CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY - BLD60104
Through this four months, it has been a struggle to learn the facts about construction industry by just listening to the theories during the lecture and tutorial session. This module I would say is very much similar to Building Materials as it contain a lot of facts. Besides, I also gain virtual knowledge about the type of construction ( residential, commercial/social, Heavy engineering and industrial), site clearance, subsoil (hard rock, gravel, sand, clay), scaffolding, types of foundations, concrete frame building, walls , roofs, staircase , etc. It is also essential to learn the importance of a tidy and organized working environment, as well as safety equipment.
ASSIGNMENT 1
In this assignment, we supposed going to site visit and learn how worker in the site construct a building. However, because contractor or the owner is not allowing us to visit the site before Hari Raya and lecturers decided to change this assignment by watching some videos and search information from the internet. From this assignment, I know how do workers construct a brick wall which several steps in order to a construct a strong wall. Also i learn how brick is arranged to make a different type of bonding such as header bond, stretcher bond etc.
ASSIGNMENT 2
For this assignment, we required to consider the material and items need to build a spacing or a house.Items that we need to be designed are foundation, floor, walls, ceilings, windows and doors, ironmongery, space ladder, shelves, counter and cabinet and others. We chose Japanese style as our concept for this assignment and I had chosen master bathroom & bathroom as my part. Throughout this assignment, I found that it is not an easy job as an architect to consider the good material for a house and design the house as well as consider the stability and usefulness of the item. Also I also learn lot of things besides part such as material for foundation and roof and also flooring and finishes.
