Task
You must demonstrate competency in each question in this assessment.
Your building company has won the tender to construct the medium rise apartment project at The Boulevard, Strathfield.
Question 1 Establish site communication processes
a. Produce a letter to notify all the relevant personnel of the dates and times of site meetings for the construction project. The letter is to identify all the relevant personnel that it will be sent to. Include all of your company’s relevant information in the letterhead. You are to assume the job is to start on January 13th 2014 and be completed by the end of that year. Include a table with a description of the contents of each meeting and who should attend each one.
Question 2 Manage supply of materials and installation of equipment.
a. Produce a list of materials and equipment on the site that will have a delivery lead time (need to be ordered ahead of time).
b. Produce a materials and equipment order bar chart, identifying when the materials in part a will need to be ordered, based upon a one year construction schedule. Include a network diagram to show the logic in the sequence.
Question 3 Manage on-site operations.
b. Once month after signing the contract, and two months prior to starting construction on site, the client wants to change the sliding doors and windows to double glazing. Prepare a variation claim to forward to the client. Include all the necessary details in the claim to ensure you are covered in terms of the contract you reference in Question 5. Consider the following issues when preparing your variation claim: extra costs of materials, lead time for materials, changes to subcontracts, and extra time for completion.
To calculate the cost of the variation, use a percentage increase to the exiting cost for double glazing over single glazing allowed for in the existing Bill of Quantities.
Question 4 Manage the processing of progress claims and payments.
a. Provide a projected project payment schedule based on the information you have been given. Make reference to the contract that you would likely use on the project.
b. Prepare Progress Claims no 1 and 2 from the schedule you outlined in part a. Include all of your company’s relevant information in the letterhead.
