PROJECT PROPOSAL 1NEIGHBOURHOOD PARK

A residential community should have a place for the community to gain a healthy lifestyle and relax. That why a neighbourhood park should be built on the proposed area for the community to exercise and participate in sports and outdoor activities. Other than that, it allows interaction among the residents and relax to alleviate stress. Facilities should be included like jogging tracks, outdoor gym, public toilets and children playground. This proposal will help the residents to have a healthy lifestyle and provides a green environment within the residential area.

PROJECT CONCEPT1) Nature

The concept focuses on nature and greenery in the site. The nature concept brings people into a eco-friendly place where people are can feel and appreciate the environment. We insisted to implement a green landscaping approach that will help the community to feel connected to nature and also helps the microclimate to become cooler. Our projects has the advantage of having shady trees to provide healthy air as well as for the people to rest and relax under the shady trees. The plants and greenery that are planted will help the community to discover the greatness of flora and fauna where people can lay on the grass and witness the beauty of flowers. The purpose of this concept is for most people to simply have an area to relief stress, moments of peace and place to exercise after a busy and stressful day.

PROJECT PROPOSAL 2SUPERMARKET

Every residential area should have market or convenience store, therefore I propose a supermarket should be develop in this proposed area. A supermarket in a neighbourhood would definitely benefits the community. People in the nearby area does not need to travel far just to do sundry shopping as they can go to the near supermarket to buy things. Supermarket in the neighbourhood not only convenient but also help the community run their sundry errand easily.

PROJECT CONCEPT

1) BUILDINGS

The building for this supermarket should be a 6 storey height building with measurement of (60m2 x 50m2). The 1st floor will be the sundry department while the 2nd and 3rd floor will be the clothes department that is the women, mens and children clothes. The 4th floor will be electronics department and 5th floor is home deco department. The last floor will be the office and lounge for the staff and employee to rest. Facilities like toilets, storage room, elevators and lifts will be included in every floor for the customers and staffs. Fire exits will be build on every floor along with stairs and fire doors that is the rules and regulation that required by the fire rescue department.

2) ROOFTOP PLAYGROUND

This additional feature is for all those mothers to let their child play while the mothers went for shopping. So the plan is to let the mother leave their child play while their mother went for shopping. This area will be well secured and the only way the children can leave this premises is through the elevators which results in passing by their parents and the receptionist.

3) ROOFTOP CAFE

The proposal for a rooftop café is for the customers to relax after shopping. Customers that are tired after shopping can have coffee or supplements after they shopping. This is a good proposal since customers can have lunch or dinner after or before shopping. The mothers can also have a tea break with friends while leaving their children play at the playgrounds jus next to the café. And also the café main serving are the desserts and sandwiches.

4) PARKING LOTS

Parking lots will be build in front and the side of the supermarkets. This allows the customers to park their car nearby despite walking from far distant.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASK

Professions involved in this projects:1) Contractor2) Landscape architect3) Architect4) Quantity Surveyor5) Civil and Structural Engineer6) Mechanical and Electrical Engineer7) Supplier

CONTRACTOR

Contractors are responsible for the construction on both new and old buildings and structures. A contractor helps to organize and manage all aspects of a building site. The job requires someone who is detailed oriented and who enjoys and passion on construction sites but may not be skilled about rewiring cables and rerouting plumbing themselves. They only follow orders by reading and consult drawing drawn by the architect and engineer. The primary duties of the contractor are responsible for completing a building project on time and budget. Contractors don’t usually do other thing like wiring and heavy lifting on a construction site themselves, but they pay other team of subcontractors to do the work within budget.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

-overseeing the design of a variety of projects, including urban regeneration schemes, pedestrian schemes, road or retail schemes, and maintaining the character of sites of natural beauty.

-establishing general landscape requirements with clients.

-conducting preliminary studies of the site (including contours, soil, ecology, buildings, roads).

-assessing a site's potential to meet the client's specifications.

-carrying out environmental impact assessments.

-seeking and taking into account the views of local residents, potential users, and parties with a vested interest in the project.

-accurately preparing and presenting detailed plans and working drawings, including applications, construction details and specifications for the project using computer-aided design (CAD) packages or similar design software.

-presenting proposals to clients, dealing with enquiries and negotiating any amendments to the final design.

-matching the client's wishes with your knowledge of what will work best.

13 | P a g e

-contacting and coordinating manufacturers and suppliers.

-putting work out to tender, selecting a contractor and manager (mainly for larger projects), and leading cross-functional teams.

-making site visit to ensure progress.

-ensuring deadlines are met.

-liaising with other professionals on the project.

-monitoring and checking work on-site (on large projects, landscape managers may do this type of supervisory work).

-authorising payment once work has been satisfactorily completed.

-attending public inquiries to give evidence if necessary.

-generating new business opportunities.

ARCHITECT

Architects work in the construction industry and are involved with designing new buildings, extensions or alterations to existing buildings, or advising on the restoration and conservation of old properties.

They can work on individual buildings or on large redevelopment schemes, and can be responsible for the design of the surrounding landscape and spaces.

Architects work closely with their clients and users to make sure that projected designs match their needs and are functional, safe and economical. They usually control a project from start to finish and work with a number of construction professionals, including surveyors and engineers, producing drawings and specifications that the construction team works to.

14 | P a g e

QUANTITY SURVEYOR

A quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects, from the initial calculations to the final figures.

Surveyors seek to minimise the costs of a project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standards and quality. Many of these are specified by statutory building regulations, which the surveyor needs to understand and adhere to.

A quantity surveyor may work for either the client or the contractor, working in an office or on site. They are involved in a project from the start, preparing estimates and costs of the work.

When the project is in progress, quantity surveyors keep track of any variations to the contract that may affect costs and create reports to show profitability.

The title of the job may also be referred to as a construction cost consultant or commercial manager.

CIVIL ENGINEER

Civil engineers are involved with the design, development and construction of a huge range of projects in the built and natural environment.

Their role is central to ensuring the safe, timely and well-resourced completion of projects in many areas, including:

highway construction; waste management; coastal development; geotechnical engineering.

Consulting civil engineers liaise with clients to plan, manage, design and supervise the construction of projects. They work in a number of different settings and, with experience, can run projects as a project manager.

Civil engineering offers many opportunities as well as the satisfaction of helping to improve and enhance public quality of life in many settings.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER

Structural engineers design structures to withstand stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use. They ensure buildings and other structures do not deflect, rotate, vibrate excessively or collapse and that they remain stable and secure throughout their use.

Structural engineers have to choose appropriate materials, such as concrete, steel, timber and masonry, to meet design specifications. When construction has begun, they are often involved in inspecting the work and advising contractors.

They also examine existing buildings and structures to test if they are structurally sound and still fit for purpose. Structural engineers have to make efficient use of funds and materials in order to achieve structural goals.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

Electrical engineers design, develop and maintain electrical control systems and/or components to required specifications, focusing on economy, safety, reliability, quality and sustainability.

They design and manufacture electrical equipment for use across many sectors, including:

the building industry and services, including lighting, heating and ventilation; transportation and transport networks; manufacturing and construction; production and distribution of power.

Electrical engineers are involved in projects from the concept and detail of the design through to implementation, testing and handover. They may also be involved in maintenance programmes.

As well as having technical knowledge, electrical engineers need to be able to project manage and multitask. They also need to have commercial awareness. Additional attributes, such as team leadership or management skills, are required as careers progress.

PROJECT MANAGER

Project managers ensure the project is completed on time and within budget, that the project's objectives are met and that everyone else is doing their job properly. Projects are usually separate to usual day-today business activities and require a group of people to work together to achieve a set of specific objectives. Project managers oversee the project to ensure the desired result is achieved, the most efficient resources are used and the different interests involved are satisfied.

SUPPLIER

A supplier is a supply chain management who provides goods or services to a company or individuals. Supplier will supply materials to the site. Supplier also need to ensure the quality of the materials and installation of the material or equipment goes smoothly. Supplier also sometimes recognised as a subcontractor because of their large contributions to project.

Conclusion

At the end of this project we have concluded that it is very important to coordinate and develop an understanding of coherent working relations among various construction profession and how effectively communication is important in this industry. We also learnt how to document observations and research we did and combine them in a report. We are also able to justify the feasibility of a development and improve the proposal to serve the purpose of its development.
