Introduction:
The study has been based on Sraymax – London Builder Ltd. initiated project as they have
signed a new business venture with London School of Science and Technology in order to
renovate the industrial complex into college buildings. In this approach the project manager have
planned a six months refurbished plan and estimated a total cost of £1,500,000 for the initiated
contract with maintenance duration time for 6 years. The project consist of management cycle
plan so that all task could be completed within estimated period of time. The roles and
responsibilities of each individual within the project team with proper allocation of resources
have been presented. Project scheduling, cost estimation plan, communication plan and risk
management approach have also been discussed and evaluated by the project manager with the
aid of appropriate scheduling tools. The change control procedure in order to complete the
project processes have been presented so that project performance can be easily determined.
Task 1:
1.1 Describing the project management cycle plan for constructing the building

The project management cycle such as Initiation, planning, execution, monitoring & controlling
and closing of the project has been determined with the aid of Gantt chart. Thus, for constructing
the building project, the manager of Sraymax must able to analyse the strategic planning that is
associated with the desired result(Kerzner, 2017).At first the project manager will make overall
plan of the project to measure cost and time of the same. Then the project manager will establish
business case of the project to ensure that the projected outcomes are aligned with the client’s
goal. In the next phase of project cycle the project manager will define all the project scope and
milestones to ensure successful completion of the project. To execute this plan project team will
complete all the project tasks within the projected time and with the expected quality. Success of
a project also depends on monitoring and controlling of the same, so that team leaders of the
4

project will measure performance of their team members to monitor all the tasks, and will
provide good working environment and training to control their activities (Nicholas & Steyn,
2017). This process takes four weeks. At last in the closure step, the success of the project is
being analysed and monitored by the manager so that clients demand can easily be met.
Following is the list of the activities those will be carried out for the successful delivery of the
project within the phases stated above:

Project Management Cycle
Initiating
Initiation will begin with Sraymax meeting with LSST organisers to talk about the project and if
it is doable. Negotiation will take place with the basic terms of the contract such as costs and
timeframe. After the terms have been achieved, Sraymax will form a project team to carry out
the work. The project will be initiated considering the estimation of the feasibility of the project
that whether the proposed project will be capable of eliminating the existing problems and
leading the project towards the success. The first milestone will be the approval of the draft
prepared considering the goals, objectives, visions, and benefits related to the project.
Planning
6

Careful planning will commence, meeting the aims of the project, and the development of the
mission statement will pursue. Teams will be formed with delegated duties. This will include the
estimation of the budget and schedule planned for the delivery of the project as mentioned in the
above list of activities. The most emphasizing sector in this phase will be the risks and mitigation
of the risks through deploying proper and effective risk mitigation strategies. The impact of the
risks will be minimized to the extent level in manner to assure that the output and production of
the project will be not altered.
Execution
Sraymax will design the project of the college; testing and building of the college will take place.
This process will involve complex team activities. The involvement of the users and clients will
take place as and when deemed necessary according to the progress of the project. This phase
will assure that every stakeholder effectively communicate with each other and progress of the
project can be recorded and amendments can be made for motivating the project towards
success. Other than this, resource management will be emphasizing on the effectively and
efficiently implementation of the resources within every activity.
Controlling and monitoring
Project rollout will take place where Sraymax will expand their business after implementation.
Live testing, feedback and changes to the project will take place. Measuring the project is
important. The managers of Sraymax will measure project performance and progression. This
will be attained through key performance indicators where the managers can determine if the
project is on track. Maintenance for the LSST is five years, and this will be drawn up, and the
closing phase will commence. This will emphasize on assuring that the project is moving
towards the expected objectives and goals and proper measures will be taken such as training and
education program for assuring that the resources being utilized is capable of delivering the
necessary objectives and goals of the project.
Closing
At this stage the project is completed. Contractors hired will be terminated and valuable team
members will be thanked for their hard work. The managers of Sraymax will evaluate what went
well in the project of LSST and the failures they had to endure, as this is a learning process for
7

future projects. The project lifecycle also includes the closure phase emphasizing on releasing
the human resources and materials from agreements and assuring the documentation of proper
closure. The document prepared after the accomplishment of the project will assure that the
learning and knowledge gathered can be utilized by other manager in manner to proceed with the
project constraints and predicting the consequences of the actions taken for the delivery of the
project.
The project may still have some work still pending. The managers will create a punch-list of
things that did not go as planned and complete them; also, a final project budget and report will
be drawn up. Finally, all project documentation and materials will be taken away from the
project site and stored away in Sraymax.
1.2 Appraising the viability of projects, developing success/failure criteria
Year Cash flow
1 500
2 400
3 450
4 550
5 400
Discount Rate 5%
NPV £1,993.63
The NPV value is £1,993.63,and the project initiated cost is £1,500,000, so in this context, the
NPV value is positive and less than project cost which determines that the project is successful.
Thus, the appraised visibility objectives of the project arebeing determined by the stakeholders
and how the project manager relate the benefits of organisational goals. For the success of the
project, user involvement and executive management support involvement is essential to the
success of the project. On the other hand the project manager will focus on financial sources to
maintain this cost of the project. Decrease of discount rate also can be a cause of project failure.
Thus, if there is no proper planning, then there is a chance of project failure so the manager must
maintain an appropriate cash flow so that all clients requirement can be fulfilledpositively. By
8

determining the NPV positive value, it can be evaluated that Sraymax initiated project for
renovating London School of Science and Technology buildings is successful.
1.3 Explaining the principles behind project management system and procedures with
resources required for initiated project
Resource management is defined as the approach which is essential for managing the project in
an effective manner. Resource allocation ensures that all deliverables are met within the
stipulated periodto maintain the quality of the Sraymax project.
Types of resource that can be used for the construction of buildings are:
 A human resource such as labour, staffs etc.
 Raw materials such as cement, stones, sand dust, concrete etc.
 Technical equipment’s
 Proper Budget plan
 Project plan
The procedure and principles adopted for an effective project management is dependent on the
Board of Directors and employees of Sraymax – London Builder Ltd. which is being presented
below:
The commitment principle: To accomplish the task there should be a proper understanding and
commitment between project team and stakeholders so that all requirements could be fulfilled
within desired period of time without any delay.
The success principles: The success principles of Sraymax project for innovating the classroom
facilities of London School of Science and Technology building is dependent on the quality
attribute of desired result(Tao, et al., 2014). In this approach the project manager must be able to
meet all the clients’ requirement of making highly equipped classrooms, art library and faculty
offices within stipulated budget of project.
The process principle: This process defines the roles and responsibilities of the employees or
staffs within Sraymax project. It also provides specific designation and powers to the member
within the project according to their desired skills and experience in project management sector.
9

The Unity of Command principle: The significant advantage of this principle is that it allows
the project team members to create an effective communication channel with the stakeholders to
avoid any confusion or miscommunication. It also ensuresthat project necessity such as raw
materials, skilled staffs and provided training can easily be estimated.

1.4 Explain the key elements in involved in terminating projects and conducting post-
project appraisal
A project needs to follow project closer procedure to complete it successfully. The project
manager of this project will develop closing procedure according to consent of the client. At first
they will close the contract and verify all the project scopes to gain formal acceptance from all
the key stakeholders. The next element of project closer is proper documentation of the project
after that they will conduct phase-end review. To go through the process of post-project appraisal
the manager will submit the final report about overall performance of project members. In order
to make proper appraisal according to performance the project manager also will test and verify
the final product against estimated project deliverables. Project closer checklist also one of the
important element of this process.

Task 2:
2.1 Identifying the most appropriate organisational structure, roles and responsibilities of
participants within the project
Organisational structure plays a vital role in developing and systematically monitoring all the
task. There are different organisation structure that could be adopted by the project management
to accomplish the task within deadline period by controlling all the project attribute in an
effective manner(Teller & Gemünden, 2014).The organisational structure is matrix based
structure, programmatic based structure, hierarchical based structure, project-based structure etc.
Thus, the most appropriate organisational structure that can be followed by Sraymax – London
Builder Ltd. is a hierarchical business structure in which the flow of information is done from
top to down management. The responsibilities and roles of the team members within the project
is defined by the Board of directors or senior manager as they have the authority to command all
the subordinated in a structured manner. Under the selected organisational structure the
responsibilities and roles of individuals can be classified by the below given structure:

2.2 Control and coordinate a project
Project co-ordination reflects the monitoring, planning and controlling of all the attributes related
to the project deliverables. The key elements related to the project coordinationare projected
plan, communication plan, risk management plan, HR plan, budget plan, project manager and
regular meetings with the team members of Sraymax. According to Belbin team, there must be a
project coordinator who is responsible for making an effective communication channel with all
the project members to discuss bout the current project status and plan to accomplish business
goals(Ning, 2017). The controlling is also done by them and are responsible for distrusting the
task to all the staffs associated with the project according to their skill, experience and working
efficiency. To mitigate the risk, project coordinator always supports the subordinates and provide
the appropriate training and grooming session to enhance their proficiency skills. To control the
initiated project, the venture manager of Sraymax follow hierarchical organisation structure so
that all information can be transmitted to the staffs in a structured manner.
The coordination of the project is also maintained by making a communication plan where the
project managers and Board of members are responsible for coordinating with the project team to
get all current status of project deliverables(Boyle, 2017).

2.3 Assess project leadership requirements and qualities
Sraymax – London Builder Ltd. is a construction company which has done a contract to renovate
the industrial complex and building to make it a part of London School of Science and
Technology campus. Thus, the project manager related to this project must follow contemporary
leadership style to maintain and fulfil the project objectives within a stipulated period. To
accomplish the project work with the improved quality, the manager should have a project
management degree and have valuable experienced construction industry field. The qualities that
the leaders within the project should have are as follows:
Communication skills: The project manager or leader of the Sraymax project must have a good
communication skills so that they could convey their message and command to the team
members in an effective manner.
Vision skills: They should have the ability to set an achievable goal and could predict the future
outcome related to the project situation and task description.
Conflict is resolving skills: They must poses capability to mitigate any conflict within Sraymax
project by maintaining and controlling all attributes efficiently(Popaitoon & Siengthai., 2016).
They must motivate and influence the staffs to think beyond by providing technical and
grooming session to enhance their skills.
Enhanced knowledge of project management tools and technologies: The project manager
should have modernised knowledge about project management to complete the task in a cost-
efficient knowledge. Software knowledge of MSProject, Excel and command prompt should be
known to them so that they could make a reliable and appropriate project or budget plan
according to client requirement.
Leadership qualities: Project manager of Sraymax should have the ability to command and
motivate the employees so that they could all achieve the project goals in an efficient manner.
2.4 Plan and specify human resources and requirements for a project
Human resource management is defined as a practice which helps to manage and control
different attribute within workplace of the initiated project. Influential Human Resource
Management involves specialists in serving profitably to the general association and the
achievement of the affiliation's goals. The human resource management is responsible for
16

recruiting, staffing and development of team members so that the initiated project can be
completed within particular time framework(Brewster & Hegewisch, 2017). The roles and
responsibilities of Human resource within the project are to determine and allocate the resources
which are required for building construction process of Sraymax – London Builder Ltd. Human
resources are also associated with the project job description and manage the attribute so that
minimal resource allocation can be used by the managerto accomplish the task within initiated
budget. They provide training and grooming session to the team members according to their
skills and make sure that all members can get valuable benefits according to employee
performance within the workplace. The role of HR manager is to organise a meeting with all the

Task 3:
3.1 Preparing project plan and establish the project organisation
Sraymax project must keep this mind that to carry out the project plan they must maintain strong
plan backed up by contingency plan, so that when Sraymax project face problem they can
implement those ideas to stabilise their business structures. The projects plans are described as
follows such as chalking down the primary planning that regulates the business process(Driskell,
2017). Making the involvement of expertise from each department of project process, assignment
or dividing the task according to the departments to minimise the threats that may occur. And
avoid the conflict among employees regarding job roles assigned to them. This process involves
setting up key target such as capital, employees, analysing the risk, testing the programme in
ground reality before executing it on project task. Analysing the risk factors for Sraymax project
and drawing out conclusion for eliminating the threat from the project task. Documentation of all
work-related documents such as report, planning chart, blueprint and task action plan(Kerzner,
2017). The project management requires all this steps and procedures so that if anything happens
then Sraymax project must be ready with backup plan to control the situation and maintain the
smooth flow of operations. Hence it is essential for Sraymax project to maintain the timeframe
properly and monitor the situations to take corrective measure when needed.
18

Figure 3: Project plan
Source:(Brewster & Hegewisch, 2017)
The project management follows some patterns in their organisations such as project
management, portfolio management, programme management, project context and project office.
To carry out the project plan in a systematic and effective way the project follows certain plans
such as technical information system, software and hardware purchase, installation of hardware
and wiring, software development and training to minimise the time frame and gain the desired
output within limited time period and cut down the cost of company such as operating cost and
other expenses.
Scope: the project scope is to renovate the existing industrial buildings into the college buildings in manner to
allow the college students to have better and enhanced education services.
Resources: For the successful deployment of this project we will need human resources as well as the
materials those are considerable for renovating the industrial buildings into college buildings

Communication: Since, the project will be lasting for a long period once it gets started and
hence, monthly meeting will be best suited for every stakeholder to gather at a single venue and
raise the issues, problems, and other concerns related to the project. Every stakeholder will
supposed to bring their project growth and development report in manner to tally them with
others to identify what are the lagging and leading factors of the project and what amendments
are necessary for the project to be accomplished within the expected schedule and budget
Risks:
Big projects are always vulnerable to uncertainties and hence, the probability of the risk
occurrence is higher those can be listed as follows:
 Timeline escalation
 Cost escalation
 Resource lagging
 Ineffective management
 Improper communication
 Zero output or project failure
 Accidents
 Dust
 Natural calamities
 Transportation facilities

3.2 Apply project scheduling, estimating and cost control techniques
Before stepping into project Sraymax project needs to schedule properly the monetary prospect
with calculating the estimated time frame that may be required to carry out the project
management task for Sraymax project. The capital factor in the project will decide the numbers
of employees required, machinery required and supplier’s role in the business
operations(Martens & Vanhoucke, 2017). Perceive the future goals by setting out the present
objectives and fixed their targets weekly or monthly basis. Separating the targets according to
their size such as small, medium, and large and focusing on each and every targets specifically to
achieve their set targets within limited timeframe such as maintaining records, growth rate data,
improving precision, and identifying alternative solutions. Discussing all the decisions with its
stakeholders, shareholders and its business partners and understanding their needs and modifying
the project if it is needed. And finally analysing each and every process and coming out with a
solution to modify the project and generate profits for long-term(Tereso, et al., 2017). Time is
the most important factor in project management for Sraymax project if they fail to identify each
task according to their impact on the organisations and fail to utilise their financial part then the
project might collapse or it may extend for longer period of time. In both of the cases the
management of Sraymax project has suffer the worst.
