PROJECT INTRODUCTION For this project, we are required to form a group. Each group have only 2

people. We need to find a specific empty land to initiate a small construction

project. The size of the land shall between 50m X 50m ( 2500m2 ) to 50m X

70m ( 3500m2 ).

Individually, we need to proposed a project that serves on any ONE or

its organization, duties and inter-relations within which they will seek

employment, career progression or further study. In addition, its practice us to

develop an awareness of their professional responsibilities and to appreciate

their profession in th econstruction industry.

And it allows us to understand the important of the authority procsses and

procedures in order to get the project done from inception to the completion.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this project is to provide the business area for the residents in

that area. That area will be choosen to proposal is the commercial area. A

commercial area is real estate intended for use by for-profit businesses, such as

market, food court and so on. On the other hand, a commercial area is also an

activity of leisure time for the people to eat, to enjoy, to buy the things of daily

SITE OBSERVATION

LOCATION OF PLAN

KEY PLAN

SITE PLAN

CIRCULATION PATTERN There have 4 ways of circulation pattern which is 2 ways of entrance and 2 ways of exit in

the same place position.

SUN PATH AND WIND DIRECTION

ACCESSIBILITY The site is nearby the main road and the education area which is Taylor’s University. It is

very convenient to all the people to come.

TRANSPORTATION There have only 2 transportations in that area which is:

Cars Motorcycles

FACILITIES There have 3 facilities in that area which is:

Security guard Playground

Covered parking

WEATHER As we go to the site, it is too hot in the day and cool in the night. Sometimes,

the wind blow in that area is hot during the day only. But at night, the

temperature of that area is low and the wind blow is cool.

AMBIENCE There have a soft traffic noise can be heard in all day since it is near to the main

road. At the same time, there will be traffic jams in weekdays since it is near to

the Taylor’s University. On the other hand, the surrounding of the area is clear

and safe

PORTRAINT AND CONSTRAINTS The area is full of housing area. There are not restaurant, convenience store and

sport area nearby. That is why we choose commercial area as our concept which

can make it comfortable and convenient to the people in the area. Moreover,

they can just use bicycle or walking to the place.

Besides that, the area is near to the main road and education area which is

Taylor’s University. Therefore, it might cause the traffic jams and produce the

noisy sound from the vehicles. At the same time, it also cause the air pollution

since the vehicles released the poisounous smoke.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SITE Our site is a part of land from an unsued and undevelopment piece of meadow. It is located at

Jalan PJS 7/4 in Bandar Sunway, Malaysia. The location is look like a squre shaped and grid

pattern layout. Our site is surrounded by residential areas. The size of our site is 2500 m2

which is 50m x 50m.

PROJECT CONCEPT The proposal project that we are going to build on the site is the commercial area. This is

because the surrounding of the site is mostly residential areas only. The site is located at Jalan

PJS 7/4 in Bandar Sunway, which is a major of housing area and is near to the education area

which is Taylor’s University. We are not demolish the purpose of the area. As we go to

observe the site of that area, we find out those residents in Bandar Sunway needs an open

space area to eat, to relax, to enjoy, to communicate with others people and having fun.

My proposal of the site is the Delicious Food Court, which are provides some various food

stall for people to choose what they wanted to eat. It has provide a healthy foods and drinks,

cheap price and very convenient for the residents or others people to come such as workers

and students.

OBJECTIVE As the time passed, almost the empty land in Malaysia are used to build a tall buildings and

something else including the recreation areas, government buildings, commercial areas,

industrial areas, residential areas and tourism areas. The area of the site in Bandar Sunway is

surrounded by majority of residential areas. There have many restaurants for residents but the

distance between from the residential areas to the restaurant is too far and almost the foods

are expensive to the customers. The site is also near to the education area which is Taylor’s

University causes it will be traffic jams during 6pm. The objective of this project is to

provide a specific place which is the food court for people, residents and students to come

and eat. So, they no need to rush with the time and get away from their busy schedule. It is

very convenient to them.

ZONING

ZOOM IN OF THE SITE

PROPOSAL FOR OUR SITE As we go to observe the site, I think it is suitable to build a commercial building which is the

food court. This is because the site is surrounded by the residential only. As we build the food

court on that site, it is very convenient to the residential areas. At the same time, it is good for

people to communicate, relaxation, having fun. The restaurant are provide a variety of foods

include breakfast, lunch and dinner. And the food court is open in 24 hours.

~ Stalls

HARDSCAPE

1) CAR PARK

It is convenient to the residents that who live slightly far away in that area or other places so

that they don’t have to walk to the food court.

2) STALLS

There have 3 types of stall which is foods, drinks and fruits. For the food stall, it can be many

different types of food such as Malaysia foods, Japanese foods, Taiwan foods, Italian foods

and so on. This is the best choice for the consumers to choose what kinds of food their want

to eat.

3) WASHROOM

The washroom has provide 2 toilets which is the female toilet and male toilet. It is convenient

for the people to clean up themselves after eating or some accidently cases such as urgency

and stomach pain.

The lighting was designed with the Japanese lantern. The Japanese lantern is made up with

the Japanese washi paper and custom hanging lantern at the luminous ceiling. It provide

romantic and comfortable feeling for the people to eat and chatting with others people.

SOFTSCAPE

1) TREES

It will be planted at the corner of parking place to provide shades.

WHAT IS THE BENEFITS OF PLANTING TREES There are many benefits of planting trees in our site. Trees can increased a property value and

bring people together in an eco-friendly activity. Planting trees can improve the quality of

human life and new identity for the residential. The following of planting trees’ benefit are:

1) Trees clean the air

Trees provide oxygen, absorb pollutant gases which is nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulphur

dioxide and ozone. And filter particles out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and

bark. In one year, an acre of mature trees can provide oxygen for 18 people. Furthermore, it

also can reduce the quality of air pollution.

2) Trees combat the greenhouse effect

Global warming is the result of excess greenhouse gases, created by burning fossil fuels and

destroying tropical rainforests. Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas contributing to

global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, it removing and storing the carbon while

releasing the oxygen back into the air. In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the

amount of carbon dioxide produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH

~ The site is located nearby the main road and Taylor’s University. It has a high accessibility

to connect the road from Taylor’s University and the residential areas to the site.

~ The site is surrounded by the residential areas. It is very convenient for the residents to

walk to the site without using any transportations.

WEAKNESS

~ The site is located nearby the main road. The vehicles including cars, motorcycles, taxi and

lorry that which will produces the noisy sound. Some of the vehicles released bad and

poisonous smoke to the environment causes the quality of air pollution is increased and the

health of human’s life will be effected.

OPPORTUNITY

~ The empty land of the site is an unused and undeveloped land. It is a great place to be

expanded and developed into a specific place that can served a purposed for the residential

areas.

THREATS

~ The site is covered by grass and woody plants. This conditions might easily attract the

animals to stay there such as lizards and dogs. Thus, the grass and some of the woody plants

must be completely cleared off before starting the construction project.

CONCLUSION At the end of this project, I have concluded that the developing of an empty land into a

specific place is not easy and simple to do. Before starting the construction, it is important to

do the site analysis before planning a new proposal project to reduce the construction

problems. At the same time, it must be listed out the problems and issues to the site and find

out an effective ways to solve it. For example, the location, conditions, accessibility and

sustainability to the site in that area. Furthermore, it is also important to coordinate and

develop an understanding of coherent working relations among various industry players. We

need to know that how to communicate and present effectively with the clients or others

people about what we wanted to build. I did a lot of research to find a great ideas and

inspiration to do a process which can improve the proposal to serve the purpose of its

development.
