PROJECT 1 - EXPERIENCING CONSTRUCTION

For this project, we are required to select an ongoing construction site which visibly demonstrate most of the subject topics covered in the syllabus. The selected site should be medium rise or low rise building such as bungalow, terrace houses or maximum 4 storey building. Moreover, we had to identify the different types of building element and its construction process, details and materials. Specifically, we should able to show and apply the knowledge in the details of the building construction drawing that we are to compile, and reflecting your understanding of construction itself.

Through this project, I am able to introduce the basic principles and procedures of construction process through the real-life project. Through the site visit, i also understand the sequence and coordination of construction on site. On the site, we had exposed to the construction technology and methods to construct which also need responding to the site context. We also learned to produce manual sketches, drawings and detailing relating to existing construction and this also helped us to demonstrate the understanding and knowledge of construction, material and technology.
