Building Construction 1A: Site Analysis


Another day, another site visit activity.

A building doesn't pop up out of nowhere, it has to go through construction phases, each uniquely challenging the contractors, architects, engineers and so on. So for our first Building Construction assignment, we have to visit an on-going construction site and compile the documents of each important phases.

Some of the important topics we covered are:

  • Site and Safety 
  • Plants and Machinery
  • External Work
  • Earth Work
  • Foundation
  • Superstructures
  • Door and Windows
  • Roof


In a group of 10, we visited our friend's relative site under the company of Wira Syukur (M) SDN BHD. The site is building mid-rise buildings that will eventually serve as private residence. When the site visit is conducted, the construction has mostly reached to the late stage of brickwork with few buildings still in progress of erection of superstructure.
