Private International School

Straits International Education Group Sdn Bhd

Located in Taman Sari Rawang, Selangor

3 storey building – Max. 1000 students

PROJECT BRIEF SUMMARY

Front Elevation

Sides Elevation

Vibrating floor on 3rd floor as the sport activities are active on that floor causing

noise pollution affecting room on the lower level facilities such as Classrooms

The open-air area on the roof floor is not appropriate for badminton court to function

Lack of roofing to sports courts on 3rd floor, affecting the function of the space and

its whole life costing.

Having playground and playroom on the Ground Floor, which both spaces are

supporting function with the same objective

PROBLEM BRIEF SUMMARY

Vibrating floor on 3rd floor as the sport activities are active on that floor1

Fast Diagram – Acoustic wall panel

To provide a better sound proof system to the classroom at second floor to avoid interferences from the surrounding.

To provide a better study and working environment for the user.

To prevent idling of the space due to the distraction from surrounding.

To avoid extra cost of installation after the building constructed.

Vibrating floor on 3rd floor as the sport activities are active on that floor (Cont’d)1

Fast Diagram – Sound and vibration absorbing mat

To install sound and vibration absorbing mat below 3rd floor slab, above ceiling, for all classroom at 2nd floor to absorb

the vibration and noise from the floor above due to heavy activities.

Provide a better environment to the classroom and for user. As for the Multipurpose hall, the sound and vibration

absorbing mat will be adding above the slab to prevent the sound pollution to other activities happen near to the hall.

The open-air area on the roof floor is not appropriate for badminton court to function2

Value Tree Diagram

To put the space of badminton court for a better use, it could be replace by tennis course where the expenses to build a tenniscourt will nearly be the same cost as the original badminton court.

Tennis game will not affect by the wind effect at the top floor of the building.

The value tree analysis tool shows that changing the space to a tennis court is the most efficient way to add more value to the space and at the same time it is also the most cost saving plan.

Priority Setting Matrix

Weighted Scoring Matrix

Steel roofing lifespan are expected to last a lot longer.

No need for any chemical treatments to maintain the frame and prevent risk of insect infestations

A strong and firm structure and also lightweight, making them easier and quicker to transport and

install.

Any climate changes, steel roofing could withstand it better than the other material.

Creativity Technique

One of the underlying fundamental concepts of VM is to promote innovative solutions. The VM team used

the functional analysis to foster innovation. Solving question such as ‘What must the component do?’ which

raises the level of abstraction enabling the team to come up with alternative ways to fulfill the function

‘What must the component do?’ – To accommodate students and to facilitate activities

Alternative ways to fulfill the function? – Combining the two space into one

CONCLUSION

The introduction to Value Management during the design stage is vital as it is considered the

perfect timing to address all existing issues of the project as any changes implied to the

design will not be costly and negates all imposition of risk. With both design and functional

aspects resolved, the Client will not have to worry about additional costs of changes to be

implied later on. The total outcome of the design changes will impose an additional sum of

costs, while assuring the low maintenance costs of these elements in the prospective future.
