This document outlines an assignment for a Building Construction 1 course. Students must select an ongoing construction site and document the construction process, methods, materials, and elements. They must take pictures and create annotated sketches and drawings. Their report should analyze the materials used, dimensions of components, construction procedures, and how the construction addresses the site context. Students will be assessed based on their demonstrated understanding, quality of documentation, analysis, and report format and referencing. The assignment aims to help students understand and apply principles of construction.

- 2. 2 Objectives of Project The objectives of this project are as follows: • To introduce basic principles and procedures of construction process through real life project (experiential learning) • To understand the sequence and coordination of construction at site • To expose students to construction technology/methods responding to site context • To allow student to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge of construction, material and technology • To train students to produce manual sketches, drawings and detailing relating to EXISTING construction Learning Outcomes of this Project • Produce a complete documentation (pictures, sketches and drawing) and analysis of construction elements • Understand and explain construction elements and its components. • Understand current construction technology on local construction sites • Explain current material and technology in relevance to present construction industry Tasks - Methodology Your task is to select ongoing construction site which visibly covers most of subject topics covered in the syllabus. Your selected sites should be medium rise or low rise buildings eg. bungalow, terrace houses or maximum 4-storey building. To identify different types of building elements and its construction process, details and materials. You are to study and record construction of different building elements, which you have learnt in this module. In specific, you should be able to show and apply your knowledge in the details of the building construction drawing that you should provide a reflecting your understanding of the construction itself. Document (Visual images, Annotated Sketches and drawings) • Construction process, methods, material, site context • Documentation should be in the form of pictures, sketches, drawings and written Analyse and Explain • Specification of material used in construction • Dimensions and sizes of components • Standards of descriptions • Procedures of constructing the components • Construction response to site context (environmental issues related to sustainable development)
- 3. 3 Submission Requirement • A3 bound report complete with visuals, sketches and manual drawings inclusive of the detailing and documentation of your project. • Visuals / Photos used in the submission must be clear and well communicated. • Sketches are meant to provide visual documentation and communication. Therefore sketches are required to be neat, clear and annotated. • Manual drawings of all construction elements covered in this syllabus. • Assumptions can be made through references from books/drawings. DO NOT PLAGIARISE. Application must be according to site context. • Softcopy is required to be attached with the hardcopy. Suggested Format of A3 Report/Documentation Cover page- Name and student ID number should be written clearly (TU Logo) Table of Content Introduction of site Findings and Explanation: Construction activities Construction elements Plants and machineries (no sketches only pictures) Referencing (MUST) Example content page No. Chapter Page 1.0 1.1 2.0 2.1 3.0 3.1 4.0 4.1 4.2 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 6.0 7.0 6.1 6.2 7.0 Introduction Introduction of site Site and Safety Plants and Machinery External Work Setting out and Earth work Foundation Foundation type and construction process (from site visit) Foundation type and construction process (from reference) Superstructure (from site visit and reference) Beam and Column Slab Wall Staircase Doors and Windows Roof Roof type and construction process (from site visit) Roof type and construction process (from reference) Summary Reference 1-2 3 4-6 7-8 9 10-12 13 14-16 17-18 19 20-22 23-25 26-28 29-30 31-32 33-34 35-36 37-38 39 At the content page, group members must indicate which component they are responsible for: Example: Foundation Page 4-7 (LXS*) *LEE XIA SHENG
- 4. 4 Assessment criteria The assessment for this assignment will be based on your • demonstrated understanding of the project brief. • quality and clarity of the documented drawings and detailing of the construction elements. • materiality and richness of content • clear visual and written communication of your understanding of the project • appropriate use of drawing standards eg symbols/profiling, dimensions and specifications. Marking criteria Marks shall be distributed as follows: Group Component (30%), Individual Component (10%) A3 bound documentation - 100% Methods of documenting Visual images, Annotated Sketches and Drawings Documentation of construction process, methods, materials and construction site context • Clear and suitable visual images used in communicating • Clarity and annotation in sketches • Annotated drawings of construction elements • Dimensions and sizes of construction elements Analysis and Explanation • material used in construction • Use of appropriate symbols of construction materials • Explanation of construction procedures • Understanding construction response to site context (environmental issues related to sustainable development) Referencing & Format • Appropriate and sufficient referencing NOTE: PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT INVIDUAL COMPONENTS IN GROUP WORKS IS EVALUATED BASED ON INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT AND INSTRUCTUR’S EVALUATION ON INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OF A GROUP MEMBER IN TUTORIAL.
