TASK 2
Identifying the different types of construction companies in the market
Construction companies are those enterprises which mainly aims in making different
buildings, bridges, dams. These mainly helps in executing the infrastructure work with agreeing
on the requirements.
Real estate developers/ construction companies
These construction companies mainly focuses on constructing the commercial complex,
societies, business towers, office building and the flats. These are further subdivided into the
commercial and residential real estate.
General contractor companies
These are those construction contractors which mainly aims in specifying and responsible
for the day to day activities of the oversight construction sites. These mainly indulge in the
labour and management related workings in the construction site.
Industrial infrastructure companies
These are those which mainly includes building of water park, water dock, industrial park
and the commercial with residential property (Mustafa and Waheed, 2019). It mainly aims in
performing the multi skill tasks of the road, wastage, bridges, drainage etc.
Subcontractor companies
Contractors of the projects are mainly hiring the subcontractors which helps in pursuing
the projects with ease including plumbing, electrical, roofing, flooring, HVAC etc.
Civil engineering company
These companies mainly aim in planning, designing, maintaining bad building structures
and the infrastructures of roads, airports, tunnels, dams, power plants and the sewage systems.
Architecture designing company
These firms mainly plan and helps in meeting the needs of consumers with creating living
spaces by using various tools.
Material supplies and equipment lessor
It is an unseen construction company which aims in supplying the materials wwhihc
helps in building the project.
Package builders

these are a type of construction companies which aims in constructing the structures and design
with providing various services (Construction companies and its types, 2022). These individuals
have the right to show the samples of projects undertaken in past.
Explaining and analysing the relationship between process
The interrelation with the companies mainly aims in describing about the ink with the
other construction companies which helps in construction the project in successful manner.
Tendering mainly aims in inviting the bids for the large project, their main aim is to eliminate the
favouritism and corruption (Muhammed and et.al). As there are different types of tenders being
invited based on different requirements. Process involved in this includes as inviting tender,
submissions, contract endorsement execution, evaluation, and warding process.
Tendering mainly helps in building good relations while buying and selling of the
construction services. Meetings in tendering mainly helps in building effective relations with the
client. As the negotiated tendering method is mainly interrelated with the engineering and
construction industry. Also, term tendering is used covering the range of different building in
different locations. Further the serial tendering is based on providing bill of quantities for the
scheduled work for fixed time period (Adeleke and et.al., 2018). Thus, the tendering processes
are interrelated with different construction companies which helps in passing and easily
negotiating the tender with the clients by making good relations. Also it helps in better passing
the tendering processes for the business with making buildings and properties.
TASK 3
Identification of construction process and their response to sustainability needs
Modern construction process are the methods of developing the construction industry with
proper planning and designing of each project that are undertaken. It also reduces the
construction time, cost and helps in maintaining overall sustainability. Examples of modern
construction process includes the following,
Precast Flat Panel System:
It is a method of construction that involves the procedure of making floor and wall units
off sit. It includes the panel units to be made as per the design specification and requirements. It
is also suited or the repetitive construction project activities.

3D Volumetric Construction:
The 3D volumetric construction involves the manufacturer of the units that form modules
in off site. Installation of such site is said to be the assembling of module that help the units that
are called as 3D volumetric construction or modular construction (Herbst and et.al., 2020).
The precast flat panel system is construction type which is produced for the
manufacturing of cement is offset with the minimal costs, lower heating and cooling costs and
the reabsorption of concrete in the structure’s life. The precast is said to be environment friendly
because of lack of carbon emission during its life. The 3D volumetric construction is also
sustainable as it utilizes less energy as the 90% of the construction modular is build off site. It is
considered to be using most recycle materials in comparison to other methods of construction.
These buildings are said to be recyclable in nature and also portable which makes them easy to
be taken down.
Contract planning techniques within Micro and Macro projects
Contract planning techniques in construction are the crucial policies that are essential for
attaining project objectives but also important for monitoring and planning of progress of
construction that works with the cost and time. Contract planning techniques are considered to be
the collection of the information on the device that helps in the determination of the level of
management, design, construction, maintenance and operations. It is said to be the different parts
of the supply chain that helps in the extension of the services that are integrated for the
determination of the risks which are allocated for the different parties involve in the construction.
The contract planning techniques that are used for the macro and micro process are,
• bar charts
• critical path analysis
• Line of balance techniques
• precedence diagrams
These are said to be the factor that is able to develop the feature that allow the business to
be able to develop the practices that can contribute towards the success of the construction
process. Macro planning is the planning process of construction that takes the long term process
in to the consideration for the planning of the methods of construction that are taken for being
able to achieve the success. Micro planning on the other hand are said to be the ones that are
plans for the short term success and goals for the construction features.

Impacts of BIM on construction
BIM is the visualization of construction activities and the accrued costs that is said to be virtually
represents the construction and hence is the quantity of material that are more accurate and
traditionally taken off through the estimation of costs. The use of building information modelling
is important for the construction business because it allows in improving every aspect of the
project. It is also said to be the factor that enables the design, construction and engineering teams
that work together using the digital technologies. It is used for leading the better outcomes
overall. It allows the constructing to improve because of the safety through the pinpointing
hazards before they become problematic towards the physical risks that are visualized and
planned site towards the logistics. The visual risk analysis is said to be the evaluation of the
safety that helps in ensuring the course of the project operational execution. The impacts that it
has on the construction are as follows,
• It helps in improving the onsite collaboration and communication between different units.
• The use of BIM has been identified in the model based cost estimation (Kamali, Hewage
and Sadiq, 2019).
• The visualization of the projects is considered to be the key requisite to the
preconstruction period of the operations.
• The MI is said to be able to develop better coordination and the clash between the
detected problem.
• It allows in the mitigation of the risk and the reduction of the costs which improve the
organizational growth.
• This is the key factor towards the scheduling and sequencing of the construction
practices.
• It has been said to increase the productivity through prefabrication.
• It has been seen to be providing better safety on the construction site.
• Execution overall is said to have a better build with the use of BIM in at construction
operations.
• It also allows the construction organization in streamlining the facility
