INTRODUCTION
The standard and planned practices followed in the construction industry. That will
optimal of outcome and profits are regarded as best practices in it. These practices are policies,
procedure and complete system. The construction practices and management is help to make the
building, complex with effective and strategic planning. Present study is based on the “Conlon
holdings Ltd. This company does both new build and property development. It is medium sized
family owned construction firm (Crawford and et.al., 2017). Study lays emphasis on the
construction firm is developed professionalism within its structure and scope and link between
all the practices and also types of construction work. It is also shows different type of
construction company in market and relationship different construction organisation. Report will
cover by modern construction and sequences leads, contract planning techniques used in within
macro and micro projects. BIM impacts operations and construction companies. It is also
highlighted by the government legislation has benchmarked health and safety within the
construction and discussed the roles of collaboration and communication in ensuring safe
working practices.
TASK 1
A) the construction industry has developed and encompasses professionalism in structure.
The construction industry development is the managed process to optimise the
contribution of this industry. It is also promoting social and economic development in objective
which are help to promote the industry performance and competitiveness with improved the
value of clients. It is effective and best for industry which is developed and promote the building
and complexes. It is developed and encompasses professionalism within its structure by
generating and using new techniques and tools.
The construction industry is developed day to day its structure with effective and best
professionalism (Guerard Jr and et.al., 2015). The professionalism is involves exercising the
body of unique and expert knowledge. The standard knowledge and standard of behaviour is also
helped to use the techniques and tools of resources. The management of construction is address
the roles and the contribution which deliver process of project inspection to project handover and
maintenances. The medium sized sector client, build environment, construction, material
1

manufacture and suppliers, training etc. by this development and encompasses of construction
industry helps within its structure.
B) Scope and link between all parties within a construction organisation.
The scope of construction industry is key component to the wider view of valuing the
sector and to evaluating construction it makes to the economy. That help to make countries
economy best and better from current and future growth of the industry. It is them major
strategic importance and it is essential. It is important indicator which is help and create
investment opportunities at various related sector (Howarth and Greenwood, 2017).
There are having the various parties which are involved in a construction industry like
employer/client, contractor, architect, quality supervisor and civil engineers. That all plays an
important role at work place with maintain effective relationship of parties. According to the
case study they are playing their role in complex design and make effective relations to
employees. Client is say set the dead line of the project completion and give the details about the
complex design to contractor. Contractor is take architect for design and set the parameter like 2
km by 2 km area covers with the help to quality supervisor and test.
That they make effective plan for the material uses, time and capacity of workers. The
civil engineers play an important role in that because only they are the person who make and
plans for the thinks which is related to the design of complex. They make proper design like
blog's creation, lighting and location of the shops and halls which are established at complex.
That are the relationship between all the parties of construction industry (Karimidorabati and
et.al., 2016).
C) Different type of contractual work tendered by contractor.
There are three types of tendering methods in the construction which are open, selective
and negotiation. Each and every type of tendering are describes at as follows:
Open tendering
It is the main tendering procedure employed by both like private and government. In this
client advertises the tenders offer in the local newspapers with some key information of work
and project (Lin, Chang. and Su, 2016). By this contractor is contact to them for work and then
they both plan for building preparing.
Selective tendering
2

It is also a type of tendering that addressed limitation of the open tendering process. In
this process contractor is short listed and they are invited for submit tenders. The purpose of this
is to improve quality of bids received to ensure the contractor.
Negotiation tendering
This type of tendering is widely used in the engineering and construction industry
commencing the form tendering until the resolutions. It is best but having the risk in that. That
have help to make the effective and best part.
For the scenario basis complex contractor of medium sized construction firm is uses the
selective tender. It is effective and advantage for the employer is to select one best and better
contractor they have experience, resources and skills to do work.
D) Construction industry has developed company structure, its employees and contracted work.
The construction industry is followed their company structure. Structure is support
knowing about the work and solve problems which are related to work. That help to develop
employees and contracted work (Lines and et.al., 2015). The construction industry is developed
the industry and it companies structure by making it effective and best way. The organisational
structure is helps determine the success.
Medium sized organisational structure is followed the functional structure. This help to
develop the company structure. According to this structure management is able to give proper
direction to executives and they give information to their team members. The construction
industry is developed company structure and its employees. By these employees are developed
and work effectively with best result.
In this structure each departments has manager and director they are answer to executive
a level up in industry. By this having advantage to employees are grouped by skill set and
function, that allow them to focus their collective and team members. That help to develop
company structure and its employees by set skills and growth power.
E) Critically evaluate the construction company has developed their structure and business ethos.
Construction company can develop their structure and business ethos by the making
effective and valuable planning (Lu, Webster and Chen, 2017). That is help to make effective
planning with the best result of work. The development of company structure and business ethos
are help to grow towards innovation. It is give positive impact on the business ethos by
implementing new and innovative ideas for the work. Other hand it is also given the negative
3

impact on the work like changes are make and create the work load and it is difficult to
understand by all and every employees.
This impact to the scenario by giving negative and positive impact. This development
help to the design of complex but by the changes it is critical to develop it. These industrial
sector is provided the as key structure of high specification and its work for long term duration.
By this development of structure and business ethos are affect business and company.
TASK 2
A) Different type of construction companies in the market and the key features and give
suggestion.
The construction company are divided into different type which are depends upon type of
job of company performance. The role of construction such as the land, design, financial
planning, execution, operating, maintaining and paper work (Ma and Wang, 2018). Each and
every type of construction companies are as follows:
Small renovation contractor
Small renovation contractor is generally work on the jobs requiring small amount of
capital and the type of work. It is performs the home alternatives and small commercial and
offices work. In this they have their offices at their home and perform paper work.
Owner builder
The company is the act like owner and builder is not a contractor in the strict sense of the
word. This company is build buildings for only its own ownership, rent and operate. In this
owner is build complex and buildings very well but it is only their own.
Real estate developer
This is type of owner builder, in additions they build building and complex for their
personal ownership. In this, they are build to sell before and after completion of the projects.
Professional construction manager
This is defined the company, individual and group they perform functions required in the
building the projects as agent of an owner. In that only supplies personal requirement (Martínez-
Rojas and et.al., 2015).
4

For the scenario project, the real estate developer firm is best and effective for work. In
that having the effective advantage to the company. It is help to make the effective and best
planning for marketer.
B) relationship between existing companies working on the construction projects.
According to above discussion it is help to make the effective planning and relations
between the existing construction companies and its work task. All the companies are
interrelated to the business ethos and work task. There are various companies are work together
for clear the work task. That planed for making the resources and set the skills. The small
companies are interrelated to the owner builder company. By this they have to make effective
and valuable performance of work task (Myers, 2016).
The companies are working on the construction projects. They are helped to each other
by making effective and valuable sources. That all are plays their effective role for work.
Construction companies are play for build building and complex. They all are interrelated to the
each and everyone because all have their aim to make building, complex and construction
projects.
C) Analysis the link which are connected to the construction companies.
The construction companies covers the hidden weaknesses and threats while maximizing
their opportunities from conducting analysis the link of construction companies. Combining the
internal attributes of the company with the external constraints of marketplace. It is an industry
efficiency and studying it planning. As, per the scenario given that provide particular sector.
But other hand it has too much construction company business is with any one client of
the particular area (PMP, 2018). A company specializing in remoulding homes to market more
peoples. That are also challenges in marketer. The companies have new division and leveraging
existing leave them in position of work.
D) Compare main factor which differentiate between the contract and tenders.
The contract and tenders are affect ton business and its work process.
Tender
It is offer in writing to contractors to execute the specified workers or to supply the
specific material within a fixed time and as per conditions of contract and agreement between the
contractor and the owner, department and the party. This contains the bills of quantities,
5

specification of the work, completion of the work, condition of planning and drawing and
payments modes.
Contract documents
That are the agreements between owner and party or the department and contractor to
execute the work for specified the tender documents as per the conditions.
The difference is tenders documents are offered to as many contracts at lower cost and
contract documents are signed only with the contractor with the lowest tender or rates (Pöyhönen
and et.al., 2016). While the tender documents contains the conditions and all the give all the
details for the specified work but tender documents can not submit as letter of acceptance.
TASK 3
A) Modern construction process and sequences used in the industry.
The modern construction is help to make the effective and valuable buildings and
complex with the help of process and new techniques. It is effective and best for working. That
are developed in construction industry with the proper planning and design. By this each project
reduces their work time, cost and maintain overall sustainability.
It is the process of preparing building and building system. The process of the building is
large structure with uses of cost, time and environment. It is start with the planing, design and
financing and constraints until the structure is ready for occupancy. It is effective and best for
making the fast and valuable process of the work. It is sustainable for the scenario project by
fewer deliveries so less traffic disruption, off site manufacture. This help to improve the energy
of performance and sustainable material uses. By this firm is reduced the waste and sustainability
at end of life-cycle (Rokooei and et.al., 2017).
B) Techniques of contract planning within the micro and macro projects.
The micro and macro planning is the effective and valuable for division of project as per
the work and departments.
Macro planning
Macro planning is covers the whole project from the drawing board of opening. It is
refers the to the process of keeping track of analysis multiple projects spanning.
 Planning is help to make cost, instruction work process and all the thinks which are
related to the process.
6

 Schedule for the construction projects is critical task are mutually interdependent and can
the increase cost.
 Quality control is the important and best part of construction techniques. Quality control
is help to control and uses material and the work affect the value of the structure building.
Micro planning
Micro planning is covers the specific part of the project in greater details. This referring
the practices of keeping the track and analysis the progress.
 Planning is help to make the effective part of the every process of work (Safa and et.al.,
2017). This includes a work breakdown structure, program evaluation and review the
techniques.
 Cost control is every project is required. Planning activities are identifying the task and
completed and assign corresponding work. It is effective and valuable for the projects
task. By this management is known about their work and techniques.
For the scenario, selected the macro planning techniques and planning process. By this
contractor is help to make the effective planning, schedule for work and quality control. It is
effective and best for the planning it.
C) BIM impact to operation and construction.
The business information model is a project as well as a process simulation. This help to
provide all the information which is related to the work and process which is effective and help
to build the information related to the construction (Sears and et.al., 2015). It is the 3D model
concept of project planning and components with links to all the required information connected
planning, construction, operation and decommissioning. This affect to operations of the work
and also to the construction process. It is effective and valuable for the norms but most the time
it affects to the work negatively which is not good for the work.
Business information process give information and all the legislation of the work. This
affect to work operations because company is have to take decisions according to this
information and try to give the effective and valuable process of work. These terms and policies
they have to take and includes in the operations. By this it affects to business and its operations
and also to constructions of complex by medium sized construction Company.
7

D) Analysis that innovation, designs help to develop the constructions.
The construction is help to build the building and complex. The innovation and design is
help to make the effective and valuable part for develop its area of knowledge. Innovations are
make effective design within the contract for micro and macro projects. That are effective and
best interrelationship with business information model. It is help to make the interrelationship
between the effective and making planning for its.
Micro projects are make innovations for the development process. Macro projects are
help to make the effective and valuable innovation by design implementing. That are effective
and valuable. It is beneficial for the scenario projects and its implementation. By that are make
effective and valuable planning. This help to growth project and in both productivity and profits.
Profits increases are help to make the effectiveness of projects (Crawford and et.al., 2017).
TASK 4
A) Healthy and safety become integrated part of construction process.
Healthy and safety on a construction site can either and not properly managed. The usage
of building information modelling for the construction execution has the potential for
understanding sites are help to reduce the probability of accidents. It is very important for the
every business but it plays an important role in the construction business. It is effective and best
part of the organisation.
BIM is help make effective and best relations to health and safety communication. It is
important to care and give safety treatments to the employees. By these employees are attracted
and give their hard contribution to achieve the work goals. This become the part of the
construction company (Guerard Jr and et.al., 2015).
B) The government legislation has the benchmarked health and safety within construction.
The government legislation has the benchmarked health and safety within construction.
This is plays an important role in construction field because there is having lost of risks and
chances to accidents. In the management have to make safe and healthy work environment at the
workplace and to do give insurance policies. It provides help and assistance to work safety on the
most task. It will also help to identify the main causes of accidents and ill health and explants.
For the scenario they have to make effective and valuable sources for safety program. For
that they can use the insurance policies and effectiveness of work.
8

C) The role of collaboration and communication in safe working practices.
This help to increase the effectiveness of the work. It is important for the collaboration
and communication in safe working practices.
 To maintain and develop a positive safety culture.
 It is used to describe the values, attitudes, norms and beliefs that are held for collectively
towards safety within an organisation.
 The strong commitment of the top management to safety is vital for building strong
safety culture (Howarth, 2017).
 Th true adoption of safety and healthy work.
For the scenario they consider the effective and valuable safety for employees and work place.
They give insurances polices and norms for the employees. Make effective and valuable
planning for the safety and healthy environment.
D) Changes in the healthy and safety legislation.
Construction firm can make changes in their healthy and safety legislation by the work
task. It is effective and best for the employees safety at the construction sites. They can include
the insurance polices in their rules and regulations. It is effective and best for safety. At the
workplace worker is injured in that insurance policy is useful and help to pay the hospital
expenses (Lines and et.al., 2015).
They can change their tools and techniques at the place they can use the innovative and
advanced technology for uses. This help to reduce the risk and accidents of the employees. The
changes in employees notify practices.
E) Impact of the healthy and safety legislation and its advantages and disadvantages.
This impact to work and operation of firm and also to its objectives and goals. It is
effective and valuable for the company and its growth. Company have take decisions according
to the legislation acts and its procedure. That have advantages and disadvantage are as follows:
Advantages:
 Demonstrate the business is addressing it health and safety obligations.
 Clarify functions and responsibility in the business.
 Save the time by allowing the health and safety matters.
 Help to reduce the risk and accidents, and also take care of employees (Myers, 2016).
Disadvantage:
9

 Equipment for the manufacture is expensive so the prices.
 To spend some time investing in the process.
 Costs of implementation and ongoing maintenance.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it had been concluded that the construction practices and
management has plays an important role in the construction organisation. Report had been
covered by the development of professionalism in the structure of the structure and it has lost of
scope of jobs and effectiveness of work place. There has various types of the contractual work
and that played an important role in the market. That have effective and valuable relationship
with the companies. Modern techniques planning and effective use of the resource helped to
maintain reduces the risk and also help for control and fastest growing work. Healthy and safety
legislation has helpful and played an important role in the construction company.
