ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The internship period of 2 months with Archimetry Sdn. Bhd. was a great
opportunity and definitely a big step forward towards this professional
journey. It was both an exciting and dreadful experience as to the reality that I
am about to face going down this road. This suits me up and gave me an
insight on the responsibilities of being an architect.
Therefore, I felt very grateful for the generous guidance provided by all the
seniors in the office, and most definitely, kudos to my supervising architect, Ar.
Alex Lye together with Ar. Wan Noorlaila. Meeting these amazing people and
the experience shared from them within these two short months are priceless.
My deepest gratitude to my colleagues as follows: Intan Harin (Architect), Izhar
Mohd Salleh (Senior Draughter), especially to Zainam Ahmad (Senior
Draughter) as he is my neighbour/colleague who gave me tons of advice when
it comes to drafting, which broaden my experience in that area, and to Chong
Jun Hao (Technical Assistant) and finally Che’ Nurul Adawiyah, our office
manager.
Last but not least, the principals of this office, Ar. Wan Noorlaila Wan Salleh
and my supervising architect, Ar. Alex Lye Wei Khang, who gave me
uncountable advices and guidance (theoretically and practically) on what it
takes to be an architect, which helped me a bunch in my future endeavours.
I was awoken on what this opportunity has to offer, and this proves to be a big
stepping stone in my future career development. The knowledge and skills I
obtained in this short period of time will be a big part of my journey to an
architect. Finally, I hope to see you all again in near future.

existence and application of the Uniform Building by Laws and similar
Building Regulations existing nationally and internationally.
ii. Generate an awareness among students with regards the different
activities that occur within the typical architect’s office.

Fig. 3.1.1. Finalised proposed master plan of Bandar Baru Enstek School.
First master plan I did using both CAD and Adobe Photoshop.
During the 1st week of practice in Archimetry, I was fortunate enough to be a part in the
schematic design phase, whereby, Ar. Alex was proposing the master plan of the Bandar
Baru Enstek School to the client. I was tasked to calculate the approximate area of the land
and propose the layout of the school compound. At first, I had to propose the classroom
arrangement and size to set up the building blocks’ proportion to layout the master plan.
Below are some of the proposed classroom arrangements. Ar. Alex wanted a non-barrack/
typical classroom arrangement as to its inefficiency in classroom engagement. So, I looked
into some feasible ones and proposed a few to him with the allocation of 30-40 students per
classroom.

Fig. 3.2.1. Proposed townhouse layout on Lot 249, 195 Jalan Ampang.
On 2nd week onwards, I was given a part in the 195, Jalan Ampang project. This project
started off as a luxury apartment building over the existing old colonial residential house on
that piece of land. But through some reviews with the client, they decided that apartment is
no longer an option as to how limited the land was. Instead, we were asked to propose
some townhouse layout for the client. By doing a whole lot of referencing and online
research on viable townhouses, I finally came out with the above layouts. Maximising the
usage of space on that one acre of land. Refer to Fig. 3.2.1.

Fig. 4.1.1. Amending the wrong information displayed on the BP (building plan).
Together with my senior, Intan Harin (Architect), we went all the way to Nilai to submit the
BPs to apply for permit to the OSC (one-stop centre) in Majlis Perbandaran Nilai. Before we
leave for the submission, we have to fold tons of A1 sized papers into a specific submission
size and compile them properly. Carrying kg’s worth of papers around for an application of
permit. From there, I realised the respective local authorities that we have to comply with
when it comes to submission and we can actually make changes on the paper itself. That
surprised me the most.

This project was handed to me to amend the floor plans and subsequently project the roof
plan, elevations, sections and the natural lighting & ventilation table. Later on, followed up
with the tender drawing of the refuse chamber and gate details. This project made me
realised that there were plenty of things left to learn in AutoCAD. For example, the office
uses pen settings for printing out precise line weights and line types, which I have no idea of
until I received some advice from my fellow colleague Zainam Ahmad (senior draughter).
The office also uses certain colours for indication of different materials used for the building.
The layers are much more in detail compared to how I have been doing, which gave me an
insight on how are things done in an office. Kudos to these draughters who manage to
handle a few projects at the same time. The practice in AutoCAD definitely jack up my pace
on drafting which will help me a ton in the long run.

Jalan senjolong, taman bukit ria, kuala lumpur
Fig. 4.3.1. Site plan.
For this project, I was tasked to amend the floor labelling, elevations, sections, facade and
car park podium level, as to fit the requirement provided by the local authority. The car park
podium cannot be more than 20% of the overall height of the building. The challenge was
that our site is located at a pretty sloped area, therefore, the podium went up a few more
floors compared to the ones on the flat ground, which increased the overall height of the
building to 36 floors. Through this project, I got to know more on the building requirements
and apartment building layouts. Besides that, car park requirements was also important in a
building that can fit up to near 400 units.

Fig. 5.1.4. Tiles arrange to get the dimensions precise.
From the site visit to the constructing showroom in Jalan Maarof, I learnt that it is near
impossible that the contractors can deliver the precise dimensions of the building with great
workmanship taking into account. As architects, we have to discuss with the contractors and
allow a certain number of tolerances to ease up the work. Then, acquire the following
materials from manufacturer provided with the tolerated dimensions. For example, Ar. Alex
gave additional budget to construct sub-frames for windows to close up the gap between
the wall and the frame but the contractor did not execute it properly. Using more silicon to
seal up the gap between the frame and the wall which solved the current problem but it
does not work in the long run. Especially in Malaysia’s weather, the silicon will harden and
crack pretty soon. Therefore, Ar. Alex felt unsatisfied by the performance of the contractor.

7.1 CONCLUSION
In this short period of time, the practical training proves to have taught me a lot of what I
am about to face. Put theoretical thinking aside, there were a lot of procedures, rules and
regulations an architect firm has to comply to. How big of a responsibility for an architect to
carry to provide a safe environment for the mass. This is a chance to work in the real world,
to get out of our little conceptual bubble.
To sum this up, this practical training gave me exposure on the how an office operates and
how much more complicated the outside world is. These are the things that I have to pick
up along the way. Overall, this was an exciting journey, aside from the overly tedious
drafting work. Last but not least, I would like to thank my mentor, Ar. Alex Lye Wei Khang
and all my colleagues who aided me in this short 10 weeks of practical training.
