Conclusion

During the duration of internship, the staff of DC Architects are nice and willing to teach
what is required for this module. They are helpful and patience during work. During the
trip to the government building, I am able to recognize different authorities and
department for planning submission and building submission. Furthermore, enhancing
my knowledge about UBBL and tender drawings. Specifications are importance to
justify a set of working drawings. Special thanks to Mr. Andy Chua and Miss Goh who
allowed us for participate in a typical CCM and SM where we learn a lot about different
attendants play crucial role in completing the project. Small discussion are made for
better understanding in the project by that, I also learnt how to work fast and effi cient to
avoid delay of submission. By that, a complete set of log book is produced to testify my
working schedule and practices in the firm.
