Objective

1. To let us experience how an environment of a construction site going to be like and

learn to face hot condition of the weather when we start working.

2. To let us know the importance of taking care of our safety at site, to follow all safety

precaution that is been mentioned so that accident or injury happen during the

building construction can be avoided. The top priority before going in a site is safety

helmet must be wore at all time during the site visit.

3. To increase our knowledge about construction that we didnt learn in class

4. To let us identify various types of building materials that is used in construction like

concrete, timber, metal and etc. Not only had that, knowing the technology and the

method used to build the building and to talk to the superior to know more about the

construction of the building.

5. To collect more information for this project and to observe the usage of the

machinery plant at the construction site like the bar bending machine can be seen at

the site

6. To be able to identify the items measurable for sub-structure and superstructure

works.

CONTENT/TECHNICAL OBSERVATION

On the 29thNovember 2013, we had a site visit to a construction site near the UEM

Sunrise Berhad, Symphony Hills Clubhouse, Persiaran Simfoni Cyber9, 6300 Cyberjaya,

Selangor. The Senior Project Manager and engineer that welcomed us is call Mr Umar

Sabtu and Mr Zul Repectively. At 9.30a.m., we have been brought to the office first to give a

slight briefing and information about the site before we entered. The site that we are visiting

is constructing a 46 unit Terrace house. At 10 a.m., we have been brought into the site and

ongoing our tour around the site.

First, Mr Umar and Mr Zul brought us to a place to show us the foundation that is

used in these Terrace house. The foundation that are used for these Terrace house is quite

unique because is a combination of pad footing and raft foundation. Based on Mr Umar, the

purpose of doing that is because the load cant take it if raft foundation is been fixed only

because it the load will be too concentrated on a spot only. So with a combination pad

footing the load will be separated evenly and it will make the building firm and stable.

After that, we have been brought to the bar bending yard where all the cutting and

bending of bars happen at that area. There are many different types of bars and different

diameter of it too. Not only that, we saw few men bending bars and cutting bars using a bar

bending and bar cutting machine which is not a easy job to do because the bars are thick

and a lot of strength is needed to do it.

After that, we have been brought to a 1stfloor area that will be building a beautiful

elevated garden there which is similar with the one at Desa Park City that is mentioned by

Mr Umar. Lastly, after the tour around the site is done, we are been given chances to ask Mr

Umar and Mr Zul more information about the site project so that we can compile all the

information to put into our site report.

LEARNING OUTCOMES/CONCLUSION

After the site visit, I had gain a lot of knowledge and experiences from the real

working environment on the site. Working at the contruction site is not an essay job as the

weather is usually hot. I was very tired and exhausted after the tour around the site visit is

done but It was worth it. As a quantity surveyor, I have to get suit of this hot environment

working place because this is what I am going to face in the future.

Not only that, I have also gain more knowledge about construction that I didntlearn it

in class. Through this site visit, I am able to recognise various types of building materials

used at the construction site. But the most important thing that I learn throughout the site

visit is safety always come first. Ive learn to always wear my safety helmet to prevent

injuries happen. It is also important to follow the safety guidelines that is mentioned by the

supervisor.

Besides that, I have also gain a better understanding and clearer picture on the

basic construction process like we saw how bar-bending works and production of spacer

blocks are carried out, how orderly the reinforcement bars are stacked and kept at site. I also

have a better understanding on the sequence of work. Not only that, I am also able to

communicate with the construction team member during the site visit.

Lastly. I am honor to have this opportunity to go to the site to experience things that I

cant learn in class. The most important thing is that, this visit had enhanced my knowledge

about construction and with that I will understand more and clearer on how to do taking off.

Will hope that we can have the chance to visit more site.
