1. Project Introduction
For our final Introduction to the Construction Industry (ICI) assignment, in a
group of two, we are to find a specific empty land to initiate a small
construction project that serves the purposes stated. The size of the and should
be between 900 meters square (30m x 30m) to 1200 meter square (30m x 40m).
The objective of this assignment is to enable us 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. We developed an
awareness of the professional responsibilities as well as to appreciate their
profession in the construction industry.

2. Project Site
2.1 Site Introduction
Tebrau is the largest sub-division in Johor Bahru (JB) District. Its townships
include Bandar Dato’ Onn, Adda Heights, Taman Delima, Taman Daya, Setia
Indah, Taman Mount Austin, Desa Tebrau, Taman Istimewa and Taman Bukit
Mutiara. The villages in Tebrau are Kampung Kangkar Tebrau, Kampung
Pandan and Kampung Keling.

5
2.2 Site Location
We chose a relatively large empty land between Jalan Harmonium 35/3, Jalan
Harmonium 24 and Jalan Persiaran Desa Tebrau in Johor Bahru, Johor.
Since this empty land is at a rather potential location and where the crowds are
at, we decided to put it to good use. We decided to combine our concept ideas,
agriculture and commercial, as it is rare to find agriculture around most cities
here in Johor Bahru.

2.2 Site Analysis
lower topography
Weather
Eastern wind
The sun rises from the east and sets at the west therefore people can enjoy
and watch the sunset and the sunrise here. Wind blows from both the south
and east that makes the land here rather cool during day and night.

7
Ambience
Soft traffic noises can be heard all day long since it is located between two
roads at the south and the west. The place is cool through out day and
night.
Pros and Cons
The area is full of sophisticated shop houses and has very limited amount
of greeneries that is why we chose agriculture as one of our concept. That
area is accessible to a lot of places and is a rather convenient place.
Moreover, Hotel Tebrau CT, few 3 storey semi-d show houses and also few
new blocks are located across the street of this land which results more
crowd in years to come. Since it is located in between two two-lane main
roads, traffic might become a problem as well as noise pollution.

2.3 Site context

As the pictures above shown, our site is only 1200 meter square which is
30 meter by 40 meter in size of the whole piece of empty land between two
fairly busy roads. Across the street is a wide lawn and as you walk down
the road, an old abandoned building can be seen and at the end of the road,
a car maintenance workshop (Pusat Kelengkapan Kereta) is successfully
9
operating there.
On the road across the site we chose, there is a row of shop houses that
consists of a restaurant or best known as ‘Mamak’, a tuition center named
‘Inspirasi Juara’, a medical centre named ‘Pulse’, Laris Café, a karaoke
center and so on.

3. Project Concept
3.1 Concept introduction
Since the empty land is at the middle of a sophisticated busy mini town, a
combination of agriculture and commercial would do good for the people
around this area. The area is rather empty and stuffy and the air is not fresh and
clean due to the busy traffics from day to night, hence we propose to create an
agricultural area to lessen the carbon dioxide released by the vehicles that
passes by 24/7. Moreover, the plants can help cool down the temperature around
that land as well as provides the source of clear and fresh air early in the
morning that will be suitable for morning jogs and such.
As for the reason why we combine agriculture with commercial is because since
that area is where most crowds hang around, it would be a good potential place
for business. People living nearby can now have a healthier and cleaner
environment to be around during their free time and to also spend time with
nature in a modern way more often.

11
3.2 Concept images/ sketches
(Idea 1)
This was our first idea for the
agriculture + commercial plan. At
first, the land was full of sand and
decided to have carpet grass all over
this 30 meter by 40 meter wide land
to start off. Since the surrounding of
this place is a busy and
sophisticated town, a pond would
be perfect for people working
nearby to come and relax after their
working hours. They could also
have dinner on a floating food stall
and watch the busy traffic roads or the peaceful pond water that has a beautiful
water fountain in the middle. Jogging tracks are available for those who would
like to jog in the morning with lots of greens around. However, we find this
plan rather simple as there are too much empty spaces with grass.

12
(Idea 2)
For our second idea of our proposal plan, we decided to add more features to the
land instead of empty lawn like idea
1, so we decided to run an orchard,
mini fruit stalls and also a pond to
hold fishing competitions etc. We
wanted to have a pond because there
are no sports activity nearby this
area and thought of starting one.
Beside the pond, there will be a
gazebo where people can rest and
relax while watching the calm water
of the pond with fishes swimming
happily inside.

13
4. Final idea/master plan
We decided to call it Kaicyn’s orchard since agriculture is the main concept
here and only a small area of our site is under commercial concept which is
the fruit stalls in the middle.

14
After discussing the pros and
cons of ideas 1 and 2, we
finally decided to combine
both of them together as
well as to modify them both
a little. We found out that
quite a number of foreigners
such as Japanese, Turkish,
Koreans and so on are living
around Tebrau area as there is
an international school about
fifteen minutes away from
here and it would also create a good opportunity for us to run an orchard as well
as enable them to get to know more about our Malaysia local fruits such as king
and queen, durians and the mangosteen fruit. Not to forget rambutans, rose
apple (jambu) and many more. Since the surrounding of this site is rather
modern and busy, it would be really good to have an orchard here as in is
different from the others in the way that it is what most kids nowadays have
never seen before.

The car park is located at the end of the side, which is also at the side of the
road for people’s convenience when driving in or out. The pond with a beautiful
water fountain is taken from the first idea and it would be great instead of
having nothing but only green tress, plants etc. There are benches and lamp post
near the pond that would serve the community with recreational purposes.
From the pond, we can walk in after passing by a counter where entrance ticket
will have to be purchased before exploring the orchard. In the middle of the site,
fruit stalls are available for everyone to enjoy the juicy plants they visited in the
orchard. People could also walk into the fruit stalls zone without visiting the
orchard by entering through the car park.

5. Rationale
Object:
Pond/water fountain
Rationale:
Water feature will always be the best hardscape to attract people’s attention.

17
Object:
Bushes or other plants eg. Bougainvillea plants
Rationale:
Bushes are to replace walls to let the site looks more nature and peaceful.

18
Object:
Fruit Stalls
Rationale:
Apart from visiting the fruit trees in
the orchard, we could buy them at
manufacture price and to also enjoy
them at fruit stalls available in the
middle of Kaicyn’s orchard.

6. Types of Procedures
6.1 Development procedures:
First of all, in order to start a project on an empty land,
we need to convert the land use (Section 124,Act 56).
After that, plan a permission slip (Section 19, Act 172: prohibition of
development without permission). Coming up next is building plan approval
(Sec.70 (1), Act 133: No person shall erect any building without the prior
written permission of the local authority). Then, pass through the sub-division
(section 135-139, Act 56). The final process of development approval
is needed to get the Certificate of Fitness for Occupation (CFO).
The relevant statutes for application of CFO include:
1. Town and Country Planning Act 1976
2. Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974
