1.0 Introduction

1.1 General Purpose of Study

The internship training aim at exposing students to the requirements,

activities and operations involved in working in architectural / construction

practices. The purpose is to facilitate the involvement of students in

professional attachments to architectural practices in order to develop an

understanding of the general nature, principles and procedure of law and

legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the Building by-

Laws. Students will also be exposed to the process of authority submission for

various drawing from an architectural practice and the range of contract

documentation produced to support these drawings.

Through a full-time internship attachment, students will further

appreciate the documentation and report-writing skills required of an

employee (architectural assistant / architect) in a typical architect’s firm.

4.0 Conclusion

To conclude my internship experience, I would first like to express my

gratitude to Mr. Chaw Chee Yoong for patiently guiding me throughout the 9 weeks

spent in PORT 25. Despite being busy with projects in hand, Mr. Chaw has taught

me a lot in terms of Building By-Laws requirement and also construction details

and specifications.

Throughout the weeks of internship, it has been a great experience as I was

given the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in construction process and

permit applications. Other than that, it has provided me a chance to be exposed to

projects of different scale which helps me to understand the different matter and

thoughts needed to take into account during design.

After spending 9 weeks of my internship training in PORT 25, I have learned

how to think critically in terms of design and its practicality. Though there may be

some restrictions due to client’s budget, but it can be easily solved by improvising

some of the materials used for the design proposed. In addition, I manage to

improve my communication skills whereby I have learned ways to convey my idea

through diagrams which can be easily understand by laymen.

Finally, I would also like to thank my other co-worker for guiding me along the

way when I have encountered a problem. They have made my stay in PORT 25 an

unforgettable one.
