1. Researched and brainstormed on potential topics for the project and give a short pitch on it during first team meeting. 2. Contributed to record and submit the team meeting minutes. 3. Participated in second team meeting, all our group members discussed together and finally decided our topics on autonomous excavators. 4. Contributed on writing and improving the problem and purpose statement of our report. 5. Researched relevant journals on autonomous excavators from SIT OneSearch and google scholar. 6.  Report Contributions  – Wrote the sections on technical advancements and benefits, detailing key improvements in current autonomous excavator technology, and what benefits our new autonomous excavator can bring. 7.  Researched and cited relevant academic and industry sources to support our findings. 8.  Designed and structured presentation slides for my assigned section(benefits and conclusions) to ensure clarity and engagement. 9.  Delivered a segment of the ...

  Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) is an innovative construction method in which fully prefabricated modules are manufactured off-site in controlled environments and assembled on-site (Building and Construction Authority, 2024). Modules are pre-fitted with electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes, minimising on-site labour and disruptions. The method supports diverse applications, including residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, while integrating seamlessly with traditional construction techniques. According to the study by Tambichik et al. (2022), compared to the traditional Industrialized Building System method, PPVC was able to reduce the construction period by about 35%. Other benefits of PPVC include superior quality, cost-effectiveness, and improved safety by reducing hazards in factory environments. Considering environmental aspects, reducing material usage, saving energy, deducing air and sound pollution are also part of PPVC’s priv...
