3. Your building company is the successful tenderer on Project 3. You have been
advised to expect to sign contracts in the near future and to advise a
commencement date for construction. Given the design of the project and
the early need for precast concrete panels on the site and the fact that you
are unable to let a sub-contract until the Head Contract is in place, you are
hesitant to advise a date without some careful consideration and planning.
The process for securing the panels on site for erection is:
Supply order
↓
Workshop plans (3 weeks) [Preparation]
↓
Approval of plans (1 week) (Review)
↓
Manufacture (6 weeks)
↓
Inspection of Panels prior to delivery (1 week)
↓
Delivery
↓
Erection of precast Panels
The onsite activities while the steel is being prepared are:
Site establishment (1 week)
↓
Bulk excavation (1 week) [The critical path period, but ongoing]
↓
Bore and pour piers (1 week) [The critical path period, but ongoing]
↓
Trench excavation and pour ground beams (1 week) [The critical path period,
but ongoing]
Nominal activity durations have been shown, which may be part only of the
activity duration which lies on the critical path. I.e. the activity may be on the
critical path.
Calculate the commencement date for the project in days, from the signing of
the Head Contract. Provide a justification for the delay to be provided to the
client

According to the critical task analysis, we need 40 working days to commence to
erect precast panels. And because we need 11 weeks to manufacture panels
before erection and we only need 4 weeks to prepare the site before erection of
panels, so we need to wait 7 weeks until the panels are delivered.
4. For the factory unit development detailed in Project 3, you are required to
produce a construction schedule/plan in the following formats:
a. A critical path analysis
A Gantt chart (bar chart) for the entire project

and
b. A critical path analysis and programme nominating the shortest
construction duration in weeks
Your initial planning must include the following:



List of tasks to complete the project
Duration of each task/activity
Start and end dates of each task/activity

Note. The critical path maybe shown superimposed on the Gant Chart
Programme.
Ans: The shortest construction duration is 44 weeks.
5. Following the pouring of the footing beams, concrete testing reveals the
concrete falls short of the design strength by 5MPa. Work on the site is
suspended until core samples are taken from the footings and further testing
confirms compliance with the specified strength.
Unfortunately though, you have lost 4 weeks progress from the construction
plan, and you are unable to claim an extension of time for this under the
contract terms.
Revise the construction plan to reflect the 4 weeks on construction time lost
and make adjustments to the plan outlining how you intend to increase
production to meet the contracted date of practical completion.

Ans: I have divided the piling work for both buildings and the ground-floor
construction into two separate teams in order to make up again for 4-week
delays to the program's critical route. These tasks, which are on the project's
critical path, can be completed concurrently by two teams working on two
buildings at the same time. This is a considerably better conclusion than the prior
scheme, when work on one structure was planned to begin after the second
structure had been finished.
One team of employees can still be assigned to tasks that aren't on the project's
critical path, such as Level 1 construction, roof work, and fit out tasks, because
their durations are not crucial to the actual completion deadline.
Due to the increase of resources, which will speed up the last phase of work
before practical completion, the time of external works including stormwater,
parking lot, and landscaping have been shortened.
The tasks that have been adjusted are:






Columns – steel reinforcement & formwork
Slab on ground - steel reinforcement & formwork
First Floor (Mezzanine) - steel reinforcement & formwork
Roof – Framing & sheeting
Carpentry – Internal framing
External Works – Formwork, steel & landscaping
NOTE: This is a competency-based assessment. You will receive a result of Satisfactory
or Unsatisfactory. This means that you must satisfactorily complete each question (or
part thereof) to meet the competency requirements set out in the training package. If you
do not meet the competency requirements, you will need to resubmit your assessment
until competency is achieved.
