Design And Construction Of An Office Complex For School Of Environmental Design Technology

Comprehensive Summary on Design and Construction of Office Complex for the School of Environmental Design Technology

In terms of the economic facilities the strategic crucial necessity of either construction or development of any buildings the total potential of investment are referred to as certain attributes that may attract all industry operators under their project rays (Simatupang & Sridharan, 2016). While constructing an office complex for the school of design and technology, the contractors, subcontractors and the project managers may serious challenges or issues. This is mandatory for the project manager to design and identify the most suitable constriction methodology for the successful completion of the office complex. A comprehensive summary on the design and construction of an office complex for the school of design and technology is illustrated in this paper. In addition to this, the detail of the methodology that has been followed for the successful accomplishment of the project is also illustrated in this paper. Not only but also after analyzing the construction methodology the generated results also demonstrated in this paper.  

During the design and development of the office building project different issues or construction level challenges are identified initially. It is the role of the developer to consider some critical components through which this sort of issues can be minimized. In addition to this, the accurate project formulation principle including project plan, roles of the project managers and the considered business planning framework for the design if this office building before are also analyzed in this paper. Based upon the mission, vision and key success strategies of the project it is found that, the members associated to the project are requires serving serious role play for the project. After evaluating the necessary key assumption criteria the different aspects that may negatively impact or interrupt the success of the office complex construction project are also being illustrated in this paper. It is expected that if all the necessary assumptions are properly followed by the developers then the construction project related issues will be completely mitigated.

Professional construction or building facility always acts as a catalyst which just not serves the role of an engine but also provides momentum for the rating of developments. This engine also has the ability to energize all the economic sectors successfully. According to Presa (2017), the business activities regardless of its type such as public or private are all housed in the structure which is known as production activities, building, medical healthcare etc. Few numbers of people cannot just operate effectively without the indirect and direct requirement for the housing. The building production facility is referred to as a building construction or a developmental approach which attract the professionals from each and every field of non professionals. Not only this but also, the housing develop employment can cut across all the categories for the human attempt.

According to Zhang et al., (2018) materials, marketing, distribution, supply, storage all has strong and long term success chain such as impact on the economy that is known in commerce. The rate of total production is somewhere dependent on the salary, buying, selling approaches and also the internal relationship between the service providers and the consumers. The contribution from the sponsors and the commercial support from the government will help the team members to become more familiar to their allocated job roles and responsibilities. For the estate valuer and surveyor, it is found that more than seventy percent of the activities delivered by the professionals can revolve around the facilities associated to the buildings. According to Yeom et al., (2017) in order to encourage the investment mainly for facilitating the buildings can be seen as a step towards correct direction of success in case of this specific construction project. The design outline or the construction blueprint of the building is the initial phase of development. From this phase the developers should identify all the necessary components and critical success factors. However, many construction challenges are faced by the contractors and the sub contractors.

Project Challenges and Methodology of Construction

Therefore, proper construction methodology should be adopted by the designer and the developers to avoid project failure. Smith (2014), stated that the rate at which the project fails, abandoned and even collapsed each and every associate concentrate on the engineers. Moreover, it can be said that most of the project success, failure, abandonment are lies within the efficient project management. The construction of any building is required to be successful because their executions are always includes substantial investment or the loss that may generate through the failure of the construction project. As the future scopes of the project are completely dependent on roles played by the clients therefore, proper development of economic structure is very much crucial from the development end.

For this specific construction project the main issue that is identified is overrunning cost and over time allocation. As much time will increase that much cost will also increase simultaneously (Simatupang & Sridharan, 2016). In order to avoid overrunning cist and budget at the project initiation phase the project manager should have conducted a feasibility study to ensure that the project is successful from the business end. In order to implement the construction project, proper control over the project changes and economic standard should have to be considered by the construction project head.

During the design and implementation of any building the concept on which the construction manager should have to concentrate on include comfortable as well as inviting ambiance, conserve energy, conserved water, reduction of construction wastages etc. At the initial phase the building site should be analyzed accurately. The project owner should check that whether it can provide access to the public transportation, restore habitats, filter of the storm water runoff. Again any new building should focus on maximizing the open space for the employees who will work for the company, facilitating proper community connectivity, reducing the pollution associated to lights. Again the constructors should also focus on either planting native or adaptive landscape that never needs any kind of irrigation. Apart from this, volatile organic compounds are to be used while designing the “Office Complex for the School of Environmental Design Technology”.

During the time of construction the HVAC system should have to be utilized for protecting the environment from moist a harmful dust.  The sources of chemical exploitation and other pollutants should be controlled by the designers to make sure that the construction work is going accurately. From the landfills more than 50 percent to seventy percent of construction wastes should be diverted. After the detail analysis of the approaches it has been found that the designers and the construction heads are require to focus of energy efficiency also to make sure that all the aspects of building construction are properly utilized by the project managers.

In this case the building is an “Office Complex for the School of Environmental Design Technology” therefore different technology addition is another thing that has to be approached for making it more employees focused and attractive at the same time. For the construction project the resources that are used are comprises of money, labours, equipments, construction materials etc. Proper project scheduling is another important thing on which the project manager should concentrate for the successful accomplishment of the construction work within estimated time and budget.

Construction Methodology and Sustainable Approaches

Project management is referred to as a process that is used for achieving the project objectives including the project schedule, budget as well as performance following a set of project level activities. If these project management factors are properly followed and utilized by the project team members and the project managers then the project will be able to be explore and produce quantifiable as well as qualitifiable project deliverables. In other word the process of project management methodology can also be defined as a set of application of different tools, knowledge, skills as well as techniques better for meeting the project objectives or to exceed the project requirements (Roy & Jacob, 2015). Again it can be said that with the accurate utilization of the accurate project management methodology the overrunning cost over budget allocation and over allocation of resource related issues can be completely minimized.

 In order to manage any project the process of project management methodology should always being used by the project team members universally (Simatupang & Sridharan, 2016). For this construction project the methodology is used for designing a conceptual framework for managing the programs and activities and a collection of different project development guidelines, process and standards as well.

It is believed by the construction project managers that, project management methodologies is a set of tools used for sharing and to communicate lessons that has been learned and best prcatices or the construction of the project management (Myers, 2016). If accurate project management methodology is applied by the project managers in the construction field then, it will help the project manager to explore the construction aim and objectives easily and will help to identify the success elements associated to successful project management construction factors. In order to determine the profit and benefits of construction projects it is mandatory for the project manager to identify the factors of the construction projects accurately Not only this but also, cost management, quality management, integration management and stakeholder management are the other factors that are to be considered by the construction project manager.

Accurate project management methodology can improve the estimation methodology as well as measure the completion percentages as well (Simatupang & Sridharan, 2016). In case of construction management two different project management methodologies are available such as traditional management methodology and modern approaches. Different modern project management methodologies are PMBoK, PRINCE2, CCPM, Euromethod etc (Presas, 2017). It is mandatory for the project manager to follow any one of these project management mythology to make sure that the project is meeting the expected outcome or the expectation of the consumers (Nicholas & Steyn, 2017). For this specific construction project the project management methodology that has been followed is Agile methodology. The details of the agile management methodology or this project topic are elaborated in the below section:

The Agile project management methodology is comprises of 5 different phases such as requirement identification or initiation, planning, design and execution phase, track and monitoring and closure (Ashworth & Perera, 2018). If these phases are properly managed by the project manager then within the expected budget and time the project manager will be able to design and implement the project. The details of these phases are illustrated in this section.

Conclusion

Requirement identification phase: The requirements associated to the projects are being identified in this phase. The plot where the construction of the office complex will take place is identified in this phase. Then the plot or the location will be analyzed in terms of communication or transportation (Brito & Ferreira, 2015). If the traced location is identified as a beneficial one then the project manager should select the location for further growth of the construction project. On the other hand, if it is found that the chosen location is in an outskirts area where the supply of the raw material and other requirements are difficult then, the bidding approach should have to be changed and accordingly the about the location further thoughts will be needed.

On the other hand, if the site is found to be perfect by the project team members then, further activities in terms of stakeholder’s selection, resource allocation and contract with the labours will be done by the project contractors and the project subcontractors as well (Presas, 2017). In addition to this, another important factor that has to be considered by the project head is the sponsorship allotment, legal documents preparation and governmental support. While developing the contract for the building construction project the project manager should follow and maintain all the legal assigned acts needed for the successful accomplishment of the office complex construction projects. If it is found that the legal acts used by the construction project are not accurate then the construction may be interrupted during the design and construction phase.

Once the solution of the construction project will be approved the project will be initiated for implementation of the approved solution. In order to accomplish this approach a project manager is also being appointed by the project owners (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). In order to examine the project success the major deliverables and the participating work groups of the project are also being identified. From this time only the construction project starts to take proper shape. Then, project approval becomes an important factor for the project team members for the project manager to move towards the project planning phase.  

Construction project planning phase: This is the second phase of agile construction project management that has to be followed by the project manager while implementing the successful construction of the office complex (Roy & Jacob, 2015). The project planning phase include further project development phase in details for meeting the objectives of the project. Presas, (2017) stated that, always according to the project requirement a project team is prepared.

Based on the skills and knowledge of the project team members the work division are done among the project team members. If the project managers fails to divide the work accordingly then the project manager will fail to meet the objectives of the project. Therefore it can be said that in this phase the project resources and development strategies are also needed to be framed by the project head. Thus, it can be said that for the successful project implementation the resource allocation that has to be carried out throughout the project development lifecycle ate to be identified (Mok, Shen & Yang, 2015). Again based upon the project dependencies the project manager should produce a project schedule in this phase. Then based on the complexity of the project activities the project resources are required to be assigned for each of the different tasks.

The project manager is responsible to coordinate the project preparation budget through developing project cost estimation for the assigned resources such as labors, raw materials, development equipments etc. It is expected that in case of construction this scheduling chart will help the project manager to track the roles of the associated individuals to avoid time mess-up (Ogunde et al., 2017). This particular action is also known as the scope management plan development. The already estimated project budget is utilized in this phase for monitoring and controlling the cost expenditure while the project is being implemented by the assigned project team members under the guidance of the contractors and the sub contractors.

At the end of the project planning phase, document will required for representing the quality plan with a quality targets, control measures as well as assurance through listing all the project criteria for meeting the project objectives (Oakland & Marosszeky, 2017). In this point of project planning phase, it can be said that the project is absolutely ready for the further execution.

Design and execution phase: This is referred to as the project implementation phase and in this phase the construction project manager is required to design the project outlines in terms of blueprint and then that must be prepare this in such a way so that it can be identified as a final, ready for implementation. Whenever, it is found that the project plan is in the motion and the work related to the project are performing practically on site then it can be said that the project is ready for practical implementation (Harrison & Lock, 2017). This is paramount for the project manager to maintain as well as communicate during each of the project implementation phase. During the implementation phase al the necessary factors are to be designed professionally by the project manager.

However, the progress of the project should have to be monitored in a timely manner by the project team members and the project manager. On the other hand, the project manager is responsible to make appropriate adjustment and record all the variance as per the original plan (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). In this particular phase most amount of time is being spent by the project manager. All the project activities are needed to be properly carried out by the project manager and the project team members during the project progress period. With the help of the project team meeting the information regarding the project progress can be analyzed and reported by the project associates.

In order to preserve the control over the project direction the stored information are used by the project manager. For measuring the performance of the project team members this particular project progress report should be analyzed accordingly by the project team members (Rozali, 2015). Whether the actual cost is equal to the planned cost or not is measured by the construction project manager with the help of the certain appropriate project measurement tools. It is expected that if all of these tools are properly utilized by the project manager then the identified project deviation can be resolved accordingly by the project team members and the project managers.

 Proper plan is needed for making corrective project measures (Presas, 2017). In order to reduce the work pressure from the project team members the large construction project should have to be divided into small parts and to each of the project activities different resources are assigned. This is the responsibility of the assigned team members to accomplish their job roles within the estimated time phase and budget. In this phase proper project action plan should be prepared by the project manager to get back to the original project plan.

If it is found that this plan is not happening appropriately then, reutilization of the record variation will become necessary to publish the modification action plan for the project (Borse & Attarde, 2016). For this particular office complex construction project all the key stakeholders are to be informed accordingly. With the help of proper communication the project level conflicts can be completely resolved or minimized. With each change the project team members are required to be informed about the stats of the project (Finkel, 2015). The current status of the project should have to be updated on a regular basis.  The probable points that are to be highlighted and analyzed by the construction project team members include the cost, schedule, quality and deliverables. The solution is identified as a successful one only when the consumers agreed with the structure.

Monitoring and tracking phase: This is the second last phase of the construction project management. In this phase the progress of the project is being monitored by the project manager and the project team members. In other word it can be said that this phase all about the measurement of the project progress as well as the performance for making sure that the items are running along with the project requirements (Hardin & McCool, 2015). If any particular change is being required by the consumers then respective changes will be incorporated according to professional change management concept in this phase.

Project closure phase: This is the last phase of the project management methodology. The entire concentration of the project manager is turned to the project deliverables at the project closure phase. In this phase, the final document of the construction is hand over to the project client (Dind, Lufkin & Rey, 2017). The construction contracts that are prepared are all terminated in this phase. In addition to this, the project resources are released and the project manager communicates with all the project stakeholders about the successful completion of the project. The last activity associated to the construction project closure phase is about lesson learned studies for matching whether the project met the requirements or objectives or not.

After analyzing the details of the construction project it has been found that, these projects are completely vulnerable for the unexpected projects that may negatively affect the success of the project (Smith, 2014). However, the issues associated to the project changes can rarely be eliminated with the application of proper risk management approach. Through risk assessment the root causes that interrupted the success of the construction project are analyzed as well as discussed accurately.

 This emphasis has been done on the basis of low income all housing projects as case studies which represents a construction type project that is expected to serve all the necessary changes (Alias, et al., 2014). In order to conduct the study accurately proper research methodology is also being adopted. The research philosophy used for the successful accomplishment of the project is positivism research philosophy. After that the approach which is followed is deductive approach (Zhang et al., 2018). However, for analyzing the research details, secondary sources are analyzed. During construction the location which is chosen for constructing the office complex the legal documents and governmental supports are also required. All legal actions that are related to the construction and bidding are also focused by the project managers (Guanxian, Jun & Lingjie, 2015). Well trained technical associates, architects and civil engineer are also hired for designing the blueprint of the building complex.

As the project is about construction and design of an office complex for the school of environmental design technology thus, another thing on which the construction project manager should focus on is pollution free environment. If green technology is applied during the design of the office complex then the rate of emission of different harmful gases and carbon footprint can also be reduced (Forsythe & Wilkinson, 2015). The negative effect of the emission to the environment can also be reduced with the help of advanced technology. The issues those are previously identified related to this construction project were poor productivity from the project stakeholders and other labor’s end.

There are many construction or real estate companies are emerging nowadays. Based on the productivity and previous records the owners do create contract with the most suitable construction companies. It has been found that, well trained architects and civil engineers are required for designing a very attractive office complex for the employees. Brito and Ferreira (2015) stated that, high capital investment is very much important for designing and construction of an office complex. Number of well productive labours can resolve the construction related issues. However, if all the investments are not utilized properly then major capital loss may take place. On the other hand, the profit margin of the construction industry shrinks due to lack of expected productivity. Lack of skilled labours is another issue that may also negatively impact the success of the construction industry (de Carvalho, Patah & de Souza Bido, 2015). According to some of the professionals and personnel due to shortage of investment most of the times the contractors fail to hire the skilled labors to fulfill the purpose of the construction. The decreasing experience of the labors and the increase complexity of the project outlines have been identified as the major issues in the construction industry. The contributed project risks can be completely resolved with the help of professional project management methodology.

 It shows the direction to the project manager towards the project success. In order to reveal the co-relationship between the project manager and the project team members it is mandatory to conduct statistical analysis (Hardin & McCool, 2015). However in most cases the project manager and the project associates fail to analyze the statistical data those have been collected. In order to improve the performance of the project team members this analysis is again very much crucial (Nicholas & Steyn, 2017). Proper access to the construction change practice is another component of focus for the successful completion of the project.

After getting the result on the project that are analyzed respectively. This is the role of the project manager and the other stakeholders to track the progress of the project. Whether the assigned jobs roles are properly maintaining by the project team members are not are also examined by the project manager (Kuchta & Ptaszy?ska, 2017). Apart from this the other roles that are necessary for the project manager of this project are to motivate the associates. With leadership the project manager can also lead the project team members to accomplish their job roles. For this specific project the agile construction project management methodology is followed by the project manager and the contractors.

At the project initiation or requirement analysis phase the project manager failed to demonstrate the actual project requirements, project objectives and the need of the client (Jalal & Koosha, 2015). Therefore, the project stakeholders initially failed to formulate a structured and well organized construction outline. As the complexity of the project is quite high therefore proper strategic alignment was another important factor on which the project manager should have been concentrated but the project manager fails to do that as a result the development ministry gave certain construction boundary to this project.

In order to avoid the legal boundaries at the project initiation phase the project manager should follow the legal documentation maintaining all professional prcatices (Myers, 2016). Apart from this another important issues that impacted negatively the project success is lack of proper communication. Open communication is the only way through which the project manager will be able to demonstrate the need of the client. In case of open communication the project team members and the stakeholders feel free to share their point of views and ideas to the rest of the project members. Rectification for the identified issues is crucial to avoid further issues and negative project impacts (Sears et al., 2015). There was another issue which interrupted the office complex design and implementation project was limited project budget.

Though the resources required for the project are identified at the project initiation phase but still some of the components and resources were found to be missing during the project progress period (Rozali, 2015). In order to avoid this issue the finance manager and audit head of the construction project should have allotted some addition cost for those cases if any additional resources will be required for the successful design and construction of the office complex for the school of environmental technology. According to Walker (2016), the project change is referred to as that process which are annually agreed by the subcontractors, contractors and the owners. In order to define the contract changes different attempts are also there that are widely used by the project team members. The construction project change is also defined as a difference or project modifications that may occur within the workplace, methods, processes and even in the contractual agreement papers also (Ye et al., 2018). There was another issue that may impact the success of the project include traditional format of designing blueprint. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a major approach that must be used by the developers to avoid the design level risks. A 3D design outline will help the contactors and labors to get clear and concise ideas about the design of the office complex.  

Conclusion

From the overall discussion it can be concluded that, if proper construction methodologies are being followed by the project manager and the project team members then the chances of project failure will completely resolved. Professional project management aspects are to be followed by the project heads to make sure that the project is being completed considering all the success criteria. Different issues are there that interrupt the success of the project and that are also elaborated in this paper. In order to resolve these issues of the construction project proper management and constriction methodologies are to be followed by the project manager and other associates. The methodology that has been followed for designing and developing the office complex building construction project are also elaborated in this report. Different kinds of developmental metholodologies are present in case of construction projects therefore accurate methodology has to be selected by the construction managers to implement the project successfully.

Not only this but also proper concept of environmental design approaches to be adopted by the project managers to make sure that the project is being successfully implemented. In order to improve the existing design if the building proper resources are also needed to be selected by the project manager to make sure that the requirements of the consumers are met accordingly. Apart from this, for improving the efficiency of the buildings proper sustainability campus wide should be recommended by the project heads. It can be said that in order to avoid the construction level issues proper stakeholders, resources and other associates are also required to be selected by the project manager. Apart from, this accurate prime contract relationship chart should also be prepared by the construction project manager to make sure that all the general structure and contract level bidding approaches are followed by the project team members.

Moreover, this can be said that, company finance, design, building blueprint, facility management are the basic components should have to be maintained by the project manager during the project progress period.  Based on the specific requirements of this particular project “Design and construction of Office Complex for the School of Environmental Design Technology”, design bid build, design build, documentation construct, separate prime contract are the factors that are should be properly managed by the project managers.  For this particular building if the concept of green technology is applied by the construction manager then the issues of the environmental pollution can also be minimized at a huge rate.
