Besides the achieving the objectives of the project, I also strengthen my Taylor's Graduate Capabilities which are the lifelong learning and the thinking and problem solving skills. For instead, I understand more deeply about the procedure and process of completing a construction project especially the building plan approval process. I get to know more about the role of the local authorities. These will help to be more prepared to become the member of the building team in the future. On the other hand, there were some problem when I was doing this project like it is hard for me to obtain the information to complete my project like the company profile, the building plan approval process. Next, I cannot print just 2 name card at the shop as the minimum quantity to print the name card out is 100 pcs. At last I solved the problem by using the thinking and problem solving skills. I do a lot of research seeking advice from the lecturer and so on.
