and 4.5m so that a central aisle is created. Long-span steel framed
car parksare also popular and 16.5misthe common span in these
cases.

22. 22
DrainageSystem
Catch Basins
A catch basin is an inlet to a storm
drain system that typically includes
a grate where storm water enters,
and a sump to capture sediment,
debris and associated pollutants.
Catch basins are designed
specifically for capturing and
conveying storm water. Typically, on
private commercial or industrial
sites, there is no standard for the
placement of catch basins. Storm
water drain systems are often
installed based on the best
professionaljudgmentand experienceof the design engineer.
The estimated peak storm water flow rate dictates the number of
catch basins needed on a site. The percent impervious surface, slope,
average rainfall and rainfall intensity are all factors in calculating the
peak flow rate.
Vacuum DrainageSystem
The condensation wastewater
can be lifted vertically up from
the freezer and transported
through piping in the ceiling to a
drain elsewhere in the building.
Special greater tanks called
interceptors are used to ensure
the water transport's efficiency.
The piping for condensation
water can be moved easily when
floor plans change.

23. 23
Fire Safety
Fire safe design is important in retail buildings, both for provision of
effective means of escape in a fire and also to protect the asset value
of the buildingand its contents.
The fire resistance is generally 120 minutes and a life safety sprinkler
system is also required.
Intumescent coatings are paint like materials which are inert at low
temperatures but which provide insulation as a result of a complex
chemical reaction at temperatures typically of about 200-250°C. At
these temperaturesthe propertiesof steel will not be affected.
Boards are used as structural fire protection. They offer the specified
a clean, boxed appearance and have the additional advantages that
application is a dry trade and may not have significant impacts on
other activities. Also, boards are factory manufactured and
thicknesses can be guaranteed. Furthermore, boards can be applied
on unpainted steelwork.

24. 24
Attributes of SupermarketConstruction
1. Speed of construction is increased by pre-fabrication.
 Supermarketconstruction is fast, with contract durationsfor
new build stores of 6000–7000m2typically rangingfrom 22 to
26 weeks. Rationalized design and standard productsare
necessary to achieve such compressed programs.
2. Economy in terms of structure cost
 As for all construction clients, supermarketchains are
concerned about reducinginitial build cost, but as owner
occupiers, they also take into account the long-term impact of
investmentdecisions. They use payback and life cycle costing
assessments to determineadditionalinvestmentin flexibility,
reduced runningcostsor sustainability.
3. Sustainable design and lightweight construction
 A store'starget market will also influencethe architectural
design of the exterior of the building, and the materials that are
used, glazing systems, floor finishes etc., that are partially
determined by location, target market and projected turnover.
4. Long spansfor flexible useof space
 Supermarketsalso have extensive back-of-store facilities for
staff, offices and storage. Target figuresfor total back-of-house
space have fallen from 50% of gross internalfloor area to 25-
40%, dependinguponthesize and target market of the store.
5. Convenienceof traffic flow
 Parking, access and distribution are also key aspects of the
design solution. The space for car parkingis also extensive and
in somelocations, doublelevel car parksare required. Most
supermarketsareserviced at night which requires suitable
access, turningand off-loadingspace.

25. 25
Operational energy used in supermarkets
Lighting was
found to be the
most significant
energy demand,
accounting for
around ahalf of
the total
operational
carbon
emissions.
Consequently
efficient lighting
systems coupled
with optimum
roof light design
are importantin
deliveringoperationalcarbon reductions. The complexity of the
interaction between buildingorientation, roof light design, lighting
systems and daylight dimminglighting controls in supermarket
buildingsrequires detailed dynamicthermal modellingin
conjunction with good lighting design to develop an optimum
lighting solution.
Efficient lighting of supermarketsare highly dependenton the
presenceand configuration of the shelvingand racking systems used.
Where obstructionssuch as high bay rackingare installed, the
buildingis effectively split into a number of narrow, corridor‐type
spaces which requiremany morefittings, and hence moreenergy, to
achieve the same level and uniformity of lighting.
Special greater tanks called interceptorsare used to ensurethe water
transport's efficiency. The pipingfor condensation water can be
moved easily when floor planschange.

26. 26
Task of professionsinvolved in buildingconstructions
1. Architect
The architects providevariousdesigns, then prepares
drawingsand a reportpresentingideas to the client based on
his needs. After discussingand agreeing on the initial proposal,
architects develop finalconstruction plansthat show the
building'sappearanceand details for its construction. The plan
is then passed to the StructuralEngineer for his own design.
2. StructureEngineer
After the architectural design is completed, SE are the next
professionalsto work on the design.
The job scope of the Structural Engineer includes
- Designing the structural members(slabs, beams, columnsand
foundations)withthe Geotechnical Engineer.
- Determinethe sizes (thickness span and depth) of structural
membersand the quality, size, typeand quantity of
reinforcements.
- Decide on the quality and typeof materials used for structural
membersand the required concrete strength
-Designs the roof trussesto sustain all expected loads and
forces
-Producesthe structural drawingswhich is required for
buildingconstruction approval.
3. Quantity Surveyor
The QS estimates the project budget, analysis the effect of
design changes on the budget and the most noticeable role
preparation of Bill of Quantities that assist in the tender
process, producetender documentand managethe tender
process, clarify and evaluate tenders, variationscontrol,
contract administration and assessment of claims, negotiate
and settlement of accounts, Valuingcompleted work and
arrangingfor payments, expertwitnessreport in case of
dispute.

27. 27
4. Builder
The Builder study theproduction information that is the
drawings, schedulesand specifications they analyzethe build
ability and maintainability of buildings. He writes on the
construction method and program, assess the workmanship
skill of artisan and suggest solution to technical problems.
5. Consultant
The consultantrepresentsthe owner and to lend practical
expertise to the job. Workingon behalf of the owner, the
consultantcan identify and addresspotential construction
problemsin the design stages and, as an independentparty,
may be in the best position to suggest cost savingor time
saving alternatives and to evaluate suggestions madeby the
other parties.
6. Mechanical and Electrical Engineer
The M&E Engineersdesign layoutsand requirementsfor
buildingservices for which is one of the requirementsfor
buildingapproval. Design and developmentof electrical
systems required based on envisaged power consumption for
safety and energy sustainingoperation of buildings,
construction and operation of Heating, ventilation and air
conditioning(HVAC) systems.
7. The buildingcontractor
The BC is responsiblefor hiring, supervising, firingand
paymentof workersalongside obtaining materials for the
project to precise specifications, mostly using the services of
suppliers. The BC worksbased on agreed contract sum with
buildingownersso, he controls Budgetissues, follow that
budget as closely as possible though there might be slight
variation at the end of the project. They ensurethat the project
is completed within the specified time frameas well as
reviewingthe progressand implementingany changes along
the courseof completion.
