CL Project 3- Landscape Project

In this final project, we were required to form a group of 6 and select a 10m x 10m site within the campus. A green space proposal should be initiated on the site chosen after a site analysis was done. The master plan and planting plan are required to be presented in 2 A2 boards. Details are to be put into a report including concept, master plan, planting plan, costing (bill of quantities), and construction detail as well as maintenance plan.

• The Progress

I had formed a group with 5 other members, who were Jessie, Jaclyn, Jennifer, Jia Yii and Zhen Li. I was nominated as the leader and to be honest, this really stressed me out a bit when I first know my members' decision. Without wasting time, we started to search for a suitable site and works were divided afterwards.Finally, we came up with a green rooftop garden proposal in our site at block D level 2. There were some disagreement of thoughts among us during discussion when luckily we had finally come up with a proposal which we were all satisfied of at last.

The plan of our rooftop garden before upgraded to the final one.

This previous was lacked of green plants and sustainable elements.

Reflection:

Through this project, I had gained my knowledge in landscape planning and green elements in construction. It is truly a tough progress from initiating a landscape project until the maintenance planning of it. There are plenty of knowledge needed including the selection of plants, the budget costing, regulations and maintenance etc. Therefore, I value the responsibilities of every team players of construction industry in making projects to benefit the community.

 I learned to communicate better with my other group members to come up with better ideas solutions for the project given. Every opinions should not be ignored as tolerance is important in team work.

 This project taught us in thinking and problem solving skill. It is good to always think of the consequences when making the next step during the progress of  completing the project, similar to the completion of this final project.
