Week 4 - Hari Raya

This week has only four days as Monday is a holiday and hence NO WORK!!! This week is more of the out-of-office activities as Mr Chan introduce me to more sites and brought me to a piece of land that may have the potential to buy and develop. We also went to look at commercial building at Shenton Way.

I'm starting to like out-of-office as Mr Chan would treat us to lunch and this is a great way to move away from the canteen we had at our building :D We always had good food at either famous hawker or restaurant.


This is the GB building that we had went to view at Shenton Way. It is a 26-storey commercial building with 3 level of basement carpark. Although the carpark is run-down, the office itself is fantastic on every floor with different design and giving a totally different feeling when you are there.

This is the photo i had taken on the 20th storey. The view is marvelous and i really hope i can have one of this i the future.

After getting back at the office, i was instructed to do a feasibility study on this office building and was then analyze by Mr Chan. Mr Chan corrected some of the calculation errors and also added some other factors which makes the study more accurate. I had realized that what we learnt in school is sufficient but it may differ as you work in different field of work. And for every field there is terms that is commonly used and you need to know them so that you can converse well and effectively. For example, when talking to agents we need to know terms like psf (Per Square Foot) / gfa (Gross Floor Area) and to contractor PU (Polyurethane)/ pw (Pipe Work).

*I'm starting to like development and is looking towards next Monday :D
