1 . 1  Pro jec t  Descr ipt ion  

For  our  final  project  for  the  subject  Introduction  to  Construction  Industry,  

we  were   asked   to  make   a   project   proposal.  Hence,   the   title  –  The  Project  

Proposal.   The   objective   behind   this   project   is   to   enable   us   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.   Not   only   that,   it   is   also   to   develop   an  

awareness   of   their   professional   responsibilities   and   to   appreciate   their  

profession  in  the  construction  industry.    

Basically,  our  project’s  name  is  called  “Maharajalela  Road  Hotel”.  It  involves  

the   construction  

of   a   budget   hotel  

right   beside   a  

staircase   that  

leads   to   the  

Maharajalela  

Monorail   Station.  

LOCATION PLAN  

The 30M X 30M SITE

N

The   project   is   on   top   of   a   30m   x   30m   vacant   ground,   located   at   Jalan  

Maharajalela,  Kuala  Lumpur,  Malaysia,  with   the   coordinates   of   3°8′20″N  

101°41′56″E.  

The  estimated  date  for  the  agreement  of  the  project  brief  to  be  signed  is  on  

November   18th   2014.   The   whole   construction   process   will   be   up   to  

approximately  6  months.  

(Site  Context)  

1. Kuan  Yin  Temple  

2. Wisma  Pahlawan  

3. Stadium  Merdeka  

4. Selangor  Chinese  Assembly  Hall  

5. Maharajalela  Monorail  Station  

6. Malayan  Public  Library  Association

1 . 2  S i t e  Analys i s  

These  are  the  photos  of  the  site.  

Our   site   is   actually   a   recent   large   vacant   space.  Before   this,   it  was  a   land  

filled  with  trees.  But  now  that  the  trees  have  been  timbered  down,  we  came  

up  with  a  site  analysis  and  it  showed  that  the  site  is  ideal  for  a  construction  

plan.  These  are  the  reasons  why:    

1. Next  to  a  monorail  station.  

• Tourists   or   locals,   who   uses   the   monorail   and   gets   down   at  

Maharajalela  Monorail  Station,  can  stay  at  our  hotel  proposed  at  

this  site  because  of  the  convenience  it  brings.  

2. Approximately  10  minutes  walk  away  from  Stadium  Merdeka.  

• If  there’s  a  sport  events  held  in  Stadium  Merdeka,  the  hotel  at  our  

site   is   the  perfect  place   to   spend   the  night   in   after   a   tiring   and  

fun  day/night  there.    

7

3. Ventilation  at  this  site  is  good  because  it  has  a  big  open  space.  

• This  benefits  our  hotel  at  our  site  because  it  is  cooling  and  breezy.  

Because   from   a   rational   perspective,   no   one   wants   to   stay   in   a  

place   where   it’s   hot   and   humid.   People   would   usually   aim   for  

places  with  a  comfortable  temperature,  and  a  nice  environment.  

1 . 3  PROJECT  CONCEPT  

We  have  teamed  up  to  brainstormed  and  discuss  ideas  as  well  as  concepts  

that   fit   in   this   construction   project   after   conducting   a   site   analysis.   In  

conclusion,  we  came  up  with  the  idea  for  our  finished  project  to  function  as  

a  place  for  people  to  stay  in  that  comes  with  an  affordable  price.  The  price  

for  a  night   in  this  hotel  will  be   fairly  reasonable,  which   is  why   it  will  be  a  

budget   hotel.  Our   targeted   customers   are   tourists  who   are   finding   a   fine  

place  to  live  in,  and  at  the  same  time  trying  to  save  money.

A  green  budget  hotel  building  

Due  to  Malaysia’s  tropical  weather,  the  exterior  of  the  budget  hotel  will  be  

filled  with  greenery  to  emit  more  breezy  air  to  the  surroundings.  Not  only  

that,   this   concept  will   attract  people’s   attention.  Besides,   this   concept  will  

definitely  attract  the  attention  of  other’s  because  it  is  unique  and  it  helps  in  

minimizing  the  carbon  footprints  we  humans  are  causing.  Basically,   it’s  a  

win-­‐win  situation.

1 .4  PROJECT  BACKGROUND  

Actually,   it’s  only  recently  that  this  site  has  become  a  vacant  space.  Before  

this,   it   is   actually   filled   with   trees   and   tall   grass.   Now   that   the   trees   are  

chopped  down  and  some  grass  got  trimmed,  this  area  requires  something  

for   it   to   be   a   sight   for   sore   eyes.  We   think   this   site   is   very   strategic   for   a  

budget   to   be   located   due   to   the   site   contexts.   For   example:  Maharajalela  

Monorail  Station,  Kuan  Yin  Temple,  as  well  as  Stadium  Merdeka.  These  site  

contexts  revolve  around  the  tourism  industry,  so  why  not  make  it  easier  for  

tourist   to   roam  around  by  building  a  budget  hotel   that   is   so  nearby  and  

convenient?  Therefore,  we  proposed  this  project.  

10

1 . 5  PROJECT  SUMMARY  

1. A  budget  hotel  will  be  built  to  utilize  the  vacant  space  in  the  site  we  

have  chosen.

be  promotions  on  the  prices  of  the  rooms.  

5. The   exterior   of   the   building   will   be   filled   with   greenery,   for   the  

surroundings  of  the  site  to  be  breezy  and  airy.    

6. An  underground  car  park  will  be  built  and  provided  for  guests  with

2 .  RATIONALE  AND  CLIENT  EVALUATION    

Our   site   that   we   chose   is   a   900  

square   meter   (30m   x   30m)   vacant   area  

next  to  the  Maharajalela  Monorail  Station.  

After   looking   at   the   area   features   the  

advantage   and   disadvantages   we   could  

design  around  the  site,  we  settled  on  the  purpose  of  our  site  to  be:  “Budget  

Hotel”.  For  this  construction  project,  we  decide  to  look  upon  the  weakness  

of   the   area   currently   the   facility   of   study   by  

doing  so,  we  are  able  to   issues  and  problems  

and  propose  a  plan  that  can  make  up  for  its  

shortcomings,  particular  at  the  Budget  Hotel  

area.  Through  analysis,  we  have  pinpointed  the  following  issues  of  the  area,  

which  we  hope  to  use  this  information  to  create  a  Budget  Hotel  area  fit  for  

the  clients  of  our  project.    

15

2 . 1   ISSUES  OF  THE  AREA  

1. Few   budget   hotel   and   some   old   hotel   is   already   existing   near   the  

area  of  the  site.  The  competition  for  the  walk-­‐in  guest  is  high.  

2. The   location   is   exactly   opposite   of   the   stadium,   that   is   why   when  

there   is   an   occasion,   event,   or   concert   the   area   will   be   noisy   and  

crowded.    This  will  affect  the  peace  in  the  area.  

3. The  area  is  a  bit  dark  especially  at  night.  There  is  inefficient  light  in  

the  main  road  especially  at  night.    

2 .2  BENEFITS  OF  THE  AREA  

1. Location-­‐wise  it  is  great  because  it  is  situated  in  the  center  of  Kuala  

Lumpur.  

2. Very   accessible,   because   it   is   near   to   the   Maharajalela   Monorail  

Station.  

3. Walking   distance   to   China   Town,   Times   Square,   as   well   as   Bukit  

Bintang.  These  3  are  one  of  Kuala  Lumpur’s  favourite  tourist  spots.  

4. About  15  minutes  drive  to  Petronas  Twin  Tower  that  used  to  hold  the  

record  for  World’s  Tallest  Building  Structure.  

5. 45  minute  drive  from  the  airport.  

16

2 .3  GOALS  OF  THE  CONSTRUCTION  PROJECT    

1. Site  should  be  simplistic  and  idealistic.  

2. Utilize  the  location  and  space  effectively.  

3. Compensate  the  failures  of  the  area  to  enhance  study.  

2 .4  CONCEPT  

1. The   concept   of   our   project   must   be   able   to   provide   a   comfortable  

space  for  the  traveler.  

2. We   also   implement   a   green   landscape   approach   that  will   help   the  

guest   to   feel   more   connected   to   the   nature   &   enable   to   make   the  

Budget  Hotel  progress  with  harmony  with  the  nature.  

3. It  should  address  the  issues  of  the  area  particular  the  issue  of  sound  

effect  from  stadium  specially  when  there  is  an  occasion  going  on  to  

the   area   as   a   result   we   should   provide   isolation   with   feeling  

claustrophobic  through  well  space  isolation  room.    

4. Grassy   field   and   implementation   of   green   approaches   provides  

customer  a  relaxing  and  cozy  space  as  well  as  encourage  green  space  

into   a   human   lifestyle   Isolation   rooms   provide   personal   space   and  

privacy  to  relax  and  enjoy  the  stay  in  the  budget  hotel.    

5. Open   space   gives   the   impression   of   freedom   -­‐   more   open   air  

especially  in  the  lobby  area.
