Wembley Stadium Project Analysis
This article discuss about the project management scenario of the construction of the
Wembley stadium that is suitable for organising several sports tournaments like rugby, football,
and several athletics, also it has the capacity to accommodate around 90,000 people at once.
The requirements of some stakeholders were failed in prioritizing which resulted in huge
payments to the stake holders and filing of lawsuit against the management team. The sharing of
information among stakeholders and team members were not properly done.
The proper disclosure of information and adequate involvement of stakeholders in the
project is necessary. The unfair bidding process occurred by awarding contractor quickly. The
information related to the bidding process must be shared to the public as £161 million public
funding was involved and eventually it had raised to £798 million. Therefore, proper
procurement processes must be followed.
As the project consists of unique design of stadium, so fixed price contract was not
favourable for this project. The adjustment of the changes resulted in over budget and operations
of the project were behind the original schedule. Therefore, cost estimation and time scheduling
must be done to maintain the positive relationship between the contractor and the client.
This article discusses about the changed design in 1999 from 1994 thus, £20 million had
to be returned to the Sport England as the athletics was removed from the previous design.
Football Association delayed the first payment and again the athletic platform design was
restored. All this events eventually resulted in the restructuring of the project scope. Thus the
budget fluctuated and resulted in increase overall cost.
The quality of the overall project was lower than everybody’s expectation, the concrete
quality for the stadium was not good, the football pitch was slippery etc..
