A) The terms of project management within the construction industry:
Project management is the management of people, time and costs by a single person or a team to ensure the efficient beginning, progress and conclusion of a project. All these stages take occurrences in construction projects. Project managers are the core of the projects basically.

This sort of job is a bit tricky to be carried out. Especially as we look on the commercial buildings project of NZ Bina Sdn. Bhd. The external project are basically utilized because they are playing internal project manager at the same time in different organization. The external project manager will handle this project mediocrely because he will have some easy ways as he will not have to directly deal with the customer at the same time he will be struggling to get the clearer idea to take care. The other disadvantage he will have that he will have no relation with the project team. So he will not know how the exact worker is skilled in doing a specific task. There are some more disadvantages of the external project manager to the firm for example he can refuse to carry out the project anytime the customer make any changes to the project. He will be paid highly hour rates by our firm. His other disadvantages will be he will become less responsible especially towards the end of the project. He is less experienced in that particular project and is not fully settled with the resources. Possible opposition from within the NZ Bina Sdn. Bhd. As the external project is unfamiliar with the organization, the project can be delayed at the start. External Project handlers take more time to prepare than internal managers. But at the same time there are many advantages of …show more content…

1. Planning Before you want to jump right into planning, you want to meet with your client to talk about the project, you want to obtain certain information so that it can help you learn more about the project and whether or not the project should go ahead. Once you accept doing this project, you want to make sure that the client knows the requirements you’re looking for and whether they will meet your standard. For example, your payment estimates for future stages of the project.
Milestones and assignments to each responsible individuals working on the project are defined. The reports are requested from individuals to make sure the project and work is moving forward and everyone is on schedule. The work is managed with schedule, deliverables, and assigning capable leads to drive the projects and taking report from the leads. This way, it makes the management hours to be flexible and leaves enough time to respond to issues or needs.
- working with working staff to set up strategies, models and frameworks. - Setting client administration measures & assuring that the current standards satisfy the customers & helps retaining them. • Coordinating with the workers themselves can help effectively in setting appropriate models for the procedures & systems because they are the ones who interact directly with raw materials and producing the products, so they would know better if anything in manufacturing needs improvement or so. • It is important to satisfy the current customers in different possible ways in order to retain them which eventually leads in attracting more customers as well.
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.
The three most important tasks I regularly perform is taking care of SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevent Plan), creating weekly work plans, and running the daily huddles with all the subcontracotrs. It’s my responsibily to make sure to do SWPPP inspections twice a week, and fix any problems that can lead to violations. As for weekly work plans, I have to collect every subcontractors’ tasks for the following meek, and put it into an excel sheet so we can go over it at the foreman’s meeting with the senior superintendent. Using the weekly work plans, I go through every single task and ask each subcontractor’s foreman if they completed it during the daily huddles. All three tasks are assigned by the senior superitendent.
This essay will examine the possible advantages and disadvantages of such a

Project Concept and Strategy a. Was the Woody 2000 project well-conceived? Give reasons for your opinion. Ans. When a project is to be conceived, it broadly needs its planners to: - Lay down the objectives of the objectives of the project - Lay down the strategies, to achieve the objectives - Communicate these objectives to the staff - Break down the strategies into work activities - Assign members who would work on each of the activities - Decide the activities that will need outsourcing, and account for them - Assign timelines to each of the activities - Assign performance indicators/measurables to each of the activities - Estimate the cost of each activity, and thus the cost of the total project - Take into account the contingencies - Lastly,
Prioritizing the Triple Constraint One of the first tasks a project manager is faced with is the prioritization of the Triple Constraint; this can only be done by communicating with the client whether the client understands project management or has ever heard of the triple constraint, in their mind, they already know what is most important to them. If your job is project manager, is to find this out, this is usually done by asking them a series of very, well worded questions. As you master the skill of balancing the triple constraint you will naturally begin to keep track of all aspects of project management and you will begin to understand what to look out for and at what stages of a project you should. Client Concerns and Priorities Generally,
Mid-Term Paper – Boeing Analysis MGMT 658 Abstract Unlike other manufacturing industries, aircraft manufacturing is considerably large and complicated. It is a field with high risk involvement. Losses incurred can be quite huge due to the size of the industry. Being the case, the aircraft manufacturing industry calls for intrinsic planning and comparatively larger pool of skilled and cooperative manpower for successful production.
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 principle reason that motivated me to pursue the MSc Project Management course is the appeal and challenge Project Managers experience in delivering assignments they undertake in their career. The qualification, indeed, lead to very smart and modern careers for graduates who love challenges, creativity, leadership and success. As a graduate of Mathematics, I have cultivated these features in my student life. Now, for my master level of study, I would like to take my chance of attaining formal skills in the area of project management. From my research, I see that Project Management is the application of skills, knowledge and techniques to meet the objectives of a project and stake holder’s expectations.
With many-sided, tagged teams and/or skill sets, the project manager is the only person who can bring together all the things and take the charge for the success of the
The Architect working on a project is not only responsible for the design but is also expected to work as a link between different parties in involved in the process, most importantly the client and others for successful outcomes and to achieve client’s satisfaction in a project. With so many factors affecting the process, Architects find it difficult to explain the nature of their professional activities and their deliverables for successful project (Bali, 2009). Also, success can be viewed in different ways whereby what one perceives as a successful project outcome may be viewed quite differently by the next. A client’s judgement of a success may often be different to the architect.
