Identify Advantages and Disadvantages of our site

Advantages

Our site located right beside the main road, hence it is easily accessible

to the residential areas, commercial supermarkets and shop lots around

that area. It also located at the focus point of the whole area as it has

various roads leading to every residential areas. There are many facilities

nearby such as fast food restaurants, supermarkets and school hence,

people are most likely to spend more time at this area. The traffic

condition near our site is always great although it is linked to few

residential areas.

DisadvantagesAlthough our site has bring various benefits to the residents, but

nothing is perfect. Firstly, there is no recreation area, relaxation service

area or any sport central nearby. This caused the residents have no place

for sports and relaxation. Secondly, this area have insufficient of parking

spaces in this area as most of the car driver are forced to park their car

beside the road ,especially in front of the supermarkets and Mc Donald

fast food restaurant.

ConclusionAfter I have considering all the potential and disadvantages of the site I

have come out with an idea to develop this site into a combination of

recreation area, commercial area and parking area.

Benefits:A place for people to relax: Our site will become a place for public to

relax and do their sports activity

Solve the problem of insufficient of parking spaces: Our site will

provide parking services for public who wish to go for a walk nearby.

A place for people to communicate: Our site act as a place for the

residents to communicate which each another and meet new friends

Objective:-To build a sport area for the residents in Forest Height area

-To enclose the relation between neighborhood

-To promote and encourage residents awareness about importance of

exercise

-Act as a place to held community activities-Provide a relax and high standard sports environments-Act as a place for residents to get close to the nature-a place for all family members to gather (girls go for shopping, boy go

for sports!)

-a place to release stress and chill la~-provide more parking spaces to the visitors and residents nearby

Project concept

Professions involved and tasks

1. Architect

2. Contractor

3. Quantity Surveyor

4. Civil and Structural Engineer

5. Supplier

6. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

Architect

An architect is a person who plans, designs, and oversees the

construction of buildings. Architect has to produce some of the detail

drawing and come out with the idea of the whole building follow the

requirement of client. During the design phase, architect need to discuss

with the client about the requirement, concept and budget of the project.

After that architect need to heading up the team of professionals to do

their work and discuss about his design. Architect need to prepare and

present reports and design proposal to client.

During the documentation phase, architect need to produce some detail

drawing specifically using computer-aided design software. Some

professional software such as CAD is used to test the feasibility of the

design. Architect must also specifying the nature and quality of material

required to construct the building. After everything is finish documented,

architect need to prepare application for planning and building control

departments.

After all these application is done, now is the time to transform a

design into a real building. Once the project reached the construction

stage, architect need to visit the site regularly to ensure smooth progress.

If any problem happen, site meeting need to be held to change the design

or find out the solution to solve the problem. Architect also need to

ensure the project finished on time and within the budget to avoid over

budget and extensions of time limit.

Contractor

Contractor is someone who directly employs or engages construction

workers or manages construction. In this project, contractor need to

appoint a designer or a subcontractor to ensure the designer or contractor

has the skills, knowledge and experience and, where relevant,

organisational capability to carry out the work for which they are being

appointed.

A contractor also need to overseeing the whole project and make sure

everyone did their job well, and the work can be done before the due date.

Beside of employing the profession and worker, contractor need to

manage and organize all aspects of a building site.

The building contractor is also responsible for obtaining materials for the

project. As a contractor, they need to search for suppliers for different

materials that are needed in the project and compare the quality and price

of it, try to lower the budget and obtain good quality of materials.

Another responsibility of contractor is to acquire all necessary licenses

and permits from relevant entities so that the building project can begin.

These range anywhere from building licenses to zoning permits and there

are many regulations that relate to these documents which each building

contractor must follow in order to engage in construction.

QUANTITY SURVEYOR

A quantity surveyor (QS) is a professional working within the

construction industry concerned with construction costs and contracts.A

QS need to prepare tender and contract documents, including bills of

quantities with the architect and/or the client.

A QS need to minimize the cost of material for a project and enhance

value for money. QS need to seek for materials that are low cost ,high

quality and high quantity. Beside of controlling the materials price, they

also need to come out with the costing of repair and maintenance for a

project.

A QS have to give their advice on procurement strategy and providing

advice on contractual claims and insurances. QS also need to valuing

completed work and arranging payment from the client to the workers.

If the architect design is in a unit structure that will cost a lot of money,

QS need to give him advise to change his design and maintaining

awareness of different building structure may result in different prices.

A QS can either work for the client or the contractor, and either in an

office or at site. When project started, they need to keep track on any

variations that can affect the costs and send report to the client regularly

Civil and Structural Engineer

Civil and Structural Engineer (C&S) is a group of expect who are train to

ensure the safety of certain building in a project. C&S need to produce

with professional drawing, idea and reports and make calculation about

the safety of the building. The structural engineer need to calculate the

loads and stresses of a building to ensure it is strong enough to withstand

the weight in a building.

Before the construction work start C&S need to go to the site to

investigate about the hardness and quality of the land and ground and

identify either it is suitable for the upcoming project.

The C&S need to check and redesign or give advise to the architect

about his design to ensure the structural of the building is safe to build

and can withstand certain amount of load and humans inside the tall

building.

C&S also need to cooperate with some professional such as

environmental scientists , architect and landscape architect and

investigate the build site and the design that is suitable to be built on

certain land.

Civil engineer need to design the inner safety of a certain building such

as the fire control system and installing quick fire exit point that directly

access to an empty land. His job is to minimize the loss of life when

accidents happen. Civil engineer even have to check the safety of the lift

and design and arrange the pathway for the public to escape when the

building is on fire.

SUPPLIER

Supplier is someone who provide goods and materials to a certain

project. Supplier need to modify, package and supply the material to the

site when it receive order.

Supplier can be a manufactured factory or someone who sell the

materials. Some of the big supplier become a subcontractor and help the

contractor to hire profession and install certain material into the building.

Supplier also need to provide with transportation of materials to the site

and ensure the quality of material is excellent when it arrived at the site.

A delivery timetable need to be fix to ensure the stores have enough stock.

Supplier need to come to a duel either will the architect, contractor or

the QS about the price and the quantity of the material. Some of the

supplier even provide services to modify the material such as curving the

flat glass into sharp and additional charges will be calculated.

Supplier need to arrange the payment of materials from the contractor

and make calculation about the bills of material that sent to the

construction site.

Mechanical &Electrical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles

of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis,

manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical

engineer need to obtain the skill to read and interpret blueprint and

technical drawings. A mechanical engineer do their research and design,

install and operate mechanical product in certain building if required by

client.

Some of the mechanical engineer help in designing of building machines

such as Bulldozer, excavators which is use to transport and do heavy

work that can be done by human man. Beside of operating and design this

machines they have to have the knowledge to repair and maintain the

machines.

The electrical engineer need to cooperate with other engineers and

architect to come out with the electrical plan which show how the

electrical generate and transport to every single shop lots. Besides that,

electrical engineer need to design the lighting, heating and ventilation

system of a building.

To ensure the electrical system is safe to use and meet electrical and

construction safety regulation, electrical engineer need to test the whole

system and solve the issue facing related to electricity.

Electrical engineer also need to design the transportation and transport

networks. This is very important for a building to receive good signal.

CONCULSION

At the end of the project , we have concluded that is important for every

construction professional to cooperate as there are deep working relations

among various industry player.We have learn to design and plan a certain

area for it to be develop into a more valuable land.We also learn the skill

to draw a floor plan ,design of inner arrangement of a building.The most

important part is we have learn to observe and record as well as do site

analysis of our site to understand the micro climate , traffic and facilities

around it.

This project allow us to improve our documentation and observation

skill as well as to plan the way to present our research on paper.We also

learn to separate works and cooperate with our teammates and work out

effectively.

This project trade Qs and architect students equally. I as a Qs student

have learn a lot on how to do the costing work and do research on the

number of materials needed to build this building including the costing of

build in facilities such as air-conditional and doors.
