1. Introduction
This unit develops the learners’ ability to evaluate and resolve realistic practical problems and
work as part of a team. The unit aims to apply the skills and knowledge developed in other units
of the course and where possible experiences from work within a major piece of work that
reflects the type of performance expected of construction technologists. It is designed to bring
small groups of learners together into teams so that they can co-ordinate their individual skills
and abilities. The scheme of work should allow the individual learner an opportunity to take
responsibility for his/her own contribution to the outcome and to demonstrate his/her ability to
work as part of a team. The brief will include an agreed timescale for the staged development of
the overall plan of work within given defined constraints, with the team working towards an
acceptable and viable solution to the agreed brief.
Through the group project our group has mainly focused on a housing project which is done as
a charity work by a consulting firm in Sri Lanka. The selected project is located in Mullaitivu
and is a rehabilitation program for war refugees. Our organization will be providing the
consultancy service for the project including design, estimation, feasibility studies and
preparation of environmental impact assessment.

3. Outline of the Project
The proposed ‘Housing Construction’ involves construction of residential houses for refugees in
Mullaitivu. The project will focus on modern design with low cost and quality low cost material
used for building. This project proposal proposes construction of 50 houses each covering an
area of 525 Sqft. on 05 perch land. Housing construction not only improves the living standards
of the refugees but also contributes towards the overall economic growth. The construction
sector is linked with more than 40 industries and thus has multiple effects on the economy.
Moreover, given the situation of Sri Lanka – with the end of 20 years terrorism, rehabilitation
programme and a huge housing shortage faced by refugees, the demand for houses is high. There
is a rapid growth in urbanization and the continuous struggle towards better quality of life.
Consequentially, as a first step towards higher standards of living, the housing sector comes first.
The project is will start on 01.01.2012 and complete on 30.10.2012 and is scheduled for 10
months duration and each house consists of 02 rooms with a living room, kitchen and bathroom.
All houses will be built according to locally accepted methods, to a design compatible with local
culture and building traditions. Each housing unit has a minimum floor area of 525 square feet
and a tiled roof.
The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 37.5 million. The project is financed through 100% Non
Government Organization fund. The legal business status of this project is proposed as ‘Sole
Proprietorship’ and Non profitable charity work.
Infrastructure works such as water supply, electrical, sewerage, internal roads will be designed
and constructed by another engineering consulting organization.

4. Objectives of the Project
Having a secure and settled home is the key to refugees being able to rebuild their lives and
become part of their local community.
The first objective of this component is to provide permanent shelter to Refugees in target area
and improve their quality of living.
The second objective is to maintain the goodwill of the company by setting an example to other
construction related organizations and motivate them to carryout charity works as this project.
The overall objective is to create durable solutions for returnees and host communities through
an incorporated approach to community infrastructure development. This involves rehabilitating
small-scale social and economic community infrastructure, whilst at the same time providing
capacity-building for local structures to enable them to implement rehabilitation activities and
provide protection to communities, Where non-existent, community-level social structures will
be established, and the level of community integration/ cohesion and capacity for collective
action increased, in the target communities. The community infrastructure component will also
provide target communities with employment and income-generation opportunities, and help to
improve the living conditions of local communities.
