for better brief and understanding of the process of construction for the
building. This helps the client in examining and observing the designing
of the building that how they can allocate the resources.

Explanation of scenario
The scenario is of the project type of commercialization where building is to be made for the commercial purposes. It
includes the services like banking and finance, selling and purchasing of goods and services, warehousing and many
more commercial activities in the building which satisfy the requirements of the process needed to build up the floors and
rooms. Constructing such type of a building can take a good decision making among the contractors to design the flow of
the construction and infrastructure as per the the requirements of the offices which is to be set up in the building on
different floors for better operations in various organizations. Structure of the building justifies or depicts the efficiency

Owolabi, 2017).
Client is one of the top banking organisations which is planning to build a new Head office in the City of London. The
existing office is inadequate to accommodate the new emerging technologies in the sector. The client therefore wishes to
build this new building so that it is not only a signature building with an artistic statement which gives the building
prestige and international acclaim but also reflects the commitment of the organisation to “sustainability” in line with its
CSR (corporate social responsibility) and satisfies the shareholders expectations in term of “value for money”. The new
building will serve the needs of the client and also offer further income streams through leasing some of the floors to
other institutional investors. The client does not have in-house expertise to manage such a challenging project and is
seeking advice on the most appropriate method of procurement and contracts to achieve its ambition and targets.
