1.0 INTRODUCTION

A high-rise residential building is a kind of housing with several dwellings constructed on the
same piece of property. Due to the rising cost of land, this style of dwelling has grown more
and more common in metropolitan areas each year. High-rise residential buildings offer a
number of communal amenities. For instance, a playground, a pool, a gym, a 24-hour
security system with CCTV and access cards, and so on. Due to rising home and land costs,
there is an annual growth in demand for high-rise residential buildings in metropolitan areas.
Due to the urban lifestyle that people currently lead, many want to live in high rise residential
buildings. Additionally, the demand for high-rise residential buildings has increased due to
the rising population and economic levels in society today.

With that being said, we would like to propose the construction of Rivervale Condominium.
This condominium is a prestigious development project in an enclave of sophistication
comprising two towers with 146 residential units each. Residents of Rivervale Condominium
will benefit from a myriad of resort amenities such as a lifestyle pavilion with a beautiful foyer
and lounge area, well-appointed gym and aerobics room, as well as a function room. A
swimming pool, kiddie pool, Jacuzzi, games room and children’s playground offering great
fun for everyone, while an open garden, sitting terrace and gazebo further extend its appeal.

Rivervale Condominium sits in a prime location near Borneo Medical Centre and Kuching
Specialist Hospital, which are among the city’s foremost medical institutions, located within
just 4km from the residences. Learning institutions such as the Swinburne University of
Technology, Lodge International School and SJK Chung Hua No. 2 are also nearby. Retail
destinations such as The Spring shopping mall, VivaCity Megamall and Giant Hypermarket
Tabuan Jaya are located less than 5km away, while Kuching International Airport is also
located only 4.2km away.
2.2 AREA 2: SITE PLANNING/MANAGEMENT

In this area, the topics that will be covered are site layout planning, overall site management
such as site office, materials storage, traffic flows and plant location, as well as the method
statement of the project known as “PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF
RIVERVALE CONDOMINIUM, 93350 KUCHING, SARAWAK.”

2.2.1 Site Layout Planning

The physical aspects of the site frequently influence the approach and order used in the
building programme. As a result, the programme and site layout are sometimes created
simultaneously. To determine the ideal location for housing, storage, access roads,
equipment, and other elements, a site assessment should be conducted. It might be
challenging to put some items on confined areas. It could be challenging to put some plants
in a workable location on a small area. This can force the usage of an alternate approach
that might be less cost-effective. The largest size of plant that can be transported onto the
property could also be limited by restricted access.

The type of equipment that may be utilised on sites with tall buildings nearby may be limited;
for instance, a derricking jib crane may need to be used instead of a horizontal jib crane. If
the builder already had a horizontal jib crane and then needed to purchase or hire the other
type of crane, this may result in an additional cost burden. Sloping sites can also make some
plant types problematic, especially when a level foundation is needed to 'set up,' as with a
rail mounted tower crane, for example. To choose the ideal location for tools and supplies,
the builder must take into account the type of the building being built in relation to the site.
Plant should be placed such that it causes the least amount of hindrance while in use and
can be taken apart and/or removed with the least amount of hassle. Similar rules apply to
accommodations.

To ensure that there are no obstacles in the way of supplies and labour on the site, an
effective site layout must be planned. Throughout the course of the project, the flow should
be orderly and entail the least amount of operator and material movement.

Below shows the site layout planning of the project as described before.

2.2.2 Overall Site Management

The term "appropriate management of building operations to maintain living and non-living
aspects of the ecological, environmental, aesthetic, and social landscape" is used in the
definition of site management in construction. There are various aspects which are included
in site management such as site office, materials storage, traffic flows, plant location and so
on.

a) Site Office

Office facilities are typically needed on construction sites to accommodate site

managers, offer a conference room, and store site paperwork. Even though they are
big and well-equipped, site offices are sometimes referred to as "site huts." Site
offices must be cosy, appealing, and adaptable in addition to being appropriately
sturdy and safe. Since the site offices are only being used during the construction
works, they are usually constructed from portable or prefabricated.

Most of the site offices have their standard sizes and can be easily fitted or stacked
together to form almost any kind of accommodation required. Site offices can be
easily transported by using flat-bed trucks and set up on-site using a crane. The site
office can be purchased or rented.

In the proposed project, we have decided to place the site office at the left side of the
construction site. This is due to the fact that on that side, there are less works
ongoing when being compared to the right side of the site. So, meetings and so on
between the client and the contractor will not be disturbed. Furthermore, the site
office is placed further and at the corner of the site so that the people in the site office
is far from harm from the building works.

b) Materials Storage

Materials control almost 80% of the overall project schedule. The size of space and
the location to be used should be planned carefully as part of an overall site layout
plan. If the materials being stored is hazardous, it will require specific precautions.
Materials that are stacked need to be stable enough to make sure they will not fall
onto any workers. The workers also should not walk or climb on top of stacked
materials as they can cause them to fall. Different types of material may have
distinctive storage requirements depending on whether the materials are durable or
non-durable.

The many kinds of on-site physical storage systems vary depending on the amount
of available space and business procedures. Industrial regulations are also taken into
account while stacking and storing specific commodities. Materials are frequently
categorised based on how comfortably the workers can work with them. Civil,
electrical, plumbing, finishing, construction chemicals, and miscellaneous are the
fundamental categories that are used. The materials are frequently piled in
accordance with the vendor's or manufacturer's specifications. Impurities or ambient
agents shouldn't have an impact on the materials. In the proposed project, materials
like cement must be placed on high wooden platforms and kept in enclosed sheds.
To avoid rusting, reinforcing bars should be stored yards away from moisture as well
as from lubricants like oil. To avoid problems, bars of various classifications,
dimensions, and lengths should be kept separately.

c) Traffic Flow

Around 20 severe workplace traffic incidents happen every year, with the
construction sector accounting for around 20% of fatalities. If construction vehicle
operations are not adequately supervised and monitored, managers, employees, site
visitors, and members of the public might all be at danger. The layout, signage, and
marking of site roads should ideally resemble those of the public road network and
be designed so that all users of the roads may understand the expectations placed
upon them. In terms of pavement structure, pavement width, pavement radius,
 gradient, clearance, and visibility, roads should be constructed to suit the largest
vehicles that may need to utilise them. Vehicle collisions with other cars pose a
serious risk, hence one-way systems should be used wherever practicable on the
property. There should be separate entrances and exits built.

Industrial roads must be at least 7.3 metres wide. Curves should allow heavy goods
trucks (HGVs) to pass without having to ride the kerb; if not, local widening should be
taken into consideration. The lowest channel gradient should be 1 in 125 and the
maximum longitudinal gradient should not be more than 1 in 12. Surface water will
tend to gather if there is not sufficient drainage, which requires a crossfall or camber
of roughly 1 in 40. These locations may freeze in the winter. Road markers may also
be obscured by standing water.

d) Plant Location

Plant and equipment must be present on the property and ready for use when
needed. To minimise costly repetition, measures should be made to make sure they
are accessible to all parties. A plant-booking board or book might be made available
so individuals who need to utilise a certain plant would know when it is available and
can schedule their work accordingly. Control is also necessary to guarantee that the
appropriate plant is purchased, utilised wisely, maintained consistently, and removed
from the location once it is no longer required. In the proposed project, the plant
location is located where the workers can easily use and transport it from place to
place in the site, and does not disturb the other works ongoing.
