2CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT IntroductionThis report focuses on the delivery of the aspects related to the construction project beingdelivered at the Southampton Solent University that will be a beneficial approach for theuniversity reputation and for the students. This report has been delivered in the perspective of theproject manager in manner to manage the constraints related to this construction project.Construction project can be categorized in one of the riskiest section in the field of themanagement and this project is big project that will be needing proper and effective managerialand leadership skills for the accomplishment of the successful project. This report presents theproject management consideration emphasizing on the development of this construction project.sustainability has been the most trending and concerning topic for every sector in the world rightnow that needs to be incorporated within the project management. A section has been describedin this report emphasizing on the integration of the sustainability within the project management.Identification of the issues and threats in the design should be identified during the planningphase of the project. nD visualisation is a considerable method for reviewing the design andeliminating the issues related with the project design and construction of the building. Project Management ConsiderationsFor the project considerations, it is important to clear the topic ‘project’ that can bedescribed as a temporary endeavour with the starting and the end. This is what the case study isrelated to. Construction of building is the project and there are several aspects related to thisproject that needs to be managed in an effective and efficient way (Hardin and McCool 2015).PMI has launched the simple and easy process of project management processes and representedthat the project management is an application of tools, techniques, skills, and knowledge those

3CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT will be needed for the successful delivery of this building in an efficient and effective manner.Comparing the American Project Management processes with the ARABI; it can be concludedthat “Arab executives utilised mostly a consultative decision making style. Ali attributed thisfinding to cultural forces such as religion and tribal structure in the Arab culture (Hu et al.2016).” The PMBoK states that the primary objective of the project management is to meet orexceeds the expectations of the stakeholders through the application of these skills and deliver itwithin the expected schedule and budget. The activities associated with the project managementare identification of the requirements, establishment of the achievable and clear objectives,balancing the demands between the time, scope, and quality of the deliverables, and adaption ofthe concerns, plans, and specifications, of the stakeholders. Project Management Process and FrameworkThe project management processes have been categorized within the framework of theProject Management Institute (PMI), that is the U.S based non-profit that has spread theirchapters all over the world. The framework of the project management has been defined in theproject Management Book of Knowledge (PMBoK). Following are the five processes involved in the PMBoK framework and can berecommended as the proper methodology for the execution of the construction project as per thecase study: Initiation planning, execution, control, and closing processes in a closed loop(Harrison and Lock 2017). Following is the explanation of these processes:Project Planning Process: For the establishment of the so large construction project ofthe sports building, it is a crucial factor to implement proper and effective planning anddetermination of all the aspects related to the project before executing it. The project planning

4CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT should be emphasizing on the scope statement, team contract, project scheduling, workbreakdown structure, and prioritization of the risks. These objectives could be accomplishedthrough various tools and techniques that includes the MS project, Gantt chart, WBS and manymore. Project Execution Process: After the proper and feasible planning, the project need to beexecuted in an effective and efficient manner (Mock, Shen and Yang 2015). The key personalwho will be responsible for the effective deployment of this section is the project manager, whoshould be utilizing his or her managerial and leadership skills for managing the challengesoccurred during the project deployment. The project manager should prepare a milestone reportemphasizing on the accomplishment of the objectives considering the fulfilment of therequirements and needs of the stakeholders. Project Monitoring and Controlling Process: this phase emphasizes on the measurementof the development and growth of the project and compare it with the project planned in the veryfirst phase of the project. It is an effective approach towards the introduction of the new changesin the middle of the project execution for maintaining and managing the schedule and budget ofthe project (Sha’ar et al. 2017). This will be helpful in keeping the project constraints in controland blocking the project from being destroyed. This will be including the updates of the variousplans, requested changes, and performance report. Project Closing: It is also same crucial valued phase than rest of the phases, whichemphasizes on the proper documentation of all the accomplishment and identified objectives ofthe project. This will release all the bounded employees, contractors, and other stakeholders forthe contracts and paper works done before the execution of the project.

5CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT BIM (Building Information Modelling)BIM can be used for digitally representing the functional and physical characteristics forthe facility including the design, analysis, documentation and virtual assessing. “The virtual BIMmodel is not only graphical design but also a virtual database which includes the managementdata. So the construction manager (CM) can use BIM as a real simulation of the actual project(Love et al. 2015).” BIM can be helpful in representing the whole facility life-cycle and will behelpful in considering every aspects of the building construction at Southampton SolentUniversity and thus, developing an efficient model and design of the respective building.It canresult in the efficient and effective delivery of the project management approaches and phasesexplained above in much effective manner. Within the project Southampton Solent University,building construction, BIM can be an effective technology for developing the model of thebuilding and visualizing the construction project in a 3D virtual representation. The projectmanager can utilize the rendering, walkthrough, and sequence of the model in manner to lead aneffective communication between the interested contractors.Framework Timeline and BudgetWBSTask NameDurationStartFinishPredecessorsResource NamesCost0Southampton SolentUniversitySportsBuilding Construction690 daysTue 6/13/17Mon 2/3/20£20,025,568.001Concept Phase665 daysTue 6/13/17Mon 12/30/19£5,695,120.001.1ConstructionPlanning40 daysTue 6/13/17Mon 8/7/17Architecture,Contractor, ProjectManager£848,000.001.2Managers’Meetings15 daysTue 8/8/17Mon 8/28/172Architecture,Contractor, ProjectManager£318,000.001.3Project Proposal610 daysTue 8/29/17Mon 12/30/19£2,257,920.00
