Individual Reflective Report During your Adva
1.1 CourseworkTask to be completed by Students
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?

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

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.
