1. INTRODUCTION
The management of construction project demands specialized proficiency and knowledge of
handling project management tasks. Construction is an area which requires more experience to
handle teams of diverse nature to meet the required objectives ("Construction Project
Management 101", 2018). In this technology oriented world effective technologies have paved
way for easing the difficulties of construction projects. Similarly, the complexities of
construction management are resolved by various helpful methods and tools, such as Microsoft
project management and so on. The construction management not just focuses on the tasks to
be completed, instead it also gives importance for quality, contract administration and safety
management apart from the other basic factors. Further, communication and effectively
utilizing the available resources by the defined scope, budget and schedule has a significant role
in construction management (Maria Delos Santos, 2017).
Project Management can be defined as an art that effectively directs and helps in coordinating
with diverse people and material resources ("Project Management for Construction:
Construction Planning", 2018). However, to help the project managers the Microsoft project
software is used widely in the construction field. It has features that help in managing the
material resources and human resources effectively ("Project Management for Construction:
Labor, Material and Equipment Utilization", 2018). On the other hand it helps to accomplish the
required project on time and helps to have a track of all the tasks to be completed throughout
the project (Hendrickson & Au, 2008).
1.1 Project Aim
This project aims to provide a clear understanding of the process to be undertaken in the
construction of the building. The relative timing to complete the project, relationship between
the information flows and the specialist trade packages is also the purpose of this aim.
1.2 Objectives
This project’s objectives are listed below:
i. To collect information of the programme.
ii. To design the IDEF0 process map based on the collected information flow.
iii. To determine the required time, for the successful completion of the project.
iv. To assess the effectiveness of Microsoft project software, and
v. To determine the critical appraisals related to the implementation of 4D BIM
tool, Microsoft project software and ADePT methodology.

1.3 Background of the Project
This project revolves around the construction of a 50-storey tower i.e., built off of a three-
storey podium deck in a city center location. It is basements at two levels. The building’s central
core is a concrete construction. It is to be built in front of the floor slabs. The jump form,
central tower crane, floor slabs all have a significant role in the construction. The complete
construction of the building has reinforced concrete. This is a huge project and required many
people to work on designing and on project management. If the design is not understood
clearly it can create misunderstandings between the contractors and the managers. The
misunderstanding can have negative impact on the management of the work, then on cost and
time of the project ("Project Management 101 for Commercial Concrete Polishing Contractors",
2018).
The following are the activities of this project, in a sequence:
1) Lifting the screens.
2) Reinforcing and column formation.
3) Position forming aimed at the band and perimeter beams.
4) Beam formation.
5) Metal deck positioning.
6) Reinforcing and cable stressing process.
7) Concrete floor slab execution.
This project’s construction management contains the following specialty trade packages- Core,
framework, reinforcement, stressing, concrete, screens and crane. The selected specialty trade
package for this project is, “Reinforcement.” The reinforced concrete is a modern material used
in construction of buildings. It has the capacity to be molded into the desired shape ("What is
reinforcement in construction - Basic Civil Engineering", 2018).
It is observed that there exists difficulty in clearly understanding process to be undertaken. This
is resolved by designing an effective process model for the construction of a 50-storey tower or
a building, where the relative timing to complete the project, relationship between the
information flows and the specialist trade packages will be determined. Further, this report also
aims to determine the advantages and barriers of 4D BIM tool, Microsoft project software and
ADePT methodology’s implementation.
For this project, it is recommended to use 4D BIM design tool and ADePT methodology for
successfully completing the project on time. On the other hand, this project also ensures to
concentrate on the quality, contract administration and safety management along with the
other important factors ("Construction Management - Basthatfield", 2018).

1.4 Project Overview
This section of the report emphasizes on the structure of the whole report. The report’s initial
section presents the focal point like aim, objectives and background of the study. This section is
the introductory part of the whole project.
The second section explores the selected specialist trade package and signifies the purpose and
scope in the construction management process. Further, this section is subdivided with the
information of IDEF0 process map, for the project. The process mapping is basically a business
process model and this model is developed in this part for the selected specialty trade package.
The model is designed based on the gathered information as, information flow.
The third section of the report inspects the implementations of Microsoft Project software, 4D
BIM tool and ADePT methodology in the construction project. The Microsoft Project software is
used for investigating the time constraints, cost and resources required for the project. Gantt
chart and the step-by-step tasks required for the project are determined in this specific part.
However, Microsoft project is also used to concentrate on its critical appraisal and scrutinizes
its competencies to help the project managers, in the construction industry. Additionally, in
construction business the advantages and barriers of 4D BIM tool and ADePT methodology’s
implementation is determined. This section also includes the critical appraisals for Microsoft
Project software.
2. SPECIALIST TRADE PACKAGE
The selected specialist trade package is, reinforcement. In construction, reinforcement is held
responsible for the structure of the building, thus it is the foundation of the building which has
to be monitored effectively. If this goes wrong, then it imposes negative impact on the budget
of the project. The following aspects must be taken care ("Concrete and Aggregate Testing",
2018) (Koutsogiannis, 2018):
1) Follow the design ("Construction Project Management | Coursera", 2018).
2) Ensure to check the constructed bar bindings, to manage the risks.
3) Follow the guideline for reinforcement (Landau, 2018).
4) Ensure right amount of materials are used, with right size, weight and quantity.
5) The reinforcement of column, beam and wall has to be carefully monitored by
the project manager ("Column Reinforcement", 2018).
6) The bending stress must be cross-checked.
7) Tension resistance on the beam must be determined.
8) Length of the bar must be checked.
3

2.1 Purpose
The purpose is to establish an accurate reinforcement to successfully complete the construction
of the building. This ensures to secure the building and to fulfill the scope of the project.
2.2 Scope
This project’s scope is to enhance the construction management with improved techniques and
tools, which results in effective co-ordination and cooperation between the workers, project
managers and sub-contractors. Further, it ensure the following scopes:
 The problem of lifting the screens will be considered and resolved with effective
measures.
 The issues of the processes like, striking and collecting the used materials to pass it to
the next above floor will be controlled.
 The necessary security measures will be included, for the safety of the people working
on the site.
 The risks will be defined.
 The staff will be trained to follow the newly proposed process.
 The inputs of the project manager, subcontractors and workers will be gathered, to
work on improving the process.
 The stressing system will be improved and monitored.
 Improved construction management will be presented.
2.3 Information Flow
Coordination between the workers, project managers and sub-contractors are essential in the
reinforcement process. Project manager and workers for the following process ("What is
reinforcement in construction - Basic Civil Engineering", 2018) ("Column Reinforcement -
Reinforcement Details In Column", 2018):
a) Binding of bars.
b) Bar Notation
c) Steel bar lapping
d) Length of the crank.
e) Covering
f) Stool in reinforcement.
The reinforcement drawing must be completed and designed correctly, if not it can distort the
diameters of the bar and result in wrong reinforcement.

2.4 Process Map
For construction of reinforcement, the easily understood process model is provided in this part
of the report. The IDEF0 mapping method is utilized to denote the activities and functions of
the package ("IDEF0 - Part 1 (understanding it)", 2018). This model delivers clear understanding
of all the necessary processes to be undertaken (Damelio, 2011). The clarity is made possible by
the graphical representation of each process in the model (Introduction to IDEF0/3 for Business
Process Modelling, 2013). The IDEF0 Process Map is depicted in the below figure.

The Microsoft project software helps in resolving the following issues.
 Lifting of screens is scheduled based on the available manpower, to avoid any delay of
the work.
 The striking process is scheduled.
 Collection of used material is monitored, and the same is sent to the above floor next.
 Cleaning process is scheduled, to avoid any mishaps in the site.
 The stressing system is monitored and scheduled.
 The risks are defined.
 The staff are scheduled to provide the required training, to get accustomed to the newly
proposed process.
 The inputs of the project manager, subcontractors and workers have helped in
improving the process.
 Improved construction management is presented.
3.2 Implementation of 4D BIM
3.2.1 Advantages for 4D BIM Implementation
The advantages of implementing the 4D BIM are as follows:
 4D BIM ensures to benefit the users with four dimensional graphical
representation of the building that is designed for construction (Ahmed, Emam &
Farrell, 2014).
 It is an effective design tool which helps the development phase of the plans
along with its schedule.
 It has significant design features which helps to combine the design and
construction.
 It benefits with consistent scheduling and intelligent features.
 It helps to save costs related to rework and scheduling.
3.2.2 Barriers for 4D BIM Implementation
The barriers for the effective implementation of the 4D BIM design tool are listed below:
 The construction project managers lack enough skills to work on the 4D BIM tool.
 The users are not provided with sufficient training.
 Availability of the required software and matching the standards of the industry.
16

 Cost for upgrading the hardware and software at the initial stage can be barrier
too (Hardin & McCool, 2015).
3.3 Implementation of ADePT
3.3.1 Advantages for ADePT Implementation
The advantages of implementing the ADePT are as follows:
 ADePT is mainly is useful before planning stage (Austin, Baldwin, Li & Waskett,
2000).
 ADePT has better change management handling.
 It seizes any limitations related to building’s drawing (Schultz, 2002).
 ADePT supports to manage the building design, helps in decision making, and in
defining the roles.
 It improves project management and helps in prioritizing the work.
3.3.2 Barriers for ADePT Implementation
The barriers for the effective implementation of the ADePT are listed below:
 Complexity to clearly understand the design.
 Delayed construction.
 Highly expensive
