ASSOCIATION
NCA is associated with AWJ (Arkitek Wan Jefri) PAM Directory which is a well established Architectural Firm that has been in operation since 1996 and has completed many prestigious projects in Terengganu, Malaysia, such as; The FELDA BUSINESS RESIDENCE, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, The MESRA MALL, Kerteh, Kemaman, Terengganu, and PUSAT SAINS DAN KREATIVITI, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.
APPROACH
Our approach in each project consists of identifying every detail of the site as well as establishing a deep understanding of the client’s needs. Through collecting all the required data and resources, we device an efficient system and a workplan on how to best approach the project within the given time and brief. While carrying out an intensive site analysis, we will develop a viable concept within the scope of the brief that will consider cost, time and quality of the work in accordance to regulations, context, and client desires.
Our schematic design will be further developed and polished to produce solid information that can be used to communicate with our construction team in order to produce the cost estimate, material, construction time, and building sequence, as well as to present to the client for any final change requests before finalizing the design. The final design will then be further developed into technical drawings with several construction drawing versions to be used for communications for all the various construction team members. While construction is under progress, a site supervisor will constantly monitor the progress to ensure everything is going according to plan. After completion of the build, our team will inspect for defects and imperfections needed to rectify before hand-out.
