Essay International Construction Sector – Public Procured Projects – Construction Management Assignment Help

Assignment Task :

Rationale: Across the international construction sector there continues to be momentum to transform. This is often driven by the Government’s commitment to facilitate digital information delivery enabled through Building Information Modelling (BIM) on public procured projects to derive better outcomes from their built assets. This commitment to working with the industry in facilitating the transformation has led to the provision of a set of supporting standards, protocols, classification system, documentation, etc.; defined in the BIM mandate of the UK for example, which are now beginning to be developed for the international market.

In this context, this assessment has two options, which you are required to read through both before deciding on one of the options:

Option 1

The last few years has seen momentum within the international construction industry to transform. This is often driven by these Government’s commitment and mandate to digital information delivery and Building Information Modelling (BIM) on public procured projects. This commitment to working with the industry in facilitating the transformation has led to the provision of a set of supporting standards, protocols, classification system, documentation, etc.; defined in the BIM mandate of the UK for example.

You have been employed by a Government Department as a project management consultant for the procurement of a new project. The design and construction consultants (architects, engineers, contractors etc.) for the project have not yet been appointed. You may choose any Assessment Information/Brief 2 project type that is normally procured by a Government. For reference, a list of the UK Government Departments and what they do is available at the following link https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations. As part of your role, you have been asked to define the BIM related documents and amendments to existing documentation that would be necessary to manage and control this project in line with your Governments current BIM recommendations.

You should consider the standards, protocols, documentation, etc. necessary and explain their purpose, contents and requirements specifically to the delivery of the project in line with that Government’s requirements. Content lists of major BIM documents should be provided as an Appendix. This is to demonstrate you understand the purpose of these documents and the categories of information and decisions necessary to complete them.

You should provide a flowchart of the sequence of the documents and the interactions required in support of your discussion – 25% of the marks will be related to the flowchart provided.

Option 2

The last few years has seen momentum within the international construction industry to transform. This is often driven by these Government’s commitment and mandate to digital information delivery and Building Information Modelling (BIM) on public procured projects. This commitment to working with the industry in facilitating the transformation has led to the provision of a set of supporting standards, protocols, classification system, documentation, etc.; defined in the BIM mandate of the UK for example.

You have been asked to review one of a private company’s existing projects against current standards. This maybe a project you have worked on or can access information on. Indicate what has been instigated to meet the BIM requirements and where the project falls short.

You should consider the standards, protocols, documentation, etc. necessary and explain their purpose, contents and requirements specifically to the delivery of the project in line with that defined by local BIM requirements. Content lists of major BIM documents should be provided as an Appendix. This is to demonstrate you understand the purpose of these documents and the categories of information and decisions necessary to complete them.
