Component 01 – Individual Reflective Report

During your Advance Practice you will have developed a number of skills and will have experienced a number of emotions. This component gives you the opportunity to reflect, analyse and propose future actions as a result of your experiences during this module in order to enhance your ability to become a reflective practitioner.

The Individual Reflective Report must demonstrate a critical and analytic thought process, a clear line of argument, and the use of evidence through examples of personal experiences, thoughts, and possibly theoretical literature. It must also contain the following 4 Rs of Reflective Writing:

· Reporting and Responding – Describe your experience, report what happened. Why is it relevant? Respond to your experiences with observations or expressing your opinion

· Relating – Draw a relationship between your experiences during the project and past experiences or modules/concepts/theories. Make a connection between how your skills, past professional experiences or discipline knowledge helped you during the project. Did you have the skills and knowledge to deal with task?

· Reasoning – Rationalise your experiences and make sense of the experiences through theory, ethical, social or political factors.

Reconstructing – Develop a plan to change your future actions/behaviours and to develop gaps in your skills. How would I deal with this next time?

• Extreme heat and humidity

• The Economy of Telangana is mainly driven by agriculture. Most of the families cannot afford air- conditioning

INVESTIGATION

• Investigation resources is key point for any project, because every

project has their own needs based on their we need to find the

resources.

Hear our project is mainly based on LOW Cost Building

Constructions

Hear mainly two investigation concentrated

• Site Investigation

• Material Investigation

 Client availabilities are the main priorities for that we have to

investigate our client needs and, we have to make adjustments to

our project.

DESIGN PROCESS

• For the design process we need consider

lot of factors

• Mainly we have to show them our

project low cost, Eco friendly and

Sustainable

In this work, we are preparing one design

diagram using different design software

and implementing low-cost techniques

such as compressed earth blocks, solar

panels and some other.

IMPLEMENTATION

• To make this construction as low cost

we have to implement to many

techniques

• For make the construction cost is low

We consider following techniques

 Using Earth blocks

 Using low density concrete

 Use eco friendly martial

 Using solar panels

 Use standard reusable materials

Great material for thermal mass

It’s non toxic

Bricks are easy to work with

Incredibly environmental friendly

Reduce building’s electricity cost

No maintenance

Fire resistant,

Thermal and acoustical insulation properties make it ideal

for a wide range of purposes

Low Cost

• To make any project with low cost we have to

follow lot of challenges

 Handling of materials

 Maintain the proper resources

 Maintain work flow

 Handling of people

 Adjusting design concepts

CHALLENGES

https://images.app.goo.gl/PWmgjU2QdnSKtbbx7

SOLUTIONS

• To make the cost of the project is low hear

we consider following materials

 Interlinking Blocks

 Barriers

 EPS Core Panels

 Tree Barriers

 Stone walls

 Glass in construction

PROJECT STATUS

The project status can be expressed in the following images

status

 Initiate : Hear our initiation of the project is to make

project is low cost and full fill the client needs.

 Plan : As per the client need we prepare the road map for

engaging the work.

 Design : To make our project in clear understanding we

made our own design and how to apply our thoughts in that

work.

 Construct : As per the client's needs, we construct our

work plan, elaborate the work to all standards and all

together make our project in success.

 Close: We hope we present the best out put client and

we feel satisfies all the requirements of the client.

RISK MANAGEMENT / ANALYSIS

Source: https://images.app.goo.gl/mp1BbHbKTdHZDCzd8

For adjusting the client in the specified location, we

have to face a lot of risks, we need to do a risk

management plan as per the diagram we should do

the risk management plan.

DELIVERY

To deliver any project, we have to follow proper manner, for

that to follow the all the steps like

•To check the client's needs are done.

•To check the design standards are perfectly adjusted to the

client's specifications.

•To explain what we have done and where we have adjusted

client points.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is the process of ensuring that

buildings and other assets retain a good

appearance and operate at optimum

efficiency. Inadequate maintenance can

result in decay, degradation and reduced

performance and can affect heath and

threaten the safety of users, occupants and

others in the vicinity

OUR LOW COST CONSTRUCTION HOUSE

COMPARISON BETWEEN NORMAL HOUSE AND OUR LOW COST AND ECO FRIENDLY HOUSE

General House Low cost house

Regular use of material Using different materials

Design pattern is general Innovative designs used

Cost of the construction is standard

based of the price of the market

When combative general house the

cost of decreased 1/3

Damage of environmental is moderate Purely eco friendly

CONCLUSION

To full the client needs we are adopted so many

techniques and process, if we follow the mentioned

processes in the required house it will definitely goes low

cost of constructions.

And what ever we suggest the techniques are

acceptable in ISO standards and practically provide.
