CONCLUSUION
The six-month internship at Construcshop under the Student Industrial Work Experience
Scheme (SIWES) has been instrumental in bridging the gap between my academic studies
and practical architectural work. During this period, I developed key skills in Revit, creating
detailed floor plans, sections, elevations, and both interior and exterior designs. Additionally,
my involvement in site work taught me essential project supervision techniques, the 3,4,5
method of setting out, and the importance of punctuality and effective management of
artisans. Adapting to the professional environment posed significant challenges, including
mastering new tools, adjusting to the dynamics of site work, and managing time effectively.
However, overcoming these obstacles has enhanced my resilience and practical skills,
preparing me well for future roles in architecture. This internship has been a transformative
experience, equipping me with the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed in the
architectural field.
