Engineering Management and Project Organization Report

This report provides a comprehensive overview of engineering management and project organization, focusing on the New East London River Crossing project. It begins with a program Gantt chart, illustrating the project timeline, phases, and involved parties based on the RIBA Plan of Works. The report then delves into detailed cost information, including the unit costs of various personnel (e.g., project manager, architect, engineers) and their allocation across different tasks within the work breakdown structure. The cost analysis covers tasks from strategic definition and project briefing to concept design and technical design, providing a breakdown of costs associated with each phase. The document includes tables that show task durations, resource allocation, and associated costs, offering insights into project planning, execution, and financial management. Overall, the report highlights the critical aspects of project management in engineering, including scheduling, resource allocation, and cost control, making it a valuable resource for students studying related subjects.
