INTERNSHIP TRAINING AND REPORT

This module is aimed at introducing students to the requirements, activities and operations involved in working in architectural / construction practices. The purpose is to facilitate the involvement of students in professional attachments to architectural practices in order to develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the Building by-laws. Students will also be exposed to the process of authority submission for various drawings from an architectural practice and the range of contract documentation produced to support these drawings.

LEARNING OUTCOME

1. Recognize and recall authorities’ procedures and requirements with regards Planning Submission and/or Building Submission drawings.

2. Appreciate the requirements of a complete set of Planning and/or Building Submission drawings and the need for compliance with the relevant by-laws.

3. Appreciate a typical written specification in support of a set of working drawings

5. Work successfully in small teams for the success of medium-sized projects.

6. Appreciate the resource planning issues that take place in a typical architect’s practice.

7. Produce a complete logbook documenting experience in a typical architect’s practice.

During my training, key items oberserved and learned as architect is that as professionals, Architect must always apply a standard of care in performing out duties and must be aware of our decision and advice to others in the Building Contract, especially when dealing with disputes between the Client and Contractor. Architect must also implement the building project strictly in accordance within the provisions of the Contract. By discharging our duties faithfully and with intergrity, compromise which could lead to dispute and legal action could be avoided.
