Introduction

In this assignment, we were given a task on to find a size of land with 30mX30m in

order to develop a small construction project and produce a report proposal. In this

report, we are required to propose one project to be construct on the land such as

recreation area, commercial area, industrial area, agriculture area, tourism area and

residential area.

This is the land chosen by my team from Penang

We can see this

30mX30m land is full

of bushes and also

rubbish been thrown

everywhere.

This land is just

right beside

residential area and

it’s never being

appreciate by the

residents around.

Advantages

Empty space has a strong wind comes towards to the houses around and makes the

houses more exposure to air. When houses are good ventilated, people doesn’t use air-

conditioning to cool their house. Hence, environment are protected.

An existing flat land makes construction much easier as geographical terrain allows

the buildings to be built on same level.

This land is just

right beside

residential area and

it’s never being

appreciate by the

residents around.

There are a road to the 30mX30m site, it just never been well-maintained and doesn’t attract residents around to been the site.

Disadvantages

There are also a terrible view over to the rubbish and bushes around. There is like

never being maintained by authorities and also never being appreciate by residents

around.

It is also never have a good condition of road. Under my prediction, the condition of

road makes the residents around doesn’t not has sense of staying on that land.

Proposal Concept

After investigating the 30mX30m empty land, I had decided to propose a concept of

developing the land into a commercial area by constructing a clubhouse. This

clubhouse is emphasized on planting trees, shrubs and lamps to make the surrounding

looks closer to nature.

Rationale

Why I propose to build as a commercial area?

According to surveillance, majority of the

residents hardly come out for exercise or

bonding between neighbourhoods. Besides,

there are no green space for residents to have

outdoor activities.

Besides, if this land never been well-maintained, mosquitoes are easily breed on and

disease will spread to the residents around. With health considerations, cleaning up

bushes and trapped water able to avoid breeding of the pests. Moreover, the rate of

health of residents obviously increase.

Key initiative of clubhouse

The clubhouse of the future should be developed on the basis of four key initiatives:

Capacity to cater for the needs of a growing volunteer lifesaving membership.

Have a sense of an open welcoming the greenery environment.

Aesthetically the clubhouse design will assimilate with the mother of nature.

Reduction in environmental impacts is a priority.

Advantages of my concept

Residents able to have a public space for exercising and provide a chance for

residents to communicate with each other.

Grassy field is to integrate human lifestyle and nature environment.

Trees provided is for a shady place to let every family has outdoor activities.

What clubhouse function as?

Clubhouses are a powerful demonstration of the fact that people with mental illness

can and do lead normal, productive lives. Clubhouses are local community centres

that provide members with opportunities to build long-term relationships that, in turn,

support them in obtaining employment, education and housing.

Why clubhouse is proposed?

After the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, as the air comes towards able

to ventilate the houses nearby. Building a clubhouse with 1 floor will not block the

wind come through. Besides, there are no spaces for residents to exercise and also

places for people to communicate with each other

Where is the clubhouse located at?

This clubhouse is proposed to build on a strategic location which surrounded by the

residential area. Residents can reach the destination by cycling, walking. Thus, to

reach the clubhouse, car is not necessary for the residents around.

Who are the targeted visitors?

This clubhouse is mostly target on the residents around and provide them a recreation

area. Besides, this clubhouse is suitable for all ages but it is mostly used by the people

who are prefer on exercising.

How will the clubhouse being promoted & encouraged?

Clubhouse are encouraged by giving out each of the houses a member card and it is

free for them. Besides, clubhouse is promoted by running Facebook ads and display

ads on nearby.

Benefits of the clubhouse

This clubhouse had its benefits by providing a:

Recreation area for the residents.

A places for residents to exercise.

Doesn’t block the wind come through as being built only 1 floor.

A space for people to bond with each other.

Help people with mental health problem.

Benefits of renovate the clubhouse into natural approach

Improving the air quality

Reducing carbon dioxide concentration at the surrounding

Plants able to block the frequency of sound pollution

Decreasing stress of the residents around

Reduce the temperature of that area

People get closer to mother of nature

Objective of the project

To provide a comfortable spaces for residents around to rest on and also exercise.

To create and foster a spirit of understanding among neighbourhood.

To unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding.

To provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest.

Provide an aesthetically pleasing landscape to residents

Impact of the clubhouse to residents around

Clubhouse achieve a reasonable impact to residential area in term of quality of life

such as:

Reasonable employment status

Good social relationship

Reduce incarcerations

Reduce hospital stays

Project requirement

Building must be planting some trees, shrubs and flowers around the

surrounding to let the environment closer to nature.

Materials to be used to build the building should emphasize on eco-friendly

materials for a sustainable approaches.

The planning and design of clubhouse is to keep to the obligation of laws and

codes of practice set by the authorities :

i. Uniform Building By-laws;

ii. Town & Country Planning Act;

iii. Jabatan Bomba badan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM);

iv. Department of Occupational Safety and Health (JKKP);

v. Department of Electricity Supply and Gas (JBEG);

vi. Suruhanjaya Tenaga Malaysia (TNB);

vii. Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (SYABAS);

viii. Majlis Perbandaraan Subang Jaya (MPSJ)

Sustainable Approaches

As our course is mainly on environment friendly and natural protecting. Hence, I

strongly emphasize on using eco-friendly materials to build the clubhouse.

Clay brick

- Durable due to high strength, practically no breakage during

transport and use.

- Non-combustible provide people a sense of security

- Aid energy efficiency due to low heat capacity and able to reduce

indoor temperature

Bamboo floor

- Biodegradable and able to be set as renewable

sources

- Reduce pollution due to it is non-chemical

methods

- Low costing than any other construction materials

Clay roof tiles

- Long lasting colour as it will not fade, rust or

corrode

- Recyclable due to it made from abundant locally

harvested clay

LED Lighting bulb

- Energy efficiency due to require low electrical power for

lighting

- Low costing by reduce large amount of electrical bills

Rainharvest system

- Filter the rainwater into first grade water which use for water features such as

kitchen use, drinking water and more. After using the first grade of water, it being

reuse for watering plants and also Jacuzzi. It is an alternative and sustainable source

of water.

- Renewable sources to save energy in the clubhouse and protect the environment.

Hardscapes

i. Outdoor solar lamp Victorian

This lamp add cost efficiency by generating power

from the sun provide a bright area for a sense of

security. This low voltage lighting system able to

produce brighter lights than the common lamps.

ii. Recycle bin

Let the residents to throw their rubbish

in the recycle bins and also provide 3R

system: Recycle, Reuse and Reduce.

Beside, dustbin is provided is to

prevent rubbish been thrown

everywhere.

iii. Cane furniture

- Cost effective compare to other timber

or metal furniture. Cane is also

resistance to the vagaries of weather.

Hence, it has more durable life span and

also environmental friendly.

Softscapes

This type of shrubs able to make the

clubhouse has a better look as it provide an

excellent background for the landscape.

Besides, shrubs is also a natural windbreaks

and privacy screen.

Authority procedure

Conclusion

Last but not least, I hope this proposal report will get used by the authorities and also

will help the residents nearby to enhance their spirit of understanding and foster their

relationship. Besides, I wish also that the building will be constructed according to the

key initiatives as shown above.

The most important things in this assignment is I had learn how to make site analysis

and site inventory before propose a report. Moreover, I had also learn about the role

of building team players in construction industries. I appreciate their works and roles

that they contribute to our natural and building environment.
