CPCCBC4007A: Assessment 3

What you have to do

Refer to Project 3 to answer the following questions.

Question
1. Prepare a site establishment plan for the site documented in Project 3. Your plan can
be ruled or sketched but must be to a suitable scale. The components shown on the
plan must include:
Security
Access
Signage
Environmental considerations
Site accommodation assume a maximum of 30 people on site on any given
day
Services
Note: there is a contour plan of the site at the end of this assignment which you will
need for the preparation of your site establishment plan.

2. Your building organisation is a small to medium sized company specialising in

commercial projects in the range $2 million to $5 million. The company typically has 6
projects underway at any time and is made up of the following personnel:
Construction manager
Construction supervisors (2)
Site managers (6)
Estimator (1)
Cadet estimator (1)
Contracts/material supply officer

 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 structural
steel 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 steel on site for erection is:

Supply order

Workshop plans (3 weeks)

Approval of plans (1 week)

Fabrication (6 weeks)

Inspection of steel prior to delivery (1 week)

Delivery

Erection

The onsite activities while the steel is being prepared are:

Site establishment (1 week)

Bulk excavation (1 week)

Bore and pour piers (1 week)

Trench excavation and pour ground beams (1 week)

Nominal activity durations have been shown.

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.

 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

b. A Gantt chart (bar chart)

Your initial planning must include the following:

List of tasks
Duration of each task
Start and end dates

Nominate the critical path for the project and the shortest construction time in 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.
