PROJECT INTRODUCTION

For this final assignment, we were assigned to search for a

specific empty land outside the boundaries of Taylor’s University

to initiate a small construction project as a group of 2 along with an

individual project proposal.

The size of the land chosen should be between 50m x 50m

(2500m2) - 50m x 70m (3500m2) which is mentioned in the project

brief. Furthermore, we are also required to serve one of the

proposal mentioned, which includes : Recreation, Commercial,

Industrial, Agricultural, Tourism, and Residential area.

The objective of this project is to enable students to develop an

understanding of the building team, its organization, duties and

inter-relations. Besides that, it is to develop an awareness of their

professional responsibilities and to appreciate their profession in

the construction industry.

The learning outcomes of this project is that students will be

able to explain the need to coordinate and develop an

understanding of coherent working relations among various

industry players and to improve the communication channels.

Secondly, students will have the ability to document their

observations and understanding from interview session and

research resources as well as to communicate their findings in a

systematic and convincing presentation and reports. Lastly,

students will have the ability to justify the feasibility of a

development and improve the proposal to serve the purpose of the

development.

BACKGROUND OF THE SITE

The piece of land we selected is an undeveloped piece of barren

land, thus we decided to select this particular land. The land is

located at Persiaran Damai Utama 2, Puchong, Selangor. Besides

that, the total size of the land is 8114m2, therefore we chose to

develop 3500m2 of the land.

The chosen land is faced to the North, and there are a few

commercial blocks located right in the opposite of the land.

Furthermore, there is a T-junction beside the land that is linked to

the Kinrara Residence.

ADVANTAGES Our site is easily accessible from many various roads leading to

it. It is a middle upper class residential area with two storey terrace

houses on the side and shop lots on the front, just across the street.

The shop lots already generates existing traffic to the area, but

there is no traffic jam in the area. Thus, this specific land is perfect

to be in the area of our potential clients. Besides that, the area has

restaurants, mini marts, and other various types of shops with a

bountiful parking space.

Furthermore, the land is also barren. There are no obstructions of

any sort from the surrounding area of the land, this gives us a wide

expanse of open space, providing us with a great space of

development. The land has good ventilation due to the large open

space. Other than that, the land is also readily flattened which

makes it easier to be developed because it helps saves time and

costs. The land is also equipped with a proper drainage system.

DISADVANTAGES Despite the advantages of the site, nothing comes completely

perfect. There are no existing shades, trees, and any sort of

covering in the site. Due to the matter, it is rather hot and the air

quality of the site is rather bad.
