ICI FINAL PROJECT CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL TAN JIA SAN 0322406

RATIONALE

1.1 PROPOSAL : We are given the task to observe and analyse a specific empty land. Then we are give the task to initiate a small construction project individually . The entire site that we have chosen will be utilized for recreation purpose , we will have to clean the land to be able to remodeled the soil. The recreation area will consist of small playground with fitness facilities , small pond with a gazebo and plants around the park . It is a combination of green space park and fitness park . 1.2 CONCEPT : WHY DO WE PROPOSED TO BUILD A RECREATION AREA ? The site is currently purposeless and it is an empty space surrounded by residential area and commercial area . I found that it would bring a lot of fun for people living around . It would be great to have a green space and fitness park in combined not only suitable for kids but everyone to have a good time . It would be a nice place for families to have bonding time together during weekends or holidays . The surrounding is lack of greenery , therefore the action to renovate the site with natural approach is necessary . There will be lots of plants surrounding to provide a natural environment . 2. BENEFITS 2.1 COMMUNITY BENEFIT Having such an opportunity of implementing a park with fitness facilities and resting area is a revolutionary step for the community, to provide the villagers a much better and healthier environment . The park will also built in green

space concept . Making people living here link to the nature and develop a deep sense of integration which for the nature . They can also improve their lifestyle and get a healthier body by using fitness facilities. Families can have bonding time together . Parents and grandparents can rest and chit-chat in the gazebo while the kids can play in the playground. Beside that , they can also enjoy beautiful scenery in the park . 2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT : It is scientifically proven that the presence of plants can improve the surrounding or quality .Plants absorbs the main pollutant of the air , carbon dioxide and release oxygen which is beneficial for the residents’ health and thus reducing the carbon dioxide concentration around the area . Besides , plants can reduce the overall temperature of an area. The trees also provide natural shade which blocks the sun and its heat . 2.3 PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFIT : The park can also help people to release stress and enjoy the scenery . They can have relax time without thinking about stressful thing and worrying about anything. 3 IMPACTS : It will cost very high on its materials and during construction stage . Furthermore , it will also cause sound pollution during construction which will affect the residents.


DESCRIPTION OF MY PROPOSED PROJECT First of all , lets start by the ground which is fully flourished by green grass. Then we have a gazebo on a circular bricks base and a small pond beside gazebo . People can sit on the benches in the gazebo and rest on . The benches and gazebo are made from woods. Next , the small pond will be surrounded by rocks to prevent children from felling into the pond . There are trees surrounding the pond and gazebo. Two stone pathways connecting the resting area from the entrance of the park . Some small plants will be planted around the park . There is a playground beside the gazebo. Some fitness facilities are available in the park . The shrubs is placed in a strategic place which will blind the people from outside to see through the park fully . This is to provide some privacy for the youngster .The trees in the park also act as natural shades to people .



LIST OF PROFESSION AND THEIR TASK There are few professions involve in this project.

The professions involved are : ARCHITECT

§ Architect creates designs for new projects , alterations and redevelopments.

§ An architect stay involved throughout the construction process , adapting their plans according to budget constraints, environmental factors or client needs .

§ He involves in choosing the materials to be used and specifying the requirements for the project .

§ He works closely with a team of other professionals such as quantity surveyor, contractor , civil engineer and landscape architect .

§ He adapts plans according to circumstances and resolving any problems that may arise during construction.

§ He applies for planning permission and advice from governmental new build and legal departments .

§ He plays a part in project and team management. § Lastly , he travels regularly to building sites ,

proposed locations and client meeting. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT • Landscape architect specializes in planning and

designing open spaces . • Frist , he will talk to the client about the project • After that , he will survey the site and investigate its

natural resources and features as well as the wildlife and plants in the area.

• He will then plan, design and manage the park including both natural and built environments.

• He will choose trees , shrubs and plants that will suit the land type and the needs for the site .


• After planning and designing , he will use computer-aided design (CAD) packages to create plans.

• Landscape architect collaborates closely with landscape contractor .

• Before designing a landscape , he compiles and analyses data on condition , such as location , drainage,and location of structures or environmental reports and landscaping plans .

• He may involves in estimating cost and overseeing projects.

• Once work is underway , visiting the site to make sure the designs are being followed and work is running smoothly.

QUANTITY SURVEYOR • He is the person who is responsible for figuring out

just what a construction project is going to cost. • He also makes sure that construction costs and

productions are manage as efficiently as possible . • After architect designed the landscape , he will helps

define the project budget . • He checks the developing designs against the project

budget . • He involved in the project from the start, preparing

estimates and cost of the work . CIVIL ENGINEER • Civil engineer involved with design , development

and construction of a huge range of projects in built and natural environment .

• He will analyse survey , mapping ,materials –testing datea with computer modeling software.

• He assesses the potential risk of specific projects, as well as undertaking risk management in specialist roles.



• He also involve in managing, supervising and visiting contractors on site and advising on civil engineering issues .

• Besides, civil engineer also inspect project sites to monitor progress and ensure conformance to design specification or safety and sanitation standards.

• Before the construction starts, he will test soils and materials to determine the adequacy and the strength of foundations , concrete , asphalt, or steel .

GENERAL CONTRACTOR • General contractors, also known as construction

managers and construction project managers , oversee building projects from inception through completion .

• They plan all phases of a construction project. • They also estimate the costs of materials and

staffing. • A general contractor is responsible for the overall

coordination of a project. • Throughout this park construction , the contractor will

provide all of the materials, labor, equipment( tools and engine).

• He will contact companies that supply concrete, steel , and other building material to build up the park .
