INTRODUCTION

For this assignment,we were assigned to search for a specifc emptypiece of land with a size between 2500m² – 3500m² to initiate a smallconstruction project along with a report proposal.

The size of the land chosen, should not be smaller nor exceed therequired size of 2500m² – 3500m². What is mentioned in the projectbrief is that we require to serve one of the purposesmentioned.Including, Recreational Area, Residential Area,Commercial Area, Industrial Area, Agriculture Area, Tourism Area andResidential areas.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to enable us students to aquire anunderstanding of the construction team, organization, inter-relations,and duties within which they seek employment, career progressions aswell as future studies.

Other than that, it also helps us become aware of the constructionprocesses of the construction team's professional roles andresponsibilities. Not to forget the values of the professions present inthe construction industry.

We students are also encouraged to deepen our understandings onthe processes in which it takes to submit the accurate buildingproposal to our local authorities.

PROJECT BENEFITS

On successful completion of this assignment, we students are able todemonstrate the need to coordinate and develop an understanding ofcoherent working relations among various industries players as well asimproving our communication channels. Other than that, we alsogained abilities to document our observation and understanding fromresearch resources and to communicate their fndings in a systematicalso convincing presentation and report. Not to forget, the ability tojustify the feasibility of a development and to improve our proposal toserve the aim of it.

SUCESS CRITERIA

If all the construction scheduling goes according to plan,materials arrived on site on time, documentations getsapproved, workers do not slack, I believe that this will bean interesting empty site to develop on.

INTRODUCTION TO OUR SITE

The selected site is located at Subang Jaya, Selangor. Originally, thissite is nothing but an empty land that is overgrown nature with wildstray dogs inhabiting the land. However, this site has raw potentials asit is surrounded by residential area, commercial area, sportsrecreational area and an educational area. The site is located in JalanSS16/1, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. It is surroundedwith commercial areas namely Toyota Service Centre which is justbeside the site, a driving range namely Subang Racquet and Golfcentre which is facing the site. Other than that, residential areas suchas Olive Residence which is a condominium nearby. Furthermore,SS19 a housing area which consists of landed properties whichincludes terrace houses and semi-detached houses. There is also aschool in the neighbourhood namely SK SS17. In addition, thisneighbourhood takes a few minutes to reach nearby town such asShah Alam. This neighbourhood can also be easily linked via roadsand highway such as Jalan Kemajuan Subang Highway.

ADVANTAGES

Our site is surrounded by residential area, commercial area and recreationalarea, with that already built around our propose site it already generate existingtraffc to the area. With a large community around the site, it will help promotemore visitors to come to our site. The land is also barren because it does nothave any obstruction of any sort from any area, giving us a wide expense of openspace, providing us with a great space for development. Ohter than that, thereare currently existing shades such as trees and high rise condominiums. So, it hasrather good air ventilation. Hence, the air quality at the site is in good hands.

DISADVANTAGES

Despite the positive elements present in our site, but nothing comes completelyperfect. Therefore, one of the faws would be the limited amount of highways androads to the site, there is only one highway leading to our site. Other than that,the land is not readily fatten which makes things harder to develop, thus the costfor develop is higher and consumes more time.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

After carrying out the site visit and SWOTanalysis, I discovered the strength,weakness, opportunity and threats of thissite. I also studied about the facilities nearbyand the potential of the site. There are a lotof residential areas surrounding thislocation, but there is no main ftness centrebesides the driving range just right next tothe site. Hence, after careful considerations, I’ve decided to proposethe empty land into a commercial area which will be a ftness centre. Itwill be named as the “Empire Fitness Centre”. There will be six foorsincluding a garden on the rooftop. It will be a benefcial place toresidents that suits their needs as an individual since everyone hastheir own needs when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.Besides, the goal of my proposed ftness centre is to enhance thequality of ones health through ftness. By this mean, the residentsliving around won’t have to travel far just to workout. All they have todo is just to walk or drive for several minutes and there they are, theperfect place for them to sweat it off.

There are many benefts of a rooftop gardenbeyond the fact that they can be quiet retreats. Theyadd another dimension of green space to an urbanscape without taking up an extensive area of land indensely populated places.These relatively simplechanges to rooftops can greatly beneft our urbanareas. Here are some examples of the advantages ofrooftop gardens: Green roofs can help in theabsorption of carbon dioxide and help reduce airpollution,economically, there are no additional landcosts and temperatures around the building can belowered in the summer. Therefore, I haveimplemented this idea into my proposal. There will also be a:

THE RATIONALE

After studying the facilities nearby and the potential of the site, i've noticed that thereare a lot of residential areas surrounding this location, but there is no main ftness centrebesides the driving range just right next to the site. Hence, after careful considerations,I’ve decided to propose a ftness centre because It will be a benefcial place to residentsthat suits their needs as an individual since everyone has their own needs when it comesto maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Other than that, to enhance the quality of the resident's health and lifestyle throughftness. By this mean, the residents living around won’t have to travel far just to workout.All they have to do is just to walk or drive for several minutes and there they are, theperfect place for them to sweat it off.

PROJECT BENEFITS AND IMPACTS

From this project, there are ample of positive effects and impacts to the community, aperson's health and also the environment. I have analysed as listed below to ensure thisproject will be benefcial and functional in the future.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS:

A ftness centre wil give communities an important identity. Well-maintained, accessibleplace and ftness facilities are key elements of safe, strong, family-friendly communities. Other than that, Citizens’ qualities of health improves when they are welcomed to amore healthier life through ftness.Furthermore,exercising reduces depression,alienation, loneliness, and anti-social behaviour.Last but not least, ftness centre provideopportunities that encourage citizens to get involved in sports to be more productiveand health-conscious.

23

HEALTH BENEFITS:

Citizens will then have proper facilities to exercise that leads to a healthier lifestyles forpeople from every age range. Other than that, strong evidence shows that when peoplego to ftness centres, they exercise more because they will have motivation looking atothers leading a healthy life through ftness. In addition, in every time sedentary peoplewalk a mile on a threadmill or exercise, they add 21 minutes to their life. On average,every hour they spend exercising increases their life expectancy by two hours. Exercisealso increases the brain’s capacity for learning and developing skills. Physical activitiessuch as jogging, wall climbing and skating can improve mental health effectively.

ECONOMIC BENEFITS:

Fitness centres enhance property values, contribute to healthy and productiveworkforces and help attract and retain businesses.A ftness centre can facilitate andmake communities desirable places to live, work, play and visit.They motivate businessrelocation and expansion in the community.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS:

While this project will emphasis on being environmentally friendly. A rooftop garden isimplementef. Rooftop gardens help improve microclimate to make the area cooler.Here are some examples of the advantages of rooftop gardens: Green roofs can help inthe absorption of carbon dioxide and help reduce air pollution,economically, there areno additional land costs and temperatures around the building can be lowered in thesummer. Therefore, it brings benefts to the environment.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASK

Professions involved in this project :

1) Architect2) Landscape Architect3) Quantity Surveyor4) Civil Engineer5) Mechanical Engineer6) Electrical Engineer7) Contractor

1. ARCHITECT

An architect is someone who designs, and is specifcally trained and licensed to work onthe planning and design of buildings. The facets of an architect's role are as varied andfascinating as their work; these are professionals who lead the process of creatingfunctional spaces, from concept and design to a full realization of those designs.Therefore, as a leader of various projects, from something as small as an addition tosomeone's home, to something as large as a hospital, college campus, or an entireneighbourhood, the role of an architect is to bring together the creative ideas andvisions of the client and keep in mind the needs of those that will be using the newspace.An architect is not just involved in the design of a building. As a licensedprofessional they are also responsible for public safety and overseeing of projects. Theirrole is important in every stage of the building's construction, from the initial concept tothe opening ceremony when the building is complete. Beyond completion, an architectoften remains involved in a project as buildings evolve to incorporate new surroundingsand ideas. The aspects of work can be split into three main roles or phases- the design,documentation and construction roles. In the design role, an architect is hired by a clientto produce detailed designs of a concept or idea that the client wants to bring to reality.As well as needing creative design ideas, this part of the role involves a great deal oftechnical knowledge and responsibility. There is a need to comply with building andsafety regulations, local planning regulations and restrictions. Depending on the projectthere may be laws surrounding the preservation of the local environment or any historicparts of a building. Regular client meetings are important to establish requirements anddiscuss detailed design proposals.

25

2. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

Landscape architects are the people that beautify the areas around public and privatebuildings. Golf courses, parks, and public gardens with beautiful fowers and stoneworkare the fnished products of a talented landscape and garden architect. These artistscreate breathtaking outdoor places by using fowers, trees, stone, fountains, sidewalks,and pathways as well as other structures to complement each other. People in thisprofession will create the layouts for popular arboretums and public walking trails.Whimsical, fun playgrounds are also designed by these outdoor architects. Landscapearchitects work with their clients to meet the end result the client would like to see fortheir plot of land. No matter how big or small the plot, landscape architects can turn abland piece of earth into something marvelous.. The job of the architect is to come upwith the vision for the space and draw up the plans in explicit detail so they can be easilyread and followed by other workers. Landscape architects design the aesthetic layout ofgolf courses and shopping malls as well as other public places. They can also be hiredprivately to design the landscaping of homes and gardens. Landscape architects canalso choose to work in the environmental feld designing conservation lands, such aswetlands, and participating in historic restoration endeavors. Though it is a large part ofthe job, landscape architecture isn’t all about the aesthetics. Architects must also takethe environment into consideration, as well as the budget of the people they aredesigning the garden or landscaping for.

3. QUANTITY SURVEYOR

A quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects,from the initial calculations to the fnal fgures. Surveyors seek to minimise the costs of aproject and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standards andquality. Many of these are specifed by statutory building regulations, which thesurveyor needs to understand and adhere to. A quantity surveyor may work for eitherthe client or the contractor, working in an offce or on site. They are involved in a projectfrom the start, preparing estimates and costs of the work. When the project is inprogress, quantity surveyors keep track of any variations to the contract that may affectcosts and create reports to show proftability. The title of the job may also be referred toas a construction cost consultant or commercial manager.

26

4.CIVIL ENGINEER

A civil engineer works in engineering areas in overseeing, designing and planningconstruction and maintenance of building structures and/or facilities, like, irrigationprojects, power plants, bridges and other sites. They inspect work sites to ensureconformance to safety and design specifcations and monitor progress of the project.They give estimates of cost materials and quantities or the project site's maintenance.They can provide the technical advice needed for structural repairs, programmodifcations or regarding design. A civil engineer would determine the strength andadequacy of steel, foundations, asphalt or concrete by testing materials or soils. Indetermining design specifcations to material stress factors or water fow rates theywould grade and compute load requirements. A civil engineer uses design softwareand drawing tools to follow construction and/or government standards in designingand planning hydraulic systems or transportation and structures. They analyze aerialphotography, geologic data, maps, blueprints and other types of reports and surveys toplan projects. He or she would sometimes give reports on subjects, like, environmentalimpact statements, bid proposals or other public reports.

5.MECHANICAL ENGINEER

Mechanical engineers are typically involved with the generation, distribution, and use ofenergy; the processing of materials; the control and automation of manufacturingsystems; the design and development of machines; and the solutions to environmentalproblems. Research, testing manufacturing, operations, marketing, and administrationare some other key activities associated with practicing Mechanical Engineers.Mechanical engineers are characterized by personal creativity, breadth of knowledge,and versatility. They are also valuable and reliable multidisciplinary team members. Thetechnical subject areas that form the main basis for their work include mechanics,energy transfer and conversion, design and manufacturing, and the engineeringsciences. Through clever use of analysis, modeling, design, and synthesis, they solveimportant problems to improve quality of life. Mechanical engineers work on teamsresponsible for developing a wide range of products and systems including, forexample, space shuttle vehicles, aircraft of all sizes and shapes, automobiles, turbines,pumps, power plants, and factories. Virtually any machine or process you can think ofhas benefted from the infuence of a mechanical engineer. Everyday conveniences suchas refrigeration, microwave cooking, high-fdelity sound reproduction, transportation,communication, and copying are affordable largely because mechanical and otherengineers worked together to make it happen. Mechanical engineers are in demandnow, and projections for the future suggest a long-term need for professionals in thisspecialty.

27

6.ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

An electrical engineer is someone who designs and develops new electrical equipment,solves problems and tests equipment. They work with all kinds of electronic devices,from the smallest pocket devices to large supercomputers. Electrical engineering dealswith electricity, electro-magnetism and electronics. It also covers power, controlsystems, telecommunications and signal processing. These engineers are usuallyconcerned with large-scale electrical systems such as motor control and powertransmission, as well as utilizing electricity to transmit energy. Electrical engineers maywork on a diverse range of technologies, from the design of household appliances,lighting and wiring of buildings, telecommunication systems, electrical power stationsand satellite communications. They may plan their designs using computer-aidedsoftware or they may also sketch ideas by hand. Electrical engineers work on a variety ofprojects, such as computers, robots, cell phones, cards, radars, navigation systems,wiring and lighting in buildings and other kinds of electrical systems. Electricalengineers start out a project by defning what a new electronics should be able to do.They will then design the circuits and parts of the electronics using a computer. They willcreate a prototype and test the product to improve it. Most products do not workinitially or have some bugs that need to be fxed. The electrical engineer needs to fgureout the problem and make the product work.

7.CONTRACTOR

A contractor is a manager, and possibly a tradesman, employed by the client on the advice ofthe architect,engineer or the architectural technologist,or the client him/herself if acting as themanager. A contractor is responsible for the overall coordination of a project. A generalcontractor must frst assess the project-specifc documents referred as a proposal. In the case ofrenovations, a site visit is required to get a better understanding of the project. Depending onthe project delivery method, the contractor will submit a fxed price proposal or bid, cost plusprice or an estimate. The contractor considers the cost of home offce overhead, generalconditions, materials and equipment as well as the cost of labor to provide the owner with aprice for the project. Contract documents include drawings, project manual (including general,supplementary and/or special conditions and specifcations), addendum or modifcations issuedprior to proposal/ bidding and prepared by a design professional such as an architect. Thegeneral contractor may be the construction manager or construction manager at risk. Otherthan that, they are responsible for providing all of the material, labor, equipment such asengineering vehicles and tools and ervices necessary for the construction of the project. Thegeneral contractor hires specialized subcontractors to perform all or portions of the constructionwork. Responsibilities may include applying for building permits, securing the property,providing temporary utilities on site, managing personnel on site, providing site surveying andengineering, disposing or recycling of construction waste, monitoring schedules and cash fows.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Among the list of possible functions of the land, I have chosen todevelop a small recreational area on the piece of vacant area. Themain reason I chose to develop the vacant land into a recreationalarea is because the land is located within a residential area,commercial area and a driving ranch which is located opposite of thepiece of vacant land.

After site analysis, possible ideas and concepts that focus onrecreation and relaxation functions are conducted. I propose to buildan eco-friendly indoor pool centre named Serene Centre. It is to beconstructed for the benefts of locals and tourists to come relax andenjoy themselves with the facilities that will be provided indoors andoutdoors.

Taking inspirational designs of the layout of Serene Centre from theinternet and magazines I have chose to design an eco-friendly indoorpool centre with solar panels installed to conserve electricity and alsoregulate the temperature indoors. The building will be designed withclear glass as the back wall and windows on the top of the side walls.Abasement carpark will be buillt under the building. Visitors can takethe lift up to the indoor pool level.

31

CONCEPT AND INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES

The following concepts will be combined in the proposed site:

INDOOR POOL

The indoor pool centre is a place where people can come and enjoythemselves inside rather than the outside when the days are too hotfor us to take a dip in the pool outside. This is a place where kids andfamilies can splash around in the pool. Kids pool will be installed toofor the safety of the children.

32

SAUNA

Sauna rooms are provided for female and male respectively. Peoplecan use the sauna for relax and also for health benefts by raising theroom tempertaure and humidity.

ROOFTOP GARDEN

A rooftop garden is a garden on top of the building. Rooftop gardenserves lots of beneft purpose such as decorative beneft, temperaturecontrol, recreational opportunities and many more. Parents who arewaiting for their children who are swimming below can come up hereto wait and relax. People can also come up here for some packedlunch during lunch time.

33

PROJECT ADVANTAGES

The Serene Centre needs to be able to beneft the client and also thesurrounding community and also deliver the following elements andcharactheristics:

BONDING TIME

The proposed project site allows families and friends to cometogether to enjoy each others company which can strengthen theirbond by spending together.

HEALTH MAINTENANCE

It is an advantage for the people who rarely have the time to exerciseon a regular basis in the hustle and bustle of the city life byconstructing a recreation area like the Serene Centre. The communitycan maintain their health by conducting physical exercise indoors. Thesaunas provided in Serene Centre also serves health beneft purposefor the visitors.

SECURITY

To ensure the safety of the community, the area will be fenced toprevent unwanted accidetnts to occur. 24 hour surveillance camerawill be installed around the compound. Fire alarm will be installedindoors for possible fre occurance. Lifeguards will be on duty duringopen hours and the pool centre will provide frst aid kits for injuries.

34

PROJECT DISADVANTAGES

As the project bring positivity upon building an indoor pool cantre, itwill also cause negative impact. In order to ensure that the project willbe functional for the future, the following elements and characteristicswill be taken to account:

ENVIRONMENT

As an increase amount of people coming and going from SereneCentre, some inconsiderate people will be throwing waste around thearea causing cluster of rubbish accumulating in the area. The increasein traffc fow will cause the environment condition to worsen as thecars produces smoke that are harmful to the environment.

TRAFFIC JAM

Increase in traffc will occur as there is only one route to Serene Centreand also one route out of Serene Centre. Accidents and bad weathercan also increase the traffc jam.

PEOPLE

A school is located nearby and students might skip school and cometo Serene Centre without parental supervision or awareness. Thepeople will also be spending quite a lot of money by coming to theindoor pool centre frequently.

35

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

INDOOR

The main role of the indoor facilty is to enable to community to comeand enjoy themselves in the pool without worrying about their safetyand also the weather. During operating hours, the general managerwill make sure everything runs smoothly and the needs of the visitorswill be attended to.

OUTDOORS

The purpose of the rooftop garden is to enable the visitors to be ableto enjoy the natural environment provided. The increase of thesoftscape reduces the negative impact of the urban development.

36

RATIONALE

The project is built to cater to the people's enjoyment and healthpurpose. The design of the building is to built an eco-friendly buildingthat bring as little harm to the environment as little as possible and,also in which we could beneft from. A sustainable building that isenergy effcient. An extraordinary experience cannot only be built inthe walls of our home, school or offce, we can also create memoriesand strengthen the relationship between each other with outdoorcurriculum activities. It is also about the relationship that we can builtwith the nature. It is for that reason that Serene Center was built toimplement the beauty of nature and also to maintain a healty lifestyle.

As most of the people who lives in the hustle and bustle of the city, werarely get the chance to get a chance of regular exercise. By building arecreation area nearby residential areas, I would like to give thepeople an opportunity to promote a more healthy lifestyle. I want tocreate a space with an atmosphere that provides the most relaxing,enjoyable experience for the visitors. And also providing facilties forthe visitors to be comfortable and safe in Serene Center.

To fulfll my objective of proposing this idea of creating a recreationarea at my project site, I would like to re-introduce a healthy lifestylefor the community of Subang Jaya through the creation of SereneCentre.

37

PLAN VIEW OF INDOOR POOL
