Communication
Project Delivery System
This officer is answerable to the client. He/she
updates the client on the progress of the project.
The communication in this line is
either way since it involves
consultation.
Are answerable to the
management
contractor. Updates
regularly on the
progress of the
project
The design team is
responsible for
ensuring that all the
engineering design
is as per clients
demands. They
communicate
regularly with the
quantity surveyor
regarding variation
in the measurement
required.

Role of Architects
The owner of the project is top-ranked in the
delivery system. Responsible for the release of
the work to be done/Resources.
Delivers project finally to the client
after ascertaining that all the
required,ents have been met.
Deals with the entire
engineering requirement
during construction to meet
the demands of the clients
including proper design.
Delivery of
materials to be
used during the
construction
process.
Sub-contractor serves to
ensure that specific or
portion of the work in
the entire project is
done.
The portions that have
been sub-contract when
brought together
collectively deliver the
entire project
The procurement process deals with contracting
processes to ensure that all the works are done on
a legal basis.

 Architects play a very important role in the construction industry. Basically, they are
responsible for the visual appearance of the structures and buildings before they are
finally constructed.
 The architect is an individual who has been appointed by the client to develop a particular
concept of the facility as well as the requirements as specified by the clients. He./she
makes good use of the creative as well as vision ideas to have the client satisfied. The
design evolved by the architects must strictly follow the laws of the building as stated in
the country.
 Participates in the understanding of the potential as well as limitation of the site proposed
by the clients.
 Discuss the targets of the finances
 Suggestions as well as studying the possible solution if the work is to be renovated or
rehabilitated with the laws of the construction.
 Presenting as well as bringing feasibility study.
Role of Quantity Surveyor
 Advising on the site potential as well as working out what can be afforded by the client
which is commonly referred to as the feasibility
 Presentation of detailed information on the cost within the particular elements of work
the regular basis to allow for the processing of the payment as required.
 Dealing with contractual vas well as matters of legality
 Cost management just to ensure that there is no exceeding budget.
 Staff payment arrangement at the end of a particular task.

Role of Project manager
A project manager is an individual who has the general obligation regarding the fruitful
inception, arranging, structure, execution, checking, controlling and conclusion of a project.
Development, petrochemical, engineering, data innovation and various enterprises that produce
items and administrations utilize this activity title. The project manager must have a mix of
aptitudes including a capacity to pose infiltrating inquiries, recognize implicit suspicions and
resolve clashes, just as increasingly broad administration abilities. Key among project manager
obligations is the acknowledgment that hazard legitimately impacts the probability of
achievement and that this hazard must be both formally and casually estimated all through the
lifetime of a venture. The responsibilities include the following:
 Scope definition as well as planning
 Sequencing as well as planning of the activities
 Planning of resources
 Scheduling of the develop
 Estimation of the timing
 Budget estimation.
Part of Drawing
Drawing technique is very vital as it provides the basic drawing knowledge of an efficient
integrated system. Lack of proper design and plan may make the design system to be
inappropriate. Engineering drawing discloses the possible required information for understanding
the technique. The advantages associated by writing for an author is likely to be linked to the
advantages associated with technique drawing. Engineering drawing is capable of fabric

communication and for that reason, it is referred to as "Language Engineering". Usually, the
engineering industries adopt the utilization of the drawings to teach basics in the first half. The
basic knowledge acquired is very important in various areas of applications including the
engineering industry as well. In other sectors like building, engineering drawings are also
required to act as a plan for the construction. The technique gives a picture of materials in the
sector of machines and many other applications.
Drawing technique inoculates various methods including the manual technique of drawing and
the automatic drawing technique. In the manual technique of drawing, the drawing is done by the
recommended tools worldwide referred to as the stone tools which include rulers, pencils, and
Rapido for the hand drawing. The automatic drawing technique is the engineering drawing
technique that involves the use of a personal computer with installed software for running such
operations. This software includes the auto cad, cad, or 3d max1.
The scientific technique in engineering drawing does not specifically apply only to the
engineering industry but as well as other engineering fields for designing the construction where
the alumnae of engineering should take proper management and change in engineering drawing
in the manual drawing technique that does not involve the use installed software like 3d max, cad
and auto cad. Collection of relevant information is very vital in the engineering technique of
drawing and this can be done through a properly conducted fieldwork based on the specific
knowledge provided to the researchers. This will facilitate the technique to the standards of the
developed nations.

performance." Journal of Construction Engineering and Management (2016)

Development of the technique is a very important factor as well to be considered in the
engineering drawings to achieve the required objectives of the product. This will help develop a
way for the attaining the maturity of the product of interest.

QUESTION 4
COMPLETE DESIGN COMPANY

To Ms. Vail
MANAGING DIRECTOR
LADDER MANUFACTURING COMPANY
BOX 234
NAIROBI.
Dear Madam
SUBJECT: QUALITY LEDDER DESIGN OFFER AT COMPLETE DESIGN COMPANY

I wish to draw the attention of your company particularly the manufacturing department
to the above-mentioned subject. I am a design team leader at the "Complete Design Company”
The company deals with the design of the mechanical components. In general, there has been a
tendency towards higher rates of growth in the gross revenue in those companies which uses the
concept of the design. The average investment as per our investigation in the procurement sector
is over 600000. The study on the procurement sees a very promising future for those companies
that tend to implement design aspect in their day to day operations. The purchase of the design
aspect values by your whether internally or externally will definably make your company grow
competitively. We have evaluated the potential of the similar companies of in case there is the
incorporation of the design aspect and what has come out is an average of 9.25 million from the
minimum end.
Our company follows due to procedures when delivering the services of the design.
During the stage of constructing the prototype, a representation of the idea as presented to the
client is given priority over all other things. The last phase of the Design Thinking strategy
comprises in showing a model of the answer for its unique client all together to get an
assessment of the produced item. Because of this, it is conceivable to answer the inquiry: What
worked, and what didn't? At this stage, the planned arrangement is tried in a genuine domain in
which the item will be utilized.
Considering that your company deals with the safety ladders, we intend to adopt the following
procedures for your products as part of the benefits:
Design Ladder

Also, to note, there has been observed related to the design ladder by companies. It is a devise
used in a business to determine the design level.
1st step of the Design Ladder
Design is very important in any business activity, and the execution of little design available
design is done by non-professional staff members. Solutions to design are on the basis of
functionality view and the shared aesthetics between the designers. End-users contribute very
little or do not totally contribute to the design.
2nd step of Design Ladder
In the view of design as styling, it is seen to be the final product aesthetic. Designing work
can be done by design expert but in most cases, other experts with different professions may be
included. It is important to indicate the fundamental parameters and their qualities, on account
of which it will be conceivable to obviously decide the aftereffects of the directed test. This stage
requires the inclusion of numerous individuals and backing from the specialized, formal,
regulatory and even legitimate side. Simply after the effective tests, one can discuss the status of
the item or administration for its usage. Shockingly, this stage is regularly disregarded in the
usage of numerous ventures, which simply sometime later turns out that the best answer for the
issue, as it would appear, does not by any stretch of the imagination meet the required
suppositions and desires for its beneficiaries
In light of the above, I am persuading your company to consider partnering with "Complete
Design" in order to Remain Competitive. Together we excel. I am looking forward to your
positive cooperation.

Yours Sincerely
OMBEKO LESSO
Design Team Leader
