SITE INTRODUCTION

For our group, the specific empty land we looked upon is an undeveloped and unused piece of land located in Jalan Midah 8A (GPS Coor. : 3.100159, 101.728919) with a land size of 50m X 70m, We then decided that this undeveloped land is suitable and ideal to be develop. The site is not under maintenance such as trees and grass covered all over the area. There are many good reasons why we select this site, but the main reason is because it is located in a residential area surrounded by a few neighbourhoods, apartments and condominiums as it is an ideal site that benefits the residents. Land is relatively flat across with slight gradient

SITE ANALYSIS

! This site has been a vacant for a long time without any construction or development. Hence, most areas of the site is covered by trees and grass. A site analysis show that the site is ideal for development plan due to the following benefits : 1. Surrounded by dense residential area (Prisma Cheras , Prisma Perdana, Laman Midah Apartment, Taman Midah Flat & Prima Midah Heights) 3. Has a large unutilised space available for a new development. 4. Site is located right next to main road or Heart of the condominium units!

PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION In many cities today, including Kuala Lumpur, a Car (Private Vehicle) as a mean for transportation is constantly rising. With lack of public transport facilities, citizens are forced to depend on using private vehicles as a dominant mode of transport. But not only that, the increased usage of private vehicles is also due to having many advantages . For instance, the unrestricted freedom that a vehicle owner gets to enjoy is one of the main reason why many people prefer to drive. Whilst public transportation necessitate the sharing with strangers, a private vehicle provides privacy and comfort.

Moreover, a private vehicle is becoming more and more popular and dominant against public transport because it is always available when required, it takes the user from door to door and can reach almost any destination.

Kuala Lumpur, being the capital of Malaysia, is without doubt, constantly increasing in terms of population. This is where, every year there is a substantial increased amount of newly-registered motor vehicles.

Taman Midah, Cheras, KL is one of the main major 3 divisions in Cheras, the other two being Taman Yulek and Cheras Baru. Our site, being located in Jalan Midah 8, Taman Midah has an approximate 5 thousand residents alone in this stretch of street, Midah 8. Due to many factors such as the University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) & Hospital UKM being located just behind this residential street where many students reside in this area.

Jalan Midah 8A is also the only area in Taman Midah where it is densely populated with 5 different Condominiums spanning a total of 21 Blocks of residential units. Whereas other parts of Taman Midah is mainly Terrace, Semi-d & Bungalows.

This is where, combined with the increased amount of private vehicles user and insufficient space of parking spaces available (considering the fact that some users may have 2 or more cars) in their respective Condominium, parking becomes a major problem.

My proposal for the site would be a multi-storey carpark facility combined with a rooftop hawker food court and a convenience store. As being a residential area that dense & populated, and too few places for having a meal. This would be the most ideal proposal.

The Multi-Storey Car Park will be 6 Storeys in total, with 5 being the car park and the rooftop being the Hawker Food Court & Convenience Store

�9

PROPOSAL ADVANTAGES

The site is accessible from the one way road which connects all the condominium. The site is also easily accessible by walking due to its location being surrounded by the condominiums. With the Community Hall (Dewan Masyarakat) being located behind our site, visitors from other areas would also be able to access the area when a function is held at the Community Hall.

Being a food court and a parking space, residents will not have to worry about the problems of finding parking and food. Residents could just walk from their condominiums in less than 5 min to have a meal. Thus, this is the perfect proposal for this area.

Having a multi-storey parking lot which is obviously covered can prevent the inside of the car from heating up on hot or sunny days and it also prevents the car from being wet on rainy days.

A hawker food court centre would also address the problem of unhygienic food preparation by unlicensed street hawkers. Economically, the food court would provide job opportunity as well.

PROPOSAL DISADVANTAGES

Despite the advantages on our site, nothing is perfect in this world. One main disadvantages would be with improper management of parking facility, there might be many social problems occurring. Such as drug users that may turn the facility into a drug den when there isn’t any proper management managing the facility.

Other than that, lights need to be run all day long because of darkness even in the daytime. Lastly, parking lots are known for muggers to rob you, due to the fact of all the hidden corners and column in a parking lot. This is where there would be a possibility of employing security personnel for patrolling, which in turn increase the cost of maintenance.

Disadvantages of having a food court in the area would be with improper disposal of waste. Without a proper waste management control would cause a unhygienic environment such as dirty water which will attract cockroaches and even mouse. Which will in return transmit diseases.

Other than that would be the imbalance between seating area and the amount of food stalls. Too much seats with not much food stalls would cause an imbalance and vice-versa. It is very hard to achieve that balance between the two.

�10

RATIONALE, BENEFITS & IMPACTS After going through the advantages and disadvantages of the project, I have listed down some benefits and impact that this project will bring to the community around the area. And also the rationale of selecting this proposal.

LACK OF PARKING FACILITIES

The nearby condominiums do not have enough parking lots in their respective compound to cater the high amount of residents living in the area.

Pictures as shown below is taken at about 3PM on a normal evening. As it shows, available parking lots are all already fully occupied. Residents are then already starting to park on the stretch of downhill road as shown in the Bottom Right Picture.. This is a very dangerous way of parking as it increases the chance of accidents occurring.

�11NO NEARBY RESTAURANTS

There is no nearby restaurants available other than the illegal operated hawker (Labelled 10 in Site Context Study). Residents would of course have their own cafeteria/canteen in their respective condominium.

IDEAL LOCATION FOR CAR PARK FACILITY

Being an area that is highly dense in population where it is also surrounded by the apartment and condominiums. The proposal project is also within a close (3-5minute) walking distance from their respective home.

BENEFITS & IMPACTS

• Sufficient car park to the public and residents in area. • Provide an alternative place for eating and drinking • Reduce congestion in the one-way road caused by double & triple parking • Increased the tax revenue generated from rental fees collected from the Hawker • Residents would be required to pay a monthly fee to act as an Maintenance Fee for the

Car Park.

PROJECT CONCEPT & IDEA

A car park facility, is often the first & last interaction we have with a place, space or even building. There are several key points & components needed to be studied in order to build a good car park facility. A facility that need not have people complaining all the time.

Traffic Guidance Strategy

Good car parks are easy to read, the circulation routes guiding the users are simple and clearly defined with signage & markings. Clearly marked locations of the lifts, stairs and payment machines also ensure that users will not have to wander around to locate for them.

Implementation Of Modern Technology

Modern technology such as the Parking guidance and Information (PGI) systems, or car park guidance systems helps users find unoccupied parking spaces, and makes it easier to locate for their car when returning. Overall this improves their experience.

For instances, as shown in the picture above, Ultrasonic sensors above each lot in this indoor car park determine if a car has already taken the lot and is indicate with the LED lights. Where red means the space has been occupied while green means it is empty and unoccupied.

PGI systems can assist in the development for a safe, efficient environment for users. Other systems such as main E-Noticeboard on every floor highlighting the amount of empty parking lots. This reduces the need of users looking around whenever driving to find the car park. Instead they would use the E-Noticeboard as a guide to know which floor has the most empty spots available. Thus reducing the time wasted for searching.

Other than that, increasingly users pay to park using contactless & cashless methods. Such as top-up/reloading on a application on their Smartphone (Mobile Payment Method) or paying by Malaysia’s favourite TouchNGo. This reduces the need of automated paying

�13

machines. Season parkers will have the choice to pay their monthly fees by credit card or by top up.

Overall, this system is designed with intention to make users of the car park as stress-free as possible.

One of the best things about living in Malaysia is undoubtedly the food. Malaysia’s multi-cultural diversity is reflected in the variety of local cuisine we can offer. From Chinese, to Malay, Indian, to Peranakan.

Today, food courts can be found in many shopping centres, housing and commercial estates. Besides having themed decors, larger food courts also offer branches of well-known hawker stalls and miniature versions of popular restaurants within their premises. Modern amenities like free wireless access are also provided at certain food courts to attract customers.

In our proposal, the food court will be managed by a private operator under the management of the Car Park Facility as well. The operator will leases the space to hawkers.

A convenience store will be there to cater any residents nearby looking for groceries, snack foods, candy, toiletries, soft drinks, tobacco products, and newspapers. This makes it very convenient for nearby residents.

�20

FACILITY MANAGEMENT

The car park facility along with the hawker centre and convenience store must be properly managed to ensure that the project will be successful. A proper way of managing the facility would be by the DBFO system (Design, Build, Finance, Operate) model which will be set by the Owner of the property. Whether is it public or private sector. The DBFO system is commonly known as a Property Lease or Licence. The owner will lease out a contract with Management Firms where the Management Firm will fund, design, finance the facility used. The Owner still retains the ownership of the land but a private sector partner will be committed in the full management of the whole facility. This can ensure the availability of the facility 24/7 for 365 days a year.

The management firm will set out all cost for rent to use the facility, those includes season parking fees, hawker centre stall rental fees, store rental. They will also fork out any repairs such as broken lightings, lifts & etc. Profit of course will be taken by the management firm.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASK

List of professions involved in this project :- 1. Architect 2. Contractor 3. Mechanical & Electrical Engineer 4. Civil & Structural Engineer 5. Quantity Surveyor

ARCHITECT An Architect is a licensed professional individual that is trained in the Art & Science of building design, developing concepts for structure and turning them into images and plans. An Architect drafts a plan of a proposed building project. Which is the core beginning of a project, a project cannot begin and commence construction without a standard building plan.

An Architect is hired by a client, such as a Private Developer or the Local Town Council. Architects creates the overall aesthetic and look of a building along with other structures. But the design of a building involves far more than just aesthetic & appearance. Buildings also must be functional, safe & economical and most importantly suite the needs of the users. A little small fact that not many people know, emergency escape plans are also drafted by the Architect. That is why an Architect, when designing, must comply to building and safety regulations, along with local planning regulations. An Architect must consider all of these factors when designing.

The Architect prepares various designs for the client, additionally drawings and a report presenting the idea. Computer-aided design & drafting (CADD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has replaced the traditional paper and pencil for drafting plans & construction drawings. After discussing with the client and seeking approval of the proposal, architects will develop final construction plans that shows the buildings appearance and details for its construction. The plan is then passed on to a Civil & Structural Engineer for his part.

The role of an architect does not end in the design stage during a project construction, however it must be noted that an architect is not responsible to undertake the actual construction activity.

An architect will continue to revise plans on basis of the clients need, budget and other constraints which occurred during construction. As construction proceeds, an Architect will visit building sites to make sure the contractors builds according to the design, adhere to the work schedule, use the specified materials, and meet work quality standards. The job of an architect is not complete until the construction is completed

�22

CONTRACTOR A building contractor is someone who has a wide range of duties & responsibilities in a construction project. A building contractor engages in the planning, developing and coordination of all works which will concur in the construction building. The building contractor is the individual that oversees the construction and ensures that necessary measures are taken to result in the completed project.

The main responsibility of a building contractor is to plan and organise all aspects of a construction work. Contractors usually do not do any of the heavy work, instead they oversee & supervise the sub-contractors that are doing the work. Building contractors also plans the project that will be carried out in a manner which coincides with all laws, rules, and regulations.

The building constructor is also responsible for sourcing materials for the project. It is up to the contractor to acquire specified goods to build the structures. This involves various forms of correspondence with necessary material suppliers.

Another duty of a building contractor is to acquire all required license and permits from relevant authorities so that the project can begin. These license and permits range anywhere from building licenses to zoning permits.

Other than that, the building contractor must establish a budget for the construction project and follow that budget as closely as possible. This will allow the building contractor to obtain supplies, hire workers and finish the construction in a cost-efficient manner.

MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL ENGINEER Mechanical & Electrical Engineers in the construction industry, is known as Building Services Engineer. There are two main aspects of building services engineering, Mechanical & Electrical. Mechanical covers things such as the air conditioning system, ventilation, and heating. Electrical covers aspects such as power, lighting, and fire alarms.

Building services engineers play a central role in contributing to the design of a building, not only in terms of overall strategies and standards to be achieved, but also in façade engineering, the weights, sizes and location of major plant and equipment, the position of vertical service risers, routes for the distribution of horizontal services, drainage, energy sources, sustainability and so on.

This means that building services design must be integrated into the overall building design from a very early stage, particularly on complex building projects such as hospitals. Whist it is usual for a building design team to be led by an architect, on buildings with very complex building services requirements, a building services engineer might be appointed as the lead designer. This means both Architect and M&E Engineer will work together to design it.

�23

CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEER Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment. On the other hand, Structural Engineering is noted as a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering.

Structural Engineering focuses on the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineers design, assess and inspect structures to ensure that they are efficient and stable. Structural failure can be devastating, that is why it has developed as an important and complex specialism that it now known to be an engineering discipline of itself.

Structural Engineers must ensure that their design satisfy the given criteria and is predicated on safety. Structural building design is driven by the manipulation of materials and forms along with the underlying mathematical and scientific ideas to achieve an end product (design) that fulfils it functionality and is structurally safe when subjected to the expected loading.

A structural engineer is usually a sub-consultant of an Architect when designing a building. As certain design may not be achievable as certain structures may not be able to handle that certain type of design. Generally speaking, engineers helps architects to achieve his or her vision for the project

Main roles of a C&S Engineer is to design structures, calculating the loads and stresses the structure will have to withstand. They factor in different types of building materials and understand how to incorporate support beams, columns, and foundations.

QUANTITY SURVEYOR

Quantity Surveyor, sometimes referred as Cost Consultants, is a professional that provides professional advice on construction costs. They manage the costs of the project by helping the client and design team asses & compare different options, such as materials. Surveyors seek to minimise the cost of a project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standard and quality.

A Quantity Surveyor is involved in a project from the start, preparing estimates and cost of the work. While the project is undergoing construction, Quantity Surveyors keep track of any alteration made to the contract that may affect cost.

Typical tasks as a Quantity Surveyor are such as, preparing tender and contract documents, including bills of quantities. Undertaking cost analysis for repair and maintenance of the project, performing risk, value management and cost control, preparing and analysing costings for tenders, providing advice on contractual claims and even allocating work to subcontractors.
