Conclusion

Throughout the site visit, I had learnt the real feeling compared with study at the university lifestyle. It was more tough than I was thought. It really a fresh experience for me that I ever had. I learnt to be more patient and careful because of the weather condition and the risk will be happen everywhere on the site. Teamwork also an important element in constructing a building.

In the university, I will only learnt about the knowledge based on the slide or book that given by lecturers to improve ourselves. But we can’t feel the real life working on outside.

As conclusion, I had gained a lots knowledge about the basic of the construction process, experience of actual working space, the usage of machinery, the usage of technology and different of building materials and others. The most memorable moment was the contractor let us to walk down scaffolding from 5th floor to experience the reality of the professionals .

The site visit was useful and bring me to overcome the problem which could happen in my future. I wish I could have more practical knowledge to prepare a better me in my working future.
