Introduction
Green building can be defined as the practice for increasing the efficiency with which
building and their sites can easily make use of energy, water and various kinds of materials. This
focuses on reducing or minimizing of building impact on human health and environment, by
making use of siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance and removal throughout
complete cycle of life (Ma et al., 2016). In last few years green building movement has gained
huge amount of movement while its origin can be easily traced in the late centuries of nineteen.
The amount of energy consumption has resulted in the ability for viability tenable and
dependency upon the available cost and other kinds of parameters. During the span of time
various architectures, ecologists have resulted in growing of environmental movement and
higher fuel cost where encountered which ultimately resulted in green building movement. The
idea of green building has ultimately resulted in creation of immense kind of importance in the
various kinds of importance in many of developing countries (Kibert, 2016). Green building
focus on fact of reducing of waste and cost of construction. With increase in the concept of
urbanization the natural resources were ultimately used in implementation of green building and
this idea has led to making use of natural resource. The concept of green building is totally based
on three basic rules that is Reduce, Reuse and recycle.
In the coming pages of the report a literature review has been done on green building
which is inclusive of delivery models and various kinds of context. It has ultimately led to
development of methodology for this green building idea. The report also focuses on making use
of methodology from the idea from implementation of green building.

Business Case
The idea of green building is used on large scale for sustainability for large number of
ideas. Sustainability can be defined as a proper concept which focus on economic, social,
institutional and various kinds of concept which are related to economic and environment aspects
of various human society (Zuo & Zhao, 2014). It generally focuses on means for configuration of
civilization and human activity for society and its various kinds of members for its economics for
meeting needs and providing potential for it. It also focuses on preserving of biodiversity and
natural ecosystem for maintaining ideality for a longer period of time. Sustainability also affects
the various levels of an organization which ranges from local neighborhood to the entire kind of
planet (Ye et al., 2015). At present green building can be defined as a one of the rapidly growing
idea in terms of concepts of building and design. Architecture, designers and homeowners have
mostly become infatuated with the various kinds of possibilities of energy saving emphasis. It
also focuses on nature of green building processes.
USGBC stands for United States Green Building Council is considered to be foremost
leader and educator within the idea of green building. USGBC is mainly created for promotion of
design and construction of building which are responsible environmentally, profitable and
providing healthy place for living and work (Olubunmi, Xia & Skitmore, 2016). It is much
focused on providing on providing integrated building industry sectors and leading a proper
market for transformation towards greener kind of construction. The organization is much on
various kinds of trade of associations, architecture and designers and various kinds of individual
for greening in construction industry.

Business case of BDM group
BDM group is a well-known Australian construction organization which is based in
Brisbane Australia. This particular organization includes a large number group of organization
which ranges from BDM construction, BMD industry and lastly empower (Ahmad, Thaheem &
Anwar, 2016). This organization is much focused in building roads and various kinds of bridges
for state government.
Project background
BDM group is mainly associated with building of LEED standard buildings. LEED
stands for leadership in energy and environmental design is nothing but a system which is used
for designing, construction and certification of green buildings. Building are generally classified
as Platinum, silver, Gold varying on number of points which is acquired in six number of
building components that is suitable sites, efficiency of water, various materials and resources,
energy and atmosphere, indoor quality of environment, various design process and innovation
(Olubunmi, Xia & Skitmore, 2016). With this kind of categories there are specific number of
credits which are available for many kinds of subcategories. LEED ratings are rapidly becoming
boasting points for large number of property owners round the globe. It is considered to be
important parameter for property value for LEED certified building skyrocketing.

Project analysis
LEED is mainly used for assistance of success in early kind of adaptation in various
kinds of government agencies (Alias et al., 2015). It is generally considered to be used in various
kinds of LEED based projects which is growing on early basis. There are large number of
characteristics of LEED buildings like
 Site of a building which has a close kind of proximity sensor for various kinds of
commuter rail or bus lanes which is used for reducing pollution and various kinds
of land development which impacts are associated with usage of automobile.
 Establishment of specifications which can be used for maintaining the present
level of water from storm run off or it also decreases the amount of
imperviousness which generally exists during a particular kind of onsite.
 It focuses on the development of a number of site with a minimum amount of
density of area sixty square feet in the acre. Channeling kinds of development
focus on development of urban areas along with existing kind of infrastructure
which protects the green spaces and also preserves the various kinds of natural
habitats and many kinds of resources.
Assumption and constraints
Assumption
Assumption is considered to be an important tool for development of proper risk
management plan (Alias et al. 2015). In project delivery system it is the duty of manager to
identify all the assumption which can be made for successful delivery of project.

Constraints
Constraints can be defined as a limitation which is generally imposed on a project. It can
be in terms of various domains like resources, cost and schedule (Darko et al. 2017). Various
kinds of projects come up with constraint which are mainly identified in the beginning phase of
any project. There are mainly six kind of project constraints namely quality, schedule, resource
and lastly budget (Gibbs, D., & O’Neill, 2015). In general constraint are of two type in project
delivery models like business constraints, technical constraints. Technical constraint in general
provides a limit of choice.
Project scope
Scope of project mainly focus on details of deliverable features of a project. The required
deliverables are mainly derived from the requirements of a project. There are mainly phase of
project scope management that are planning, controlling and lastly closing (Gou & Xie, 2017).
Planning can be defined as an attempt which is made for capturing and defining the work which
is need to be done. While controlling and monitoring process focus on tracking of various kinds
of documents. The last phase is all about closing which focus on auditing of various deliverables
of project and along with it provides an outcome of origin plan of the report.
Scope statement
Scope statement of a project can be defined as an essential of a project. Project managers
makes use of scope statement for providing written confirmation of various outputs of a project
(Green & Haines, 2015). A scope statement is mainly inclusive of following things like proper
justification, description of scope definition, deliverable of a project and lastly any kind of
assumption made in the project.

High level WBS
WBS or work breakdown is considered to mainly manages team work into proper kind of
manageable sections (Huo, Ann & Wu, 2017). WBS is considered to be an important parameter
for understanding the various aspects of project delivery system. WBS has large number of
benefits like defining and organizing of project. The budget of project delivery is generally
placed on the top of work breakdown structure. By providing proper time and cost the schedule
of project and budget can be easily developed.

Literature review
Best practice delivery models
SB TOOL

8PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEM
The SB method is nothing but a framework which is used for rating of suitable
performance on various kinds of building and projects (Gibbs & O’Neill, 2015). It also focuses
on certain number of toolkit which can be used for development of SB tool rating system. This
tool is mainly used by authorized kind of third parties for establishment of adapted SB tool as a
kind of rating system for suiting their own kinds of region and various kinds of building types.

(Source : Gou & Xie, 2017, pp-605)
It is also used by various kinds of owners and managers of large organization for building
portfolios for expressing details of the way in which their suitability requirements for internal
kinds of staff and beneficial materials for large number of competitors (Zuo et al., 2017). The
system generally covers a large number of systematic issues which not only has issues of
sustainability but with green buildings (Yang, Zou & Wang, 2016). SB methods generally takes
into account region specific and site specific related factors which is used for context factors and
which are used for switch off and reducing of certain number of weights and providing details
related to information for all the parties which are available.

Summary related to project topic
With the growth in the influence of green building it is generally considered to be
imperative to various kinds of natural resources industry as it can do a list of thing for
positioning of a product which is being ecofriendly (Roh et al., 2016). Much of the issues mainly
arises from misconception of natural stone which addresses strip mining which is environment
devastating practice. Under the classification of LEED natural stone stands to be in the origin
product. A major kind of issue with green community is the support of local products and
business. LEED points are generally available for large number of products which can be used
for building site. It is manufactured on regional basis and various kinds of materials are extracted
for emittance of greenhouse. SWOT analysis is a method which is used for identification of
strength, weakness, opportunities and various kinds of threats (Li et al., 2014). It gives a scan on
internal and external environmental condition for a particular organization which can be used for
analysing strength or weakness and external issues in the firm can be classified as opportunities
or threats. The strength of green building is LCLL that is low carbon living lab, GBES that is
Unique Green Building Evaluation standard, Strong kind of support from governmental side,
skilled expertise. Low carbon living lab focus on testing bed and demonstration of green building
technologies, practical and low cost kind of environment, provides an excellent opportunity for
organization for tapping into various kinds of world market (Hwang et al., 2015). GBES aims in
