1.INTRODUCTIONThe management of construction project demands specialized proficiency and knowledge ofhandling project management tasks. Construction is an area which requires more experience tohandle teams of diverse nature to meet the required objectives ("Construction ProjectManagement 101", 2018). In this technology oriented world effective technologies have pavedway for easing the difficulties of construction projects. Similarly, the complexities ofconstruction management are resolved by various helpful methods and tools, such as Microsoftproject management and so on. The construction management not just focuses on the tasks tobe completed, instead it also gives importance for quality, contract administration and safetymanagement apart from the other basic factors. Further, communication and effectivelyutilizing the available resources by the defined scope, budget and schedule has a significant rolein construction management (Maria Delos Santos, 2017). Project Management can be defined as an art that effectively directs and helps in coordinatingwith diverse people and material resources ("Project Management for Construction:Construction Planning", 2018). However, to help the project managers the Microsoft projectsoftware is used widely in the construction field. It has features that help in managing thematerial resources and human resources effectively ("Project Management for Construction:Labor, Material and Equipment Utilization", 2018). On the other hand it helps to accomplish therequired project on time and helps to have a track of all the tasks to be completed throughoutthe project (Hendrickson & Au, 2008).1.1Project Aim This project aims to provide a clear understanding of the process to be undertaken in theconstruction of the building. The relative timing to complete the project, relationship betweenthe information flows and the specialist trade packages is also the purpose of this aim.1.2ObjectivesThis 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 BIMtool, Microsoft project software and ADePT methodology.1
1.3Background of the ProjectThis 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 centralcore 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 completeconstruction of the building has reinforced concrete. This is a huge project and required manypeople to work on designing and on project management. If the design is not understoodclearly it can create misunderstandings between the contractors and the managers. Themisunderstanding can have negative impact on the management of the work, then on cost andtime 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 tradepackage for this project is, “Reinforcement.” The reinforced concrete is a modern material usedin construction of buildings. It has the capacity to be molded into the desired shape ("What isreinforcement in construction - Basic Civil Engineering", 2018).It is observed that there exists difficulty in clearly understanding process to be undertaken. Thisis resolved by designing an effective process model for the construction of a 50-storey tower ora building, where the relative timing to complete the project, relationship between theinformation flows and the specialist trade packages will be determined. Further, this report alsoaims to determine the advantages and barriers of 4D BIM tool, Microsoft project software andADePT methodology’s implementation.For this project, it is recommendedto use 4D BIM design tool and ADePT methodology forsuccessfully completing the project on time. On the other hand, this project also ensures toconcentrate on the quality, contract administration and safety management along with theother important factors ("Construction Management - Basthatfield", 2018). 2
1.4Project Overview This section of the report emphasizes on the structure of the whole report. The report’s initialsection presents the focal point like aim, objectives and background of the study. This section isthe introductory part of the whole project.The second section explores the selected specialist trade package and signifies the purpose andscope in the construction management process. Further, this section is subdivided with theinformation of IDEF0 process map, for the project. The process mapping is basically a businessprocess 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, 4DBIM tool and ADePT methodology in the construction project. The Microsoft Project software isused for investigating the time constraints, cost and resources required for the project. Ganttchart 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 scrutinizesits competencies to help the project managers, in the construction industry. Additionally, inconstruction business the advantages and barriers of 4D BIM tool and ADePT methodology’simplementation is determined. This section also includes the critical appraisals for MicrosoftProject software. 2.SPECIALIST TRADE PACKAGEThe selected specialist trade package is, reinforcement. In construction, reinforcement is heldresponsible for the structure of the building, thus it is the foundation of the building which hasto be monitored effectively. If this goes wrong, then it imposes negative impact on the budgetof 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 bythe 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
2.1PurposeThe purpose is to establish an accurate reinforcement to successfully complete the constructionof the building. This ensures to secure the building and to fulfill the scope of the project. 2.2ScopeThis project’s scope is to enhance the construction management with improved techniques andtools, which results in effective co-ordination and cooperation between the workers, projectmanagers and sub-contractors. Further, it ensure the following scopes:The problem of lifting the screens will be considered and resolved with effectivemeasures. The issues of the processes like, striking and collecting the used materials to pass it tothe next above floor will be controlled.The necessary security measures will be included, for the safety of the people workingon 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, towork on improving the process.The stressing system will be improved and monitored. Improved construction management will be presented.2.3Information Flow Coordination between the workers, project managers and sub-contractors are essential in thereinforcement process. Project manager and workers for the following process ("What isreinforcement in construction - Basic Civil Engineering", 2018) ("Column Reinforcement -Reinforcement Details In Column", 2018): a)Binding of bars.b)Bar Notationc)Steel bar lappingd)Length of the crank.e)Coveringf)Stool in reinforcement.The reinforcement drawing must be completed and designed correctly, if not it can distort thediameters of the bar and result in wrong reinforcement.4
