So, site layout planning is concerned with the relative positions of the facility being constructed, office accommodation, plant, storage facilities, and other services/facilities. Site organization refers to the organizational structure for site management, and the mechanisms for the planning and control of construction operations. Layout and organization of the construction site are closely related and are usually the responsibility of the site/construction manager (Stukhart 1987). Site layout and organization are essential management functions which should, ideally, be given full consideration early in the construction planning stage of the construction process. These physical aspects of a site have a direct bearing upon the construction method and sequence adopted (Calvert1981), as well as an influence on such issues as productivity, health and safety, materials handling, and general site …show more content…

I am making this appeal in response to the sanction that is imposed on me in reference to the case #3788. The hearing panel found me guilty on the charge of complicity in the course of construction scheduling COSC 603:299 and awarded me a grade of F* in the course COSC 603:699 Construction Scheduling for which I was enrolled in Spring 2015 semester. The basis of my appeal is that the sanction on me is not commensurate to the violation. I would like to provide the following rationale for my defense.
Quality assurance from raw materials to construction techniques. Construction analysis for the best possible approach, especially in dealing with the challenges of building something great from scratch. Compliance of the building code ensure a structure is capable of performing as intended and built according to standards. It also ensure future inspection process will not be a cause for concern.
Building control is an important aspect to consider whilst in the construction process; if the approved inspectors and the CIOB do not inspect the work being done then the workers will not know if they are doing something wrong. The reason in which building control is important is that the inspectors can make sure that everyone is complying with building control. The regulations that are implemented exist to ensure the health and safety in and around all types of buildings they also provide for energy conservation and access to and use of buildings. The building regulations contain various sections dealing with definitions, procedures and what is expected in terms of the technical performance of building work.
As a result of searching the existing literature, the researcher was able to obtain data that correlated exceptionally well with the research topic. Indeed, the researcher gathered pertinent information from secondary sources; however, the primary sources of data were needed to draw a logical conclusion of the research at hand. So, the next step was major section III, Research Methodology. Being
Unit 1: Exploring Business: Features contributing to the success of contrasting businesses. My first chosen business is the Thorpe Park Resort. Thorpe park is ‘owned’ by Nick Leslau but also leased by Merlin entertainments which is the largest entertainment business in Europe running over 100 attractions. The ownership of Thorpe park is a public limited company (PLC), this means that it sells shares in the stock market so it isn’t owned by just one person instead it has shareholders.
I have found myself to be rooted deep down with my christian ministry group Chi Alpha. We are a group of students that seeks to make relationships within our religion of christianity in order to form a loving community for myself and many others to be a part of. Recently, I have found myself to be useful when it comes to running the soundboard at our worship and collaboration nights where I come in early in order to set up chords and mix the worship band as they practice. This has been an excellent experience as I have been able to keep up my love for music as the same time of attending university. My active participation to this after class activity has developed who I am as a person.
Planning and designing are the figurative part of the construction process. Taking thoughts and ideas and drawing them out on paper in order to maximize the beauty that nature intended are all the first part of the process. Understanding what plants and flowers would naturally grow in a specific habitat, that they would not only flourish but also add a certain degree of beauty is very important.
A place can contribute to productivity and creativity, it can get in the way and limit efforts. A well-designed place can provide a nudge that guides users to good results and offer cues to support better performance. Lately, the open office plans have been very popular as they are supposed to improve efficiency by allowing for more interaction between office staff. A variety of spaces needs to be provided in offices, spaces for teamwork, standing tables, moving walls, comfy sofa everything.

TASK IV: PARTNERSHIP IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT Partnering is a project approach designed to allow the construction process to be performed within an atmosphere of mutual trust, commitment to shared goals, and open communication among the partnering members while working in harmony toward mutual goals in order to avoid claims and litigation and establish a win/win management approach. For the complex and large-scale Atlantis project, the contractually associated construction partnering between Laing O’Rourke and NORR along with various other members like Rockwell Group, WATG, EDSA, helped to create working relationship among all of the team members based on mutually agreeable plan of cooperation and teamwork to improve productivity. The main objectives of Atlantis project partnership included reducing project costs and schedules, eliminating change orders and claims, improving communication by developing
The different type of structures (1) Functional – each portion of the organisation is grouped according to its purpose. (2) Matrix - ‘’ creates project teams that cut across traditional functional departments, instead of highlighting the role or status of individuals, it gathers together a team of specialists with the objective of completing a task or a project successfully ‘’ . (3) Divisional – It is the grouping of workers on the basis of products being produced, followed by the functional structure. There are two types of divisional structure , (a) Product structure (b) Process structure (4) Geographical – It is the grouping of workers on the basis of regions, followed by the functional structure and , (5) Hierarchical structure which has been adopted by Ritz Carlton. It shows the different levels of hierarchy, span of control and chain of command.
The term Research Methodology refers to a set of procedures, methods & techniques that are put together by the researchers to obtain a solution to the problems they confront during the collection of data. The researchers look for the most crucial data which is inevitable for the research. Generally there are three kinds of approaches or research methods namely Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed. These methods are used to gather data and resolve issues that emerge during the process of data gathering. The researcher can bring forward his findings either in the form of quantitative or qualitative or mixed research methodologies only when the data is collected based on the preliminary data gathering process and the secondary data gathering process.
