DIPLOMA OF BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION 2Diploma of Building and Construction1a.Determine accurate measured material quantities using appropriate units of measurement for the item of work Two of the trades chosen here is metal work and plaster. For the case of aluminum windows, standard measurements can be in millimeters (2100x2400). For easier determination ofquantities, meters are the appropriate units.If the window measures 2.1m x2.4m, its area will be 5.04m2.The value of 1m2 is 106, for 5.04 it will be 106x5.04 = $534.24In plastering, one item can be the cement render to internals, which is measured in m2 also. If the area of the room in question is say 18.73m2 18.73 14.5 = $271.15b. Determine appropriate productivity constants for the item of work Productivity constant = quantity of work produced / time duration (John Rawlinson Co-Partnership Group.1983)Therefore, productivity constant for metal work= 995(the overall quantity)/197 days = 5For plastering work, productivity constant = 5800/143 days = 40.6c. Determine tradesman hours workedTradesman hours for metal works = 5x 6days in a week = 30hours. For plastering, the worked hours = 40.6 x 6 = 243.6 hours

DIPLOMA OF BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION 3d. Determine a suitable gang sizeThe appropriate gang size that is recommended is 70-100 workers for 1 tradesman. From this project, the gang size that is suitable is 50 workers,e. Determine time needed to complete the task. Total time require for the project is the sum of all days listed in the items of works. That is; (20days+ 155 days+ 144 days + 197 days + 224 days + 221 days + 138 days + 87 days + 143 days + 19 days + 53 days + 40 days + 40 days + 33 days)= 1514 days.f. Review the task shown in the project and verify its sequence and the duration allowed. Would you make any changes? If so what would you change, and why? There are changes that should be made to this schedule. The reason as to why changes ought to be made is that a schedule itself is just an estimate: every date that is in the schedule is estimated, therefore, if those dates do not correspond to the set time required for the project then, the schedule will be inaccurate. The schedule is not detailed as it is should be, a column to show the exact starting time and ending time should be included. The activities the take little time for example plastering should be given minimum to time to save extra costs. Number of labourers can also be increased to cut out extra days that will make the project delay and incur more costs.2. Critique the program provided – find and discuss any inconsistencies that you can find. Would you ask for changes to be made, and why?
