progressive manner. By the end the student will produce an acceptable set
of Construction drawing for parties involved in construction industry.

Course Learning Outcome (CO) :

1. CO1 - Prepare a full set of construction drawings within acceptable standard as
per industry standard.
2. CO2 - Apply all drawing convention system in Construction drawing.
3. CO3 - Coordinate the correlated information in Construction drawing.
4. CO4 - Integrate construction, services knowledge in Construction drawing.

ASSIGNMENT 1 (30%) - Group Work

TASK:
Each group of students will be given a conceptual sketch of floor plans of a 2-storey
bungalow. Group members are required to develop the conceptual sketch into sketch design
comprising of floor plans, sections and elevations which comply to anthropometry and
requirements of Uniform Building By-Laws. Upon completion of the sketch design, group
members are required to study and resolve the structural and technical requirements, and to
proceed with the preparation and completion of the full set of construction drawing for the
bungalow thereafter.

Note:
