INTRODUCTION

This assignment, we were assigned to search for a piece of land

50X60

m outside of Taylor’s University and initiate a small construction

project along with a report proposal.

The size of the land chosen should be vacant and not exceed

50X70m.Based on the project brief , we require to serve one of the

purposes which is ( recreation area , commercial area , industrial area,

agricultural area , tourism area, residential area ) . We have to talk

about rationale , benefits and impacts of the purposes.

The main purpose of this project is to enable us to acquire an

understanding of the construction team, its organization, inter-

relations and duties. The project also help us become aware of the

processes of the construction teams professional roles and

responsibilities and to value their professions in the construction

industry.

PROJECT CONCEPT

Suggestions

I’ve decided to purpose a food court on ground floor and second floor I decided to purpose

coffee shop and basement for parking area. I decided to build up here because there is less

cheap food court and coffee shop. around our site. The site is located near the residential area,

school and others. People go to work or school will pass through the site. It is convenient for

peoples grab their food . Student also can go to the second floor to do their assignment in the

coffee shop. It become a new resting place for people.

Natural

The concept focuses on nature and greenery in the site. The nature concept brings people into

a friendly, natural environment , a placed in a natural atmosphere of strategically placed

elements of wood and plants . I decided to use the grass to build up on the floor ,then place

the chairs and table on the grass like green landscaping . It help customers feel more

connected to nature. Greenery can helps our eyes and helps the microclimate to become

cooler.

Food court

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASK

PROFESSIONS AND THEIR TASK INVOLVED:

CONTRACTOR

ARCHITECT

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

QUANTITY SURVEYOR

CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEER

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL

ENGINEERING

SUPPLIER

CONTRACTOR

What contractor do is overseeing 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 detail-oriented and who

enjoys working on construction sites but may not be enthusiastic about rewiring

cables or rerouting plumbing themselves.

There are 2 parts of duties which is primary duties and secondary duties

Primarily duties is responsible for completing a building project on time

and within a budget. Contractors generally don't do any of the heavy lifting on a

construction site themselves, but they oversee teams of contractors and

subcontractors who are doing the work.

ARCHITECT

An architect is someone who loves to design, and is specifically trained and

licensed to work on the planning and design of buildings. The facets of an

architect's role are as varied and fascinating as their work; these are

professionals who lead the process of creating functional spaces, from concept

and design to a full realization of those designs.

Typical work activities include:

Architect need to comply with building and safety regulation, local planning

regulations and restrictions. Depending on the project there may be laws

surrounding the preservation of the local environment or any historic parts of a

building. Important is regular client meetings are to establish requirements and

discuss detailed design proposals or heading up the team of professionals who

will work on this stage of the project including engineers, designers and

financiers is also essential.

working around constraining factors such as town planning legislation, environmental

impact and project budget

working closely with a team of other professionals such as building service engineers,

construction managers, quantity surveyors and architectural technologists

applying for planning permission and advice from governmental new build and legal

departments

writing and presenting reports, proposals, applications and contracts

choosing the materials to be used and specifying the requirements for the project

playing a part in project and team management

travelling regularly to building sites, proposed locations and client meetings

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

Before construction, Landscape Architecture need to do research on the project,

including :

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;

presenting proposals to clients, dealing with enquiries and negotiating any

amendments to the final design;

making site visits;

authorising payment once work has been satisfactorily completed;

attending public inquiries to give evidence if necessary;

generating new business opportunities.

QUANTITY SURVEYOR

Quantity surveyors are responsible for the cost of any building project - from

initial estimates, right through to the final acquisition of materials. Surveying

jobs and their associated roles are varied - but focussed on providing clients

value for money while adhering to the strict regulations which govern every

aspect of the construction industry.

While the very nature of construction work ensures no two projects are

ever the same, a typical work day might involve:

preparation of contracts, including details regarding quantities of

required materials

on-going cost analysis of maintenance and repair work

feasibility studies of client requests

analysing completed work and arranging payment to contractors

allocating upcoming work to contractors

site visits, assessments and projections for future work

keep track of any variations to the contract the may affect costs and create

reports to show profitability.

CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEER

Structural engineers are primarily concerned with designing aesthetically

pleasing buildings and structures that are safe and capable of withstanding the

elements to which they will be exposed.

preparing reports, designs and drawings

making calculations about loads and stresses

selecting appropriate construction materials

providing technical advice

obtaining planning and/or building regulations approval

liaising with relevant professional staff

monitoring and inspecting work undertaken by contractors

administering contracts

managing projects

inspecting properties to check conditions/foundations

MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of

engineering, physics and material science for the design, analysis,

manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. They work on a project

from the initial brief, through the design and development stage to the testing

phase and following the project through right up implementation, right down to

producing details of specification and outline designs. Mechanical and electrical

engineering need to discuss and cooperate with architect and produce an

electrical plan. During construction, the engineering need to monitor the

installation process. After the construction, mechanical and electrical

engineering also have responsible on maintenance in certain time limit (2-

3years)

SUPPLIER

A supplier is a supply chain management term that mean anyone who provided

goods or services to a company or individuals. Supplier will supply materials to

the site. Supplier also need to ensure the quality of the material. A supplier is

often the one who manufactures inventoriable items, and sell those items.

Supplier also need to ensure the installation of the materials and equipment goes

smoothly. Supplier also sometimes recognized as a subcontractor because of

their large contributions to a project.
