PROJECT MANAGEMENT [ARC3612/3614]

This involves  the  application  of  the  principles, issues  and  theories  discussed  thus  far  in  the  Project Management module, and their application into a simple construction project. In groups of 6-7, the task calls for designing and managing a simple construction project in a way that emphasises either COST, QUALITY or TIME, with a MEASURABLE success criteria.

 

OBJECTIVE

• To understand the application of management techniques in the control and direction of project resources

• To appreciate the need for Project Management in a real project environment

• To understand the basic stages of project management in the construction industry

• To understand the basic roles of the different consultants in the construction industry

• To understand the use of "Success Criteria" in evaluating a project. 

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Define project characteristics, objectives, organisations and success.

• Apply Project Management Tools and Techniques to control and communicate the Design.

• Summarise strategies for the execution of the development process in response to the client's objectives.

Project 2: Documentation of a Medium-Sized Project  
                  Architectural Desing Project

This involves the documentation of Studio 6 Architectural Design Project, to apply the principles learned in Project 1 to this final project from the point of view of a Project Manager as well as a client.

 

MAJOR COMPONENTS

• Design Analysis, picking up issues of PROGRAMME VIABILITY, DESIGN SUITABILITY and MAINTENANCE STRATEGY specifically related to design.

• Risk Analysis and Mitigation Strategy (to achieve an identified SUCCESS CRITERIA and project deliverables from a client’s point of view.

• Gantt Chart, showing overall construction strategy and possible critical path, plotted against time. This chart will highlight PROJECT DELIVERABLES and BIM strategies.

 

 

OBJECTIVE

• To understand the application of management techniques in the control and direction of project resources.

• To evaluate the dynamic changes which occur during a project’s life cycle and the nature of a project’s success.

• To understand the means of evaluating success and failure in a project’s performance.

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Define project characteristics, objectives, organisations and success.

• Summarise strategies for the execution of the development process in response to the client’s objectives.
