Building Construction I - Project 1 (Experiencing Construction)

This was the first project assigned to us which we were required to form a group of 8 and go on a site visit to selected construction site for documentation and to help us have a better understanding about the construction industry.

The objectives of this project are as followed :

1. To introduce basic principles and procedures of construction process through real life project (experiential learning).
2. To understand the sequence and coordination of construction at site.
3. To expose students to construction technology/methods responding to site context.
4. To allow student to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of construction, material and technology.
5. To train students to produce manual sketches, drawings and detailing relating to existing construction.


Through this project, I was given the chance to visit the construction site myself and really experienced and observed the process, making of each part of a building. Besides, it was really an eye-widening experience as by the guide of the consultant at the construction site we were exposed to many more extra knowledge and situations about how they work in a site. It was really memorable to be able to see all these things with my own eyes.
