Building Construction
Project 1
Documentation and Analysis
The aim of is to expose and introduce students to various construction elements. It also intends to enhance the understanding of principles of construction, sequence of construction activities, importance of basic detailing, construction joints and material application through real life projects. It also creates an opportunity to study the relationship between site and construction method.
In a group of 7, we select an ongoing construction site, then study and record construction of different building elements.
By completing these project, we have developed our thinking and problem solving skills as we have to do a lot of research on the construction of those building elements and compared all the information due to the fidelity and originality. Besides, communication, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills also have been trained as we were doing this in group.

Project 2
Construction Activities and Process
This project is a continuation of the first project that involves understanding construction activities and process in a 3 storeys bungalow building. This project is designed to allow the demonstration of knowledge and understanding of construction, application from prior project and emphasis the exercise of visualizing construction activities and process.
I have to document and illustrate visualizing construction activities and process by using Revit Software before doing the report.
By finishing this assignment, I have developed thinking and problem solving skills as I have to do a lot of research on the construction activities and process. Digital literacy has also been obtained when I have to figure is out the skills of using Revit software to visualize and build my building. And I found out that this software is very useful for my future.
