IntroductionIn this project we were tasked to locate a site

of 30m x 30m of vacant land to initiate a certain construction to serve a purpose.

The aim of this project is to enable students to develop an understanding of the building team, its organization, duties and inter-relations within which they will seek employment, career progression or further study. To develop an awareness of their professional responsibilities and to appreciate their profession in the construction industry.

During every section of the proposal, we can learn about the coherent working relations among various industry players. We will be able be to document our analysis and research resources as well communicate ideas in systematic and convincing presentations and reports.

Introduction to The Site

In this assignment our site of 30m x 30m will be allocated at Jalan PJS 7/7. My group mate and I have discussed about the site and decided to present a construction proposal to recreate the empty area, which is an underdeveloped park in PJS 7/7 close to a residential area. We decided to choose this area because it would be such a waste to let this undeveloped land to not be used, so I decided to propose a residential construction here because there is a university located nearby Taylor’s Lakeside Campus, this will help students looking for a place to rent.
