INTRODUCTIONWhat is a commercial block?

Commercial block can be defined as a real estate intended for use by for-profit businesses, such as office complexes, shopping malls, service stations and restaurants. It may be purchased outright by a developer for future projects or leased through a real estate broker.

For my commercial block, it basically:

Consist of 4 floors which includes basement, ground floor, 1st floor and 2nd floor.

Basement is the car park Ground floor consist of main entrance, hypermarket and

convenient stores 1st floor consist of the food area 2nd floor consist of clothing stores and saloon A stair that leads down to the site from the higher ground



SUGGESTION AND PROPOSALI have decided to propose a commercial block building there. Since there

are a lot of residential area such as the Olives Residence, and also the sport area which is the Subang Racquet and Sport Centre, it would be convenient. There are only a few restaurants near the residential area and thus this would benefit them. They would not have to eat the same food. In this commercial block building, I will include:

- Fast food restaurants, diners and food court- Convenient stores such as 7-eleven- Hypermarket- Clothing and shoe store- Sports store- Saloons- Basement car park- restrooms



RATIONALE OF THE PROPOSAL

The main purpose of this building to make the life of the residence around the site to be much easier. It will definitely be very convenient for the residence as the building consists of stores which provide the daily necessities for the residence such as, food and drinks.

The purpose of the basement is to increase the amount of car parking space. In our site, there is limited amount of space for people to park their car. If there isn’t any car park, this will worsen the traffic jam. Building a basement as a car park builds benefits because you do not need to use another valuable land to build a car parking area. The land can be used to build other stuff or even leave it there as natural land.

The stairway from the higher ground area to the site is built is to allow residence living there to be able to access into our site. If it isn’t built, then they have to make a big round around to enter the site. With the stairs, all they have to do is walk. Not only that but this also reduces the amount of carbon monoxide produced by the cars which will reduce air pollution and also the risk of getting “Carbon Monoxide Poisoning”.



BENEFITS The land is almost flattened which makes it easier for the

development and construction process. The land is actually quite big and has lots of grass and a few trees.

This makes area to be much less humid than it would be. The land has a higher ground and it can be built with something. Not only that but at the higher ground are residential area. Since our site is located at the opposite golf court, it would be

convenient for the golfers to get to the commercial building easily. Able to get daily necessities easily. Reduce traffic with basement car park. Can be a place for people to relax and hang-out

IMPACTS Will cause traffic jams as there is only one road entrance and exit to and

from the site. Basement car parking has limited amount of space which will again

worsen the traffic. Not convenient as there is a small temple near the site. Residence from the higher ground will have to cross the main road

without an overhead bridge which is dangerous. Only one drainage which will cause a small flood when heavy rain hits.



SKETCH PLAN OF THE PROPOSAL

The commercial block building is a 3 storeys building, the ground, first and second floor. This excludes the basement which is mainly for the car parking area. The basement is accessible from the front entrance of the building. It can roughly keep at least 50 cars only.

There are two entrances and exits to and from my commercial block building. One is from the main road where people can access to the building with foot and car. The other entrance is from the higher ground where the residence from the other side can easily access to the building. There is a stairway leading down towards the commercial block building.

The ground floor consist of a hypermarket and some convenient stores. An example of hypermarket is the “Giant”. Giant is a hypermarket that sells a wide range of goods. For example, it sells food, beverages, cutleries and many others. This will provide the daily necessities of the residence which will make their live very convenient. Besides that, the convenient stores are open 24/7. Examples of convenient stores are 7-eleven and myNEWS.com. With these, the residence need not to go far to get their daily necessities.

The first floor is the food areas which consist of the fast-food restaurant, diners and food court. The residence can enjoy different varieties of food. Not only that but they can have their meals in a quick time with the food court. This makes their life much easier. Examples of fast-food restaurants are KFC, McDonald, Subway and others.

After eating, the residence can access to the second floor which consists of the shopping area. For example, the clothing stores such as the famous H&M and many others. There will be also some saloons so that the residence can keep up with the latest hair fashion especially the women.

At every floor, there will be at least 2 public restrooms for the male, female and the disabilities. They are usually located at each end of each floor so



that they do not need to wait for a long time to do their business. This is also to reduce the time needed to get to the restroom.

CONCEPTThe concept mainly focus on nature. Since the site has the greenery view,

it would be a great idea to apply it in constructing the commercial block. The idea is to build a small garden in the middle of the commercial block building.

Basically nature consists of elements such as woods and plants. The concept of nature brings people together and enable them to feel more connected to nature. Not only that, plants provide oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide during the day. This provides fresh air for the people who visits the commercial block. Besides that, we all know that plants undergoes transpiration. With that, the air wouldn’t be as humid and it would actually be quite cooling which makes it very comfortable for the customers. Also, it is scientifically proven that looking at the greeneries can really help to improve our eyes.

A small pond would also be introduced in the building to provide a more soothing and cooling area. There will be also some benches and table for the

resting area. People can come by and sit after a long day to relax.



IMAGE OF IDEAS

The “1Utama Shopping Centre Rainforest” KL

- Garden is inspired by this idea

Circular glass roof

- The roof above the garden will be circular and made out of transparent glass which will provide natural sunlight for the plants.



Profession involved in this project:1. Contractor2. Architect3. Landscape Architect4. Quantity Surveyor5. Civil and Structural Engineer6. Mechanical and Electrical Engineer7. Project Manager

ContractorContractors are responsible for overseeing construction on both new and

old buildings and structures. A contractor helps to organize and manage all aspects of a building site. The job requires someone who is detail-oriented and who enjoys working on construction sites but may not be enthusiastic about rewiring cables or rerouting plumbing themselves.

Contractors generally don't do any of the heavy lifting on a construction site themselves, but they oversee teams of contractors and subcontractors who are doing the work. Contractors also fill out necessary paperwork and adhere to local, regional or national guidelines. Contractors may also be asked to check the structural integrity, such as foundation settlement issues or improper cement curing.

ArchitectArchitects work in the construction industry and are involved with

designing new buildings, extensions or alterations to existing buildings, or advising on the restoration and conservation of old properties. They can work on individual buildings or on large redevelopment schemes, and can be responsible for the design of the surrounding landscape and spaces.

Architects work closely with their clients and users to make sure that projected designs match their needs and are functional, safe and economical. They usually control a project from start to finish and work with a the quantity surveyors and engineers, producing drawings and specifications that the construction team works to.



Landscape ArchitectLandscape architects create the landscape around us. They plan, design

and manage open spaces including both natural and built environments for people to enjoy while ensuring that the changes to the natural environment are appropriate and sustainable.

The work covers diverse projects which includes both the urban and rural that range from designing the layout of parks, gardens and housing estates to city-centre design, sporting sites and improving land affected by mining or motorway construction.

A landscape architect collaborates closely with landscape contractors, as

well as other professionals, especially architects, town planners, environmentalists and people working in surveying and engineering functions.

Quantity SurveyorA quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil

engineering projects. Quantity surveyors seek to minimise the costs of a project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standards and quality.

A quantity surveyor may work for either the client or the contractor, working in an office or on site. They are involved in a project from the start, preparing estimates and costs of the work.

When the project is in progress, quantity surveyors keep track of any variations to the contract that may affect costs and create reports to show profitability.

Civil and Structural EngineerCivil engineers are involved with the design, development and

construction of a huge range of projects in the built and natural environment. Their role is central to ensuring the safe, timely and well-resourced completion of projects in many areas which highway construction, waste management, coastal development and geotechnical engineering.

Consulting civil engineers work together with clients to plan, manage, design and supervise the construction of projects. They work in a number of



different settings and, with experience, can run projects as a project manager. Civil engineering offers many opportunities as well as the satisfaction of helping to improve and enhance public quality of life in many settings.

Structural engineers design structures to withstand stresses and pressures imposed through environmental conditions and human use. They ensure buildings and other structures do not deflect, rotate, vibrate excessively or collapse and that they remain stable and secure throughout their use. They work in close partnership with architects and other professional engineers.

Structural engineers have to choose appropriate materials, such as concrete, steel, timber and masonry, to meet design specifications. When construction has begun, they are often involved in inspecting the work and advising contractors.

They also examine existing buildings and structures to test if they are structurally sound and still fit for purpose. Structural engineers have to make efficient use of funds and materials in order to achieve structural goals.

Mechanical and Electrical EngineerMechanical engineers provide efficient solutions to the development of

processes and products, ranging from small component designs to extremely large plant, machinery or vehicles. They can work on all stages of a product, from research and development to design and manufacture, through to installation and final commissioning.

Most industries rely on a form of mechanical systems and mechanical engineering is thought to be one of the most diverse of all engineering disciplines. Due to this, there are employment opportunities in a wide range of sectors which manufacturing, power, construction and medical.

Mechanical engineers can be involved in the management of people and resources, as well as the development and use of new materials and technologies.

Electrical engineers design, develop and maintain electrical control systems and/or components to required specifications, focusing on economy, safety, reliability, quality and sustainability.

They design and manufacture electrical equipment for use across many sectors which includes the building industry and services, including lighting, heating



and ventilation, transportation and transport networks, manufacturing and construction and production and distribution of power.

Electrical engineers are involved in projects from the concept and detail of the design through to implementation, testing and handover. They may also be involved in maintenance programmes.

Project ManagerA Project manager plans and evaluates the project activities. They

accomplishes human resource objectives by recruiting, selecting, orienting, training, assigning, scheduling, coaching, counselling, and disciplining employees.

Project manager contributes information and recommendations to strategic plans and reviews, preparing and completing action plans, implementing production, productivity, quality, and customer-service standards,

resolving problems, completing audits, identifying trends, determining system improvements and implementing changes.

Meets financial objectives by forecasting requirements; preparing an annual budget; scheduling expenditures; analysing variances; initiating corrective actions.
