1. Of the three different options, I would advise the client to choose to use construction management with a guaranteed maximum price as their construction procurement method, rather than design-bid-build or design-build. Design-bid-build has a stipulated sum which would be useful for the client to know, and the process is linear and familiar to the architect and contractors, but the budget would end up being liable to change for a few reasons. Firstly it would likely change after the design…

for management to assure that his/her philosophy values, strategies and objectives are transferred to all levels from the organisation and that there is clearness and orientation in the functioning of employees (Serafimovska, 2012). Within construction management is it paramount that there is sufficient communication…

risk Cost control In every construction project, this risk could be there due many factors. So controlling the cost in the given budget is one of the important responsibility of the construction project manager. As the time goes the cost of the material could change, so it affects the total budget of the project. And when we implement new design technologies could affect the overall budget. Varying the budget to a limitless amount is a big risk in the construction project. For this project,…

impacts on traffic in Norman. The construction project includes the widening of Interstate 35 and reconstruction of the interchanges at West Lindsey Street and Highway 9 East. The West Lindsey Street Interchange is designed like the recently completed bridge at Main Street. This kind of interchange is designed to move large volumes of traffic. The project represents the largest single contract in the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s history. But, the construction timeline is not…

Construction of the Concrete Roof of the Assembly Hall The University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign Assembly Hall has been the home of the Illini men’s basketball team for over half a century and has been one of the greatest engineering and architectural feats on campus ever since its creation over half a century ago. Beginning on May 25, 1959, construction of the Assembly Hall was carried out by structural engineers Othmar Ammann and Charles Whitney, general contractor Felmley-Dickerson Co.,…

toward Construction and Project Management have been highly influenced by my undergraduate study majoring in Civil Engineering.

But it was the field of Construction planning & Project Management which captured my interest and since then, I have started taking interest in this field. Later on I came to realize that to become an efficient & capable project manager in the Construction…

project depends upon it.  Waste: Heavy underground constructions like this one generally produces a lot of waste. The team is responsible for the proper management of these waste, as this a key factor that might affect the environment.  Transport: It is an integral part of the project. Long constructions need sustainable transport. Transportation in the plant area needs to be organized and scheduled. This will affect the smoothness of the construction.  Water Usage: Controlled water usage…

deflection of diaphragm walls. This allows access to even farthest end without impeding the construction of struts and slabs. The dimension of the channel is determined by the space required by excavator and earth hauler. Also, the remaining soil should suffice the support required by diaphragm walls for deflection control. Thus, part A2 was completed using four vertical excavation stages of construction. Interference between material transportation and earth hauling was resolved by entrances in…

have chosen to focus on is the idea of niche construction and evolutionary developmental biology, and relate it to different forms of causation. The article that I used as my focus is “EvoDevo and Niche Construction: Building Bridges” by Laland, Odling-Smee, and Gilbert. In this article, both niche construction and evolutionary developmental biology are talked about. The main claim is that both of these concepts have much in common. Niche construction, as defined by these authors, is said to be…
