Question 1The site establishment plan must be designed according to the dimensions of the siteThe length of the site=18500+87025+1275+150+11400+4000+5000=127350mmThe width of the site=73200mmTherefore, the area to be enclosed during the works=73200*127350=9322.02 square metersAs descried, a construction establishment plan should have an indication of the earthworks, building and plants, accommodation etc. For our site establishment plan, the accommodation should have a capacity of at least 30 people.Accomodation is the responsibility of the contractor.The area to be covered by the earthworks (as described by the final building plans) =the area occupied by the office and factory buildings.The space occupied by the offices and factory: width=73200-(12800+2000+2000) =56400.mm56400 is the width of both the buildings and hence, the width of one building =28200mmOn the other hand, the length of the buildings=87025-(18500+11400+4000+5000) =48125mmThe area of the earthwork for the establishment of one of the buildings=48125*28200=1357.125 square meters. Therefore, the total area under construction =2714.25 square meters.Furthermore, the area remaining for the equipment and accommodation of the workers=9322.02-2714.25=6607.77square meters.The area required for accommodation (assumption) =1000 square meters. The length and width of the structure can be taken as 33.33meters and 30meters respectively.
However, when designing this site establishment plan, other factors that need to be considered include, the environment, supply services, the public among others. All these will be illustrated in our site establishment plan.Other factors to be described in the site establishment plan, besides the building sites and accommodation facilities, include the footpaths, office buildings, boundary wall, emergency exits, building access etcHowever,all these structures need to align themselves with the layout of the land and as such, the contour levels will be significant in the design. On some extreme measures, some sites require levelling before the actual establishment plan is designed. All these factors may be illustrated in our site establishment plan.Question 2As stated in the description, an organizational chart displays the interrelationship between all members of staff as well as the hierarchical order at the company/organization. As with, our organization, these are the different members:• Construction manager• Construction supervisors (2)• Site managers (6)• Estimator (1)• Cadet estimator (1)• Contracts/material supply officer• Office managerHowever, the company has been described to have 6 project at an instance within a budget of $2 million to $5 million.
Working on the least amount of money that can be disbursed to the company for 6 projects=$2 million.This money may be distributed evenly over the 6 projects and as such=$2/6=333333 distributed to each project.However,this is not the case and as such, some projects may get as little as 200000 while others may get as high as $500000Working on the highest amount of money that can be paid to the company for the construction works=$5 million. This amount can be distributed evenly over the 6 projects such as 5/6=$833333for each project. However, this is not the case and as such some projects may get very little amounts while others may be allocated humongous ones.The construction manager is basically the head of all the construction works ongoing at all the 6 projects.At a lower rank than is the construction supervisor. As in our case there are only 2 construction supervisors and as such, each is required to manage 3 projects. Each construction supervisor should be allocated 3 site managers. The three supervisors are to report to the construction supervisor who is to report to the construction manager.Finally, the other members of the organization who include estimator, office manager, cadet estimator, and contracts/material supply officer are all directly under the construction manager. These members of staff are required to work under the main office and to provide services to all the 6 projects. The estimator and the cadet estimator ensure that they estimate the amount of allocation to each project while the contracts/material officer ensures that each project CONSTRUCTION MANAGER
