Site visit (Matilda street)

United Kingdom construction is different compare to Malaysia construction as old buildings in UK were using brick for the whole building including the supporting frame.

Through the site visit at Matilda street site, I had learnt a building survey technique which is visual inspection. I understand that the first step to inspect the existing building condition is very important so that we take attention to inspect all the building exterior appearance, interior, surrounding environment and the traffic condition around the site at the beginning.

Building interior condition

After gathering all the necessary information, we start consider the factors that would affect the propose development and carried out more detailed research to decide which types of building is most suitable to construct.

Site visit has allowed me to learn that delegation of work properly is a key for making effectively and accurately results. It also greatly helps me to improve decision making skill as required by the professional competence framework of CIOB.
