Introduction

In this Introduction to Construction Industry project, we were asked to find a

specific empty land to initiate a small construction project. The size of the

land must be around 900 square meters to 1200 square meters. We had

been given some purposes for our proposal. For example, recreation area,

commercial area, industrial area, agricultural area, tourism area and

residential area. We had chosen our site which is located at Jalan Desa

Budiman, Bandar Sungai Long, Kajang, Selangor.

Purpose The purpose of this project is to let us feel what it is like to be a city

planner, as well as testing our creativity. It also helps reflect our

personalities, whether if we care about the nature or we are a selfish bunch

of student. Beside that, it also let us learn mroe about the construction

industry, because we have to do research on how to propose our concept.

Concept This area had been neglected for quite a long time so we decided to use

this area for our final project. The area that we had chosen is 934.84 m² big

and it is big enough to build a fast food restaurant.

The concept is a 4-storey, multi-restaurant building, with the ground floor

being the Car park, Mcdonald’s in the 2nd floor, KFC in the 3rd floor and

Domino in the highest floor. Due to the small size of our site, we decided to

put the car park at the ground floor as we do not have to dedicate a specific

area for car park, which is impossible.

The multi-restaurant concept is to provide more variety for the

residents nearby, which a drive-thru located at the 2nd floor Mcdonalds’. In

order to pull off this 2nd floor drive-thru concept, we designed a “bridge”

where the drivers can go up and drive-thru, and underneath the bridge is the

entrance to the car park.

The building consists many gigantic glass pane to provide a modern

look as well as allowing natural sunlight into the building. By doing this, less

energy will be used to light up the building during the day, thus making this

building a green building.

We also decided to plant grass, as well as palm trees alongside the

road in front of the building. This creates a contrast between technology and

natural, providing a good scenery for the customers inside the building. It

also helps counterbalance the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the

vehicles.

However, due to it being a restaurant, littering will be inevitable,

because you know, Malaysians. But, one way to solve this problem is to put

trash cans everywhere around the building. Another way is just hired some

cleaners to clean up the rubbish every now and then.

Why we choose McDonalds’ ?

The nearest McDonalds’ from our site is a distance of 8.1 km. It takes

you 17 minutes of drive to there, assuming the traffic isn’t bad as always. It is

very inconvenient for the residents of Jalan Desa Budiman.

Therefore, McDonalds’ is one of the good choices to be proposed in

this project. Since our site is surrounded by residential area, there will be a

lot of students living there. McDonalds’ is also a nice place to chill and some

students also can study at McDonalds’ because McDonalds’ will provides a

good environment to relax and study.

Beside that, it also provides fast and easy food for the busy ones,

because nowadays, the people would rather starve their tummy just to earn

money. That’s even more unhealthier than eating junk food!

Moreover, the location is very suitable for a drive-thru restaurant as it’s

a cross junction. This means that the street will be always busy, which in turn

means that the restaurants will get a tons of customers everyday.

Site Analysis

Introduction to our siteOur site is surrounded by residential area and has a big space for

parking in case there are too many cars want to come here. The

environment of our site is quiet so residents can just chill at the fast

food tower that we propose. The residents can reach our site easily

as it is nearby the residential area.

Advantages

● Near to residential area. ● At the side of the junctions, good geography.● Easy to reach ● Open Space● Green Spaces

Disadvantages● Wasted Area.● Hilly.● There is no way to exit to the main road.● Not shady.● There is not safe because there is not guard house nearby.

Improvement● Make a way to the junctions.● Mini guard house created at the site.● Provide more shade.● Make it to a better place to chill and relax.● Add in some decorations.● More plants planted at the hilly area.

Conclusion

After doing this project, we understand of the building

team, its organization, duties and inter-relations. Besides

that, we are also have the ability to justify the feasibility of a

development and improve the proposal to serve the

purpose of the development.

In addition, my teammate and I are getting better in

teamwork. We helped each other and finally managed to

finish our work successfully on time.
