P7 Explain contract planning techniques used within micro & macro projects.
Contact planning techniques refer as design and develop the specific structure that can
help to implement the work that is totally based on the specific segment. There are mainly four
techniques arte contain for this project planning like brainstorming, critical path analysis,
diagrams and Gantt chart. All these techniques generally facilitate to the construction
organisation so that they can evolve their work planning that can aid to obtain the
organisational goals properly. In context of micro project, all these techniques are used to
complete the project on time.
In term of macro and micro project, both project require specific planning and resources
that can help in the allocation of all the task with the help of useful strategies. Macro level of
planning consider the high level of project description and it contain as a short & concise the
specific points. On the basis of macro project, numerous techniques are utilized for effective
planning. Apart from this, micro project work planning contains various details about the plans
and techniques that facilitate for the contractors to evolve their plan and help to attain more
macro level of project objectives.
P8 Identify where BIM impacts upon operations & construction companies.
This concept helps to gain more information with the help of BIM (building information
modeling). That considered the community bases process and aid to produce the creating,
working different innovation activities & also develop the progressive strategies to prepare the
structure and make some considerations for their implementations in order to achieve the
