Group Project on Construction: Reusing Demolition Site Materials

This project is a comprehensive group assignment focused on the reuse of materials from building demolition sites. It begins with an introduction to the project's objectives, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and resource optimization in the construction industry. The assignment is structured into four main tasks. Task 1 involves a thorough evaluation of individual and team skills through skill auditing and review, the development of detailed role descriptions and responsibilities for each team member (project manager, team leader, resource manager, and customer service manager), and a discussion on role allocation. Task 2 focuses on the creation of a detailed project plan, including resource and time planning, the identification of project milestones, and the assessment of potential risks. Task 3 delves into the practical aspects of construction, including construction specifications, cost planning, pre-construction health and safety measures and risk assessments, and an evaluation of how BIM models can be used in collaborative tender documentation. Finally, Task 4 involves a continual review of the team's work, an evaluation of working practices, and a critical assessment of the project's success. The assignment demonstrates how to manage roles and responsibilities within a team, and the roles of a project manager. The document provides an overview of the project, including a table of contents, introduction, task breakdowns, and conclusion, and also includes a reference list. This assignment is a great resource for students studying construction, project management, and sustainability.

INTRODUCTION
A group assignment provides opportunity to people to enhance their skills and knowledge,
by making interaction and working in collaboration with others. In contrast with individual work,
engaging in group, also aid members to overcome from weakness and gain perspective of each
other to make project with more efficiency (Kabirifar and Mojtahedi, 2019). Under present
assignment, an elaboration of such a project which is made on “Reusing materials in building
demolition sites” is demonstrated. To conduct research on one of the field of construction, the
main reason is to optimize resources and maintain capital, if materials of demolishing sites can
be used for building new site. This would aid in analysing how waste debris can be utilized for
constructing new sites, with enhancing knowledge in the same field about new technology,
development and maintenance of sustainability etc. (Popkova and et. al., 2018).
On this group-project, four members have been work as team-leader, project-manager,
resource-manager and customer service manager. A description is made in this assignment on
entire roles and responsibilities of four members, including key specification of their personality
and skill profile. Along with this, construction based project plan is developed with illustration of
resource and time planning. Furthermore, critical evaluation is also done to evaluate contribution
of each team member in successfully completion of project.
TASK 1
1.1 Evaluate own skills and the skills of others through skills auditing and review.
The current project of construction includes several roles performed by the team members
who have strong presence in the success of the project effectively. As being project manager it is
highly important for me to evaluate my own role as well as the role of the team members
included in the same (Taofeeq, Adeleke and Hassan, 2019). In this skill construction project, I
perform the role of project manager whereas other three companion of mine performs the role of
Team leader, Resource management (Organising waste storage and materials storage) and
Customer service. Skill auditing as well as the review of four of our skills has been mentioned
below one after another effectively.

Skill audit review of my own
As per the information specified in my own skill audit, it has been realised by me that as
being the project manager I have to perform management role in the construction project of
reusing demolition construction site. This specific role requires effective proficiency in several
skills such as management, communication, problem solving and computer (Erdogan,
Šaparauskas and Turskis, 2019). Here, it has been analysed from my personal self skill audit I
have good proficiency in the management skill as from total 5 I have received 4 and 5 stars.
While computer skill of mine is moderate as I received 3 * into the same. On the other hand, if it
is talked about the Communication and Problem solving skills, it can be said that as per my own
viewpoint I quite weaker in that area. Thus, from the overall review of mine regarding the same
it is highly important for me to emphasise on developing communication and problem solving
skills by taking few learning session towards the same. Also, there is the scope of improvement
in the communication skills.

Skill audit review of Team leader
On the basis of the views expressed by the Team Leader himself while personal audit, it
has been analysed that management skill of the team leader is moderate. Whereas, the leadership
skill of the same person is good enough as per the role of the same person (Kimiagari and
Keivanpour, 2019). Communication skills of the team leader is highly effective in both the
verbal, written and non verbal. There is little bit scope of improvement is available in the
problem solving skill team leader has attained 4* in providing unique solutions to the problems
as well as issues faced by the employees. Last but not the least, it has been analysed that the team
leader is self motivated at lower level in terms of cheerful and helpful characteristic (Jackson,
2020). On the other hand while talking about the self initiative taken towards the same it can be
said that the respective team leader is proficient into the same.

The above mentioned skill audits of resource manager shows the overall proficiency
towards the skills. The above mentioned skill shows management skill of the respective manager
is highly strong, whereas skill associated with the computers and other technical terms is low
(Rudolf and Spinler, 2018). Communication skills of the same person is quite modern thus the
respective manager is required to take several initiative towards the same in order to improvise it
effectively with the future scope of success. The problem solving skill is quite fine as they
person has rated himself 4*. At the end, the skill audit has shown that the team leader is also
required to emphasise on improvising their own team working skill as the role of team leader
requires to emphasise on developing strong relationship with the team members so that they can
effectively perform their work with the support of the team member (Okoye, 2018).

Skill audit review of Customer service
This skill audit of the customers’ service manager clearly depicts that overall proficiency
regarding the above specified skills are fine few skills are still required to be modified effectively
so that success can be attained by them in the near future (Rahman and Adnan, 2020). On the
basis of the skill audit, it can be said that management skill of the same manager is fine but still
requires little bit of improvement, whereas if it is talked about the computer skill it is moderate
as the manager has very little command over the same. Apart from this, the communication skill
of the customer service manager is highly strong which is seen as the good factor as the person is
required to tackle its customers at constant basis with the polite manner so that they can maintain
the interest of the client towards them as also maximise their profits with by having strong
relationship with them (Spross, Olsson and Stille, 2018). Problem solving skill and self-
motivated skill is above the moderate level which simply means that the overall efficiency
regarding the same is fine but still it requires some improvement for accomplish their respective
goals and objectives of the department in the appropriate manner. This improvement can be
effectively brought by attending few grooming sessions towards the same

1.2 Develop role descriptions and responsibilities within a team.
The current project is regarding reusing material in building demolitions sites. In order to
perform the work effective for the clients, the respective authorised team leaders have developed
effective role descriptions as well as responsibilities within the team (Wuni, Shen and Mahmud,
2019). These roles as well as responsibilities are specified effectively for each team member are
explained below in rightful manner:
Role and responsibility of management (Project manager)
 The first and foremost role of project manager is to emphasise on planning effectively on
the proposed project so that each and every activity related to the demolition can be
completed within the timely deadline (Yusen and et. al., 2018).
 The next responsibility is hire, supervise and fire employees as per the core requirement
of the project.
 Set goals for the demolition project so that things could get managed in the timely
deadline.
 Execute each and every activity within the budget so that their profit margin does not get
affected.
 Deliver project on the timely deadline to the client in order to maintain their relationships
with them effectively.
 Manage overall project associated risks so that things could get managed in non
supportive time.
Role and responsibility of Team leader
 Delegate work to all the team members according to their working capability
 Manage finances as per the allocation so that it does not cross the budget
 Monitor performance of the team members in order to check out that whether they are
working as per the expectation or not. Also, the team leaders are required to focus on
carrying out appraisals (Borkovskaya, Bardenwerper and Roe, 2018).
 Ensures that the work is completed on time, to a high standard and in line with health and
safety guidelines
 Showing new and inexperienced construction workers how to do the job
 Working with technical drawings and plans.
6

 Set goals for the demolition project so that things could get managed in the timely
deadline.
 Ensuring workers follow company policy and procedures
 Keeps check on the signing off work.
 Briefing your team on targets and providing business updates
Role and responsibility of Resource management (Organising waste storage and materials
storage)
 Resource manager is generally responsible for allocating appropriate resources to several
project managers so that they can utilize it effectively as per their core requirements.
 They are generally required to ensure that the company has adequate capacity of the
resources in order to tackle upcoming projects effectively without any errors (Panova and
Hilletofth, 2018).
 Assigning people to projects based on their skills, previous experience, availability, or
project budget.
 Hiring new people as per the core requirement of the project based on reusing material in
building demolition sites.
 Managing and organising waste storage as well as the materials storage so that things
could get managed effectively without any issues.
Role and responsibility of customer service manager
 Managing clients project requirement and providing solution to their queries in the timely
manner.
 Keeping a record of client’s demolition sites
 Have constant based communication with the internal teams in order to ensure that
requirement of client is meeting as per the core requirements effectively.
 Reporting back on results
 Generating sales leads and developing sustainable relationships with clients and other
associated people wherever it is necessary.
 Managing a large number of incoming calls and emails
7

All of the above specified roles and responsibilities which are required to be performed by
the respective managers within the team who are working collaboratively towards the project of
reusing material in building demolition sites (Kubasova, Tkach and Tsvigun, 2018).
1.3 Discussion on the allocation of roles within a collaborative team to meet overall project
needs.
The current project is highly based on the reusing material in building demolition sites.
This project requires lots of people to work collaboratively to work with one another so that the
overall project deadline could get managed and output regarding the same can be accomplished
effectively. In order to do so effectively, it is highly important for the respective leaders to focus
on allocating roles within the team members effectively so that they can easily develop their core
understanding over the project and could also find out best way to execute their work
accordingly (Sutrisna and Goulding, 2019). Allocation of role of each team member is highly
important as it provides guidance to each team member about the expectation of their superiors
from them. Thus, these people are effectively performing the same work in rightful manner. As a
result, they are also able to meet core requirements of the project in the rightful manner. With
reference to the current project, conducted on reusing material in building demolition sites, it can
be said that the project cannot be executed with the efforts of the single person therefore, the
overall work is being divided among the team members accordingly so that it could get finished
within the available timeframe (Blanc, 2018). Here, the main need of the current project is to
utilise the available material at maximum level that have been developed with the usage of the
overall demolished construction site. Apart from this, it can be further said that the development
of the effective roles and responsibilities criteria for the employees clearly ensures that they with
effective team support and collaborative working practices it seriously becomes easier for the
project lead to accomplish project outcome in quicker manner as the core needs of the project
have been accomplished effectively with the hard work of the whole team or the group member
placed for the single work (Kubasova, Tkach and Tsvigun, 2018).

1.4 Justification on the allocation of roles and responsibilities within a team, with recognising
individual skills and ambitions vs project requirements.
Allocation of the roles and responsibilities within the team is acknowledged as the main
thing in every project as it contributes in its completion within the available project deadline.
These allocations of the work are done effectively among the team members as per their core
specialization, their individual skills, ambitions as well as core project managements (Panova,
and Hilletofth, 2018). With reference to current project allocation of the roles and responsibilities
among them are effectively done by simply analysing the core developing the understanding on
each team members.
For customer service manager it can be said that the person is having strong
communication skill along with the command over several languages so that they can effectively
communicate to the customers and develop effective relationship with them. This development
of the relationship with the client would definitely help the person in accomplishing their
respective project role in rightful manner (Borkovskaya, Bardenwerper and Roe, 2018). Also,
strong relationship with the customers or client is also acknowledged as the core requirement of
the project which can be effectively met by simply allocating role of developing strong
relationship with the client and meeting their requirements’ in the timely manner.
Apart from this, the next allocated role for the current project is optimum utilisation of
the available resources in order to execute whole work related to the project in the timely
manner. With reference to the current project, it can be said that the respected resource manager
is here allocated with the role of organising waste storage and materials storage in such a manner
that could provide maximum benefits to the entity in rightful manner (Yusen, Bondaletova,
Kovalev and Komrakov, 2018). Here, it can be further said that by allocating role of this, the
resource manager would ensure that their whole team would focus on making use or reusing
material in building demolition sites. This would directly reduce their overall project cost and
also contribute in maximizing their benefits in the rightful manner. This simply contributes in the
fulfilment of the project requirement effectively.
Allocation of the team leaders’ role has been done on the basis of their core
characteristics that mean having strong leadership skills and self confidence. This is so because,
if the leader would be the most responsible and self confident then there would have been huge
9

chances that they won’t be able to influence interest of the team members towards them and
accomplish the project outcome in the timely manner (Wuni, Shen and Mahmud, 2019).
Along with this, allocation of the project management’s skills could be effectively done
by simply allocating the role of strong management work towards the project. It can be said that
this kind of role is highly important for the project manager as they are already having strong
experience associated with the management skills with which they can handle all the staff at the
same time and ensure that how they can accomplish their assigned roles in the quicker manner
(Spross, Olsson and Stille, 2018). This directly contributes in the overall accomplishment of the
project based on reusing material in building demolition sites. This allocation of the role is
effectively done by simply evaluating individuals core skills thus they are easily able to meet up
actual project requirements in quicker manner.
TASK 2
2.1 A project plan to ensure successful achievement of completed project
To make a project on “Reusing materials in building demolition sites”, which is one of
the wide concept in construction field that helps in maintaining sustainability, it is essential to
prepare a proper plan first. For this purpose, Project Management Plan (PMP) technique is
utilised for creating a thorough plan, which refers to a most important step in this process
(Renault, Agumba and Ansary, 2018). It outlines the entire course of work and activities for each
team member, which needs to completed properly while keeping triple constraint of scope of
work, schedule period and budget of cost in mind. Project plans also describe overall processes
which will bring proposal to life. Delivering on a project can be made much easier through use of
a project planning software.
In this regard, to work on present project which is based on re-usage of demolished
materials in construction of new sites, first main step is to frame project aims and objectives,
which will help in analyzing what type of information needs to be covered for reaching resulting
outcomes (Sutrisna and Goulding, 2019). In this regard, aims and objectives on construction
10

topic are framed by project manager through taking suggestions of other three group-members in
following manner –
Project aims and objectives –
Aim: “To investigate the advantages of reusing demolition materials for construction sites.”
Objectives:
 To examine the notion of demolition materials and their usage in construction sites.
 To identify the risks in modern construction.
 To determine the ways through which the risks in modern construction can be reduced.
 To acknowledge the advantages of reusing demolition materials for construction sites.
Scope of Project –
After framing aims and objectives of project, second main step is to determine what is
scope of project, that entails if resulting could prove beneficial, so that modification can be done
in the same. To conduct present project within team of four members, construction field has been
chosen, where to optimize resources and maintain capital, if materials of demolishing sites can
be used for building new site (Wuni and Shen, 2019). This would aid in analysing how waste
debris can be utilized for constructing new sites, with enhancing knowledge in the same field
about new technology, development and maintenance of sustainability etc. The construction and
demolition industries are considered as two main sectors, whose work is interlinked and
interdependent with each other, as the quantities of destruction waste mostly depends on quality
and volume of materials, which can be used for building new site. Along with this, reusing
demolition or waste materials at construction site would help in prevention of environmental
impacts via reducing the requirement for extraction of virgin natural resources. Along with this,
it saves forests and natural areas including new site from further degradation. Careful demolition
also helps in this regard, for maximizing the reusing value of materials, importantly with
assurance to use again, upgrade the quality and sustainability of construction (Levner and
Ptuskin, 2018). So, working on this project will prove beneficial for team-members to develop
their knowledge in construction field, including type of modern technologies and risk associated
with the same, for maintenance of environmental sustainability.
Communication:
11

This step of PMP plan demonstrates importance of setting communication procedure
among team-members, for making interaction and transferring information timely with each
other. For this purpose, mobile phones have been used, which helps all four members of team to
make discussion with each other about what have been achieved, what has been left etc. This
would also help them to consult with each other for resolving any issue, if during completion of
an activity problem persists (Spendlove, 2018). Along with this, timely interaction with each
other also help in reducing chance of conflicts, as well as enhancing efficiency of work to meet
project deadline.
Project Deliverables –
This part entails key deliverables of the project in the form of tangible or intangible item
after completion. In context with present study, deliverables will include both soft and hand copy
of project work based on effective demolished materials that could be used for construction of
new site (Cronk and et. al., 2019). It includes tender documentations which consists entire
information which is gathered, analysed and interpreted by using both primary and secondary
sources.
2.2 Resource and Time planning
Having a plan for project before conducting a study, doesn’t mean that makers should have
only listed the tasks, which needs to complete and deliver the result. In fact, planning any
assignment also includes key concepts about determining the resources which are required for
completion each and every activity in defined way (Rezvani and Khosravi, 2018). The kick-off
phase, in this regard, create a project scope, demonstrating the deliverables including
dependencies, which allows project makers to better estimate budget and time requires for
completion of whole study. Resource and time planning therefore, is not new or different subject,
it helps project manager and entire team for aligning deliverables of project with available
resources. Because without it, they can’t get control on maintaining efficiency and meeting
deadline of project, not even deliver the result within set timeline and cost budget (Sepasgozar
and et. al., 2018). Therefore, for present group assignment, resources which are required to
conduct each and every includes sufficient amount of funds (near about 350k), hardware
12

components (like pen drive for saving information), mobile phones for making communications
and more. While for completion all set activities like framing aims and objectives, choosing
research methodologies, gathering information from many sources and more, has taken almost
10 weeks.
2.3 Milestones and risks of project plan
After making project management plan, time and resources planning etc. another main step
which is crucial for maintaining efficiency of work, is identifying milestone and risk of project
plan (Hidalgo-Bastidas and Boelens, 2019). For this purpose, a number of techniques can be
utilised like Gantt Chart, which helps in scheduling time period for each activity, so that deadline
can be met. In this regard, for present project, milestones could be achieved in following way –

Risk of project –
15

Another main part outline in PMP plan includes risk analysis, which entails type of risks
involved in the project, so that strategies can be made accordingly for enhancing efficiency. In
context with present project, problems that may arise risk in carrying out different-different
activities includes is conflict among team members (Renault, Agumba and Ansary, 2018). If they
do not satisfy with each other decision and perception, then it may raise issues in terms of
mismanagement and way of working together. Along with this, it also effects entire set schedule
and duration of each activity highly in negative manner, that ultimately impact on project
outcomes as well. Furthermore, financial risk is one of the major issue in project management,
because this type of risk is mainly associated with the funding associated errors that include
unavailability of funds (Wuni and Shen, 2019). This simply means that the client has not
provided appropriate amount of fund within the timely manner that directly becomes major risk
for the execution of the construction project related activities in the timely manner. Environment
of the construction site can be seen as the most vulnerable one as it includes infectious diseases
as well as viruses. Therefore, observing the sites while gathering primary information about
debris or waste materials of demolishing buildings, there are probable chances that accidents
might take place at the construction site due to any kind of carelessness of project workers. It is
highly important for the project head to focus on determining several constructions associated
failure so that health associated risk can be avoided in the timely manner (Hidalgo-Bastidas and
Boelens, 2019). It can be said that if any sort of mishappening takes place within the construction
sector then it results in accidents, safety failures, may lead to surgeries, which is the other health
risk category for construction projects.
TASK 3
3.1 Construction work and required specification
Working on this project, it has been analysed that as construction industry contains range
of hazardous undertaking work, which is consisted of several types of the risk that might occur
due to uncertain situation or event that might occur at the time of executing demolition work. It
has been analysed that the problem related to the construction might place adverse impact over
the project deadline (Alotaibi, 2018). Along with this, risk develops due to the demolition in the
modern construction practices directly puts negative impact over the objectives of the project.
16

Apart from this, it can be further said that the construction risks associated with the demolition of
the construction site includes several consequences that might develop due to decision making
process because of the planning situation (Adeleke, Bahaudin and Kamaruddeen, 2018). Also,
there is the lack of predictability influences overall structural outcome of the project. It has been
further realized that the most common and well known risks associated with the construction can
be seen in several forms. Some of the main among are finances related risks, delivering
scheduling, health and safety associated issues. Here, at the initial stage preliminary
classification of the risk belonging to the construction are bifurcated into two sections that is
human based risks and natural risks (Taofeeq, Adeleke and Lee, 2019). It has been analysed that
human based risks generally occurs due to the activities which are being organised by the human
systems whereas if it is talked about the natural risks then they are just out of the reach from the
human beings.
Some of the construction drawings and pictures that are being taken into consideration
based on the aims and objectives are presented underneath:

3.2 Preparation of a cost plan
Cost plan- The Cost Planning is a strategy for cost controlling the expense of a venture
inside a pre-decided summarize to the delicate stage. Cost Planning offer guidance to project
manager how much will be venture cost (Lieb, 2018). Too, cost arranging will prompt when the
normal costs will most conceivable happen. Subsequently it's significant for get required
undertaking fund and for deciding conceivable task benefit. Consequently, cost arranging
process basic to achievement of undertakings likes a construction projects and so on. This can be
defined as a form of document that consists detailed information about possible expense which
may occur in performing a range of activities and operations (Levner and Ptuskin, 2018). It is
essential for managers to prepare a cost plan so that they can allocate funds accordingly. In the
absence of an effective cost plan this may become difficult for managers to control overall
expenses. In regards with given project of reusing construction materials for demolition sites, it
is necessary to produce a detailed cost plan so that managers can an idea of expected cost and
can produce budget accordingly (Beltrão and Carvalho, 2019). Herein, below a cost sheet is
prepared that is as follows:

Total cost 9700
Working Note:
Labour for destroying building or construction site*
= Number of labour*rate
= 50*20
= 1000 pounds
21

Considering the above cost plan, it can easily be said that labour cost for destroying building and
reconstruction of the site will be thousand pounds (Deng and et. al., 2018). This is considered to
be the labour cost that will be employed by project manager considering all the legislations
developed by government and following all the rules and regulations linking to the employment
related rules and policies. Therefore, the fair amount it is going to be delivered to all the
labourers that are specifically working on the project.
Transportation cost*
= Number of vehicle*rate
= 20*5
= 100 pounds
The transportation cost is specifically being presented considering the hypothetical cost plan
where 20 numbers of transportation vehicles will be utilised and it will be going to cost around
100 pounds and it will be considered focusing on working hours.
Labour cost*
= Number of labour*rate
= 50*15
= 750 Pounds
Considering the above calculation, the labour cost will be 750 pounds, where the number of 50
labourers will be working (Moore and Reynolds, 2018). On the other hand, based on the situation
cost which has been computed can vary as well.
3.3 A pre-construction health & safety method and risk assessment statement
Pre-construction health and safety plan:
Wellbeing, Safety and Welfare Objectives:
The Client, Advisors and the project manager accepted that Health and Safety Management
is the way in to the objectives (Sánchez-Silva, 2019). Contractual worker offering types of
assistance which are, so far as is sensibly practicable, liberated from dangers to representatives,
sub-contractual workers, general open and other people who might be influenced by their
activities. In that capacity they should intend to build, finish and look after performing different
range of tasks:
22

 inside determined periods
 as per structures and particulars
 Having due respect to government assistance of staff
 Without putting anybody at critical hazard
Construction Project Arrangements:
Management
The Health and Safety the board structure must be unmistakably spread out. Duties of the
task group must be definite in the construction company's Wellbeing and Safety policy which
has been developed considering a particular pre-construction health & safety method (Liao and
Teo, 2019).
Standards:
In present context, there are a range of health and safety standards specifically being included
within the construction site and in the project as well which has been initiated by project
manager and some of these legislations are presented underneath:
 The Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
 The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999
 The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
 The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
 The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
 The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
 The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (As
 amended)
 The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992
These are said to be some of the crucial health and safety standards that are going to be
implemented and the overall project is also being performed under the guidance of rules and
regulations presented by government other than the rules and regulations mentioned above
(Huang and et. al., 2018).
Selection Procedures:
Appropriate courses of action must be set up to guarantee the capability of all sub-
temporary workers. This will appear as surveys, interviews, assessment of current working
23

practices and assessment of capabilities and experience. Materials and hardware must be
assessed by assessment of providers' data to guarantee wellbeing being used. Preparing and data
ought to be given as vital.
Communication and Co-activities:
All the meetings in relation to site will be delivering sufficient information to all the
workers linking to wellbeing and security matters (Ghisellini, Ripa and Ulgiati, 2018). Co-
activity from all development labourers must be supported by normal 'at work' interview and
inclusion in everyday wellbeing also, security exercises, for example, assessments and audits.
Information and Training for People nearby: Appropriate plans will be made to guarantee that
all development labourers are given wellbeing and security data and preparing applicable to the
task. An agenda will be acquainted with encourage this plan. Such data will include: Method proclamation subtleties Risk evaluation subtleties Permit Systems Relevant Parts of the H and S Plan Project explicit mindfulness preparing
Planning for Monitoring: Compelling observing of the wellbeing and security circumstance all
through the venture are going to be done by: Pro-dynamic investigations, tests and visits to characterized rotas. Review of any misshapenness and exhaustive examinations to guarantee changes in accordance with techniques to forestall repeat Documented investigations as required under the CDM 2015. Monitoring the viability of techniques by normal administration and survey. Appropriate Health Monitoring to be led Monitoring the real execution of sub-temporary workers and exploring against the normal execution from determination courses of action. Examination of wellbeing and security guidelines accomplished against venture targets
and so on.
Any mishaps or perilous events must be accounted: Head Designer/CDM Advisor. This is
notwithstanding legal necessities.
24

Risk assessment statement:
A risk assessment statement can be considered as a crucial technique through which the
project manager can specifically oversee risks or hazardous situations during the hazard
appraisal. A risk assessment statement is an expansion to the hazard appraisal, to support project
manager's arranging and guarantee that there are sufficient assets to complete the undertaking
securely (Nußholz, Rasmussen and Milios, 2019). In the same way, project manager of the
particular construction site that has been taken into consideration under this project will be
considering all the risks and assess them and particularly mark them with green yellow and red
where red was going to be the most hazardous element that may create issues for the team
members while working on the project.
3.4 Evaluation of ways in which BIM model can be used in collaborative preparation of tender
documentation
Advanced BIM models take into account sharing, working together, and forming that paper
drawing sets don't. With cloud-based system, for example, Autodesk's BIM 360, BIM
coordinated effort can flawlessly happen over all controls inside project which has been
undertaken (Tatiya and et. al., 2018). The BIM 360 biological system permits groups to share
venture models and arrange arranging, guaranteeing all structure partners have knowledge into
the task. Cloud system get to likewise permits venture groups to take the workplace to the field.
With applications, for example, Autodesk's BIM 360 instruments, groups can audit drawings and
models nearby and on their cell phones, guaranteeing they approach exceptional undertaking
data different time schedules. Including this, it can also be said that BIM Model specifically
helps in visualising the whole venture during preconstruction, before the scoop hits the ground.
Space-use re-enactments and 3D perceptions permit clients of a project to encounter what the
space will resemble offering the capacity to make changes before development start (Menegaki
and Damigos, 2018). Having a more prominent outline from the earliest starting point limits
costly and tedious changes later. With the help of this it can easily be said that collaborative
preparation of standard documentation can be performed in much effective and in efficient
manner.

TASK 4
4.1 A continual review of own work with recording of project work
While conducting the project, me and all the other team members belonging to different
departments has already made up blueprint and decided a few milestones that were required to be
achieved while continuously performing the different tasks of the whole project which was taken
into consideration. As a project manager, my role was to you specifically manage all the team
members and the tasks considering different policies, rules and regulations which has been
formulated by government and to communicate the information and any sort of upgradation that
was taking place within the project at construction site (van den Berg, Voordijk and Adriaanse,
2020). On the other hand, a continuous review of the own work has helped me in analysing the
different pros and cons of my own in relation to different range of skills that are required to be
improved and the other skills which I have successfully utilised at the time of performing
different range of tasks towards the desired goal which was to analyse the benefits of revitalizing
demolished materials at the construction site.
4.2 Evaluation of own working practices in relation with others
Being the manager of the overall project I can say that I have performed different range of
tasks and carried the major role of managing the different range of activities which were directly
or indirectly linking to the project (Sormunen and Kärki, 2019). The working practice of my own
has also been connected with others like as the project manager I have had to deliver information
to every single group member about their tasks that they will be performing and also I have
given on an off table training as well some context to others while performing project related
activities at construction site. While working with others, collaboration was considered to be
something that was effectively playing important role (Mihai, 2019). This can be understood
with very good example where me and the team member belonging to customer Service
department, where some of the queries which were raised by client the feedback and the
information which was given by client it was specifically being given to me in order to make
modifications based on the requirements of the client. On the other hand, another example can be
taken into consideration of resources manager where he was also delivering information to me
about the storage of organised raw material which was able to be utilised at the construction site
26

that would not only decrease the cost of buying or purchasing raw material but it will also save
time as well (Michael, 2018). This information that was being given by Customer service
department will automatically lead me to take into consideration of next initiatives towards
successfully finishing the project in given time frame.
4.3 Evaluation of own personality profile in relation with working practices
The personality profile that I have managed to perform while working on a particular
project as a project manager I have analysed that roles and responsibilities that I have carried was
particularly important for the whole project because any wrong decision might need the whole
project to go wrong or it may also lead towards enhancing the different costs of the whole project
like raw materials and it also become time-consuming as well (Ali, Ali and Bayyati, 2018). it
was necessary for me to take appropriate decisions considering all the risks and the probability as
well of going through different difficulties while working on project with other team members.
On the other hand, utilisation of democratic leadership style at construction site has helped me
out with ample number of suggestions which also impacted positively on overall performance
level of my own and of the team as well (Crowther, 2018). Including this, it can also be said that
I became helpless among different situations where I had to take right decision in relation to take
into consideration of demolished materials where I can see that the other team members has
helped me out with various suggestions. This resulted into considering appropriate aspects that
may lead the whole project to go through different phases which were both difficult and easy in
much effective and in efficient manner. Away with this, personality development that took place
while performing this project I can effectively say that it will help me out in near future while
performing same sort of tasks because it improved my problem solving skills and decision
making power.
Critical evaluation on success of project
In my knowledge, if I perform personal performance review then I will be giving me and
my team members considering different roles with 10 out of 7.5 rating. Basically, the success of
the project depends on the performance which has been given by the group that has undertaken
the particular project (Hopkinson and et. al., 2018). Being a project manager performing the role
of project manager in the project, I have considered all the functions of a manager like I
27

performed proper planning and controlling, directing the other team members which has
impacted positively on overall productivity of the group. This has helped me and my team
members to specifically reach to the ultimate goal which was to analyse the advantages of
reusing demolition materials for construction sites. If it is critically analysed, then I can say that
there were some of the stages where conflicts took place just because of the different perceptions
of me and my team members. This can be understood with the very good example where I
decided to consider concrete which was already been demolished but it the other members for
asking to take into consideration of new concrete among different areas which were considered
to be the root of the building (Brütting, Senatore and Fivet, 2018). Taking suggestions from other
team members, I can say that it is something that may lead the project to go through different
difficulties in much effective and efficient manner. In the same way, I also considered
suggestions from the group that resulted into effective decisions towards the project on which me
and all the other members were working.
This conflict took place but it also enhanced our understanding towards each other where I
actually understood why the other members were asking to take into consideration of the new
material. On the other hand, I can see that all the members have had their own tasks which was
delegated by me and the other group members based on their and my own capabilities (Phelps,
2018). This resulted into to increase in productivity and helped in completing the project in a
much more successful manner but there was another problem that came in front was the
communication gap between me and the resource management team. Basically, communication
is something which can both make or break a project and in my case I can say that there was a
situation that led the whole project to go through difficulties. Basically, the situation was pretty
much clear that rather than utilising the vocabulary we started taking into consideration of non-
vocabulary communication and this resulted into positive outcomes (Liu and et. al., 2018). Being
as a project manager in the project, I can easily say that the way I was directing other team
members was specifically correct as I have utilised the degraded system where communication
was done with one person only but it was also being seen by other members of the team as well
and this resulted in two enhancement of understanding level within the group in which I was
performing my role as a project manager. However, there were some situation also took place
which I can say that created issues and the reason that came in front was the difference
28

suggestions given by the other members of the group. However, I can say that the overall
performance was very much effective and directly and hands to the chances of falling out much
more favourable outcomes in much effective and in efficient manner.
CONCLUSION
Throughout the whole study, it has been analysed that working on a project especially in a
team, it is essential for each and every person to concern on development of specific skills first.
It includes way to make interaction, ability to influence others, knowledge of topic and more,
where having such skills make them able to work more confidently. By working on this project
which concerns on how to utilise demolished building materials for constructing new sites, it has
been analysed that it helps in prevention of environmental impacts via reducing the requirement
for extraction of virgin natural resources. Along with this, various key concepts like modern
technology which are utilising under construction and demolition Industry, role of Health and
safety regulations in mitigation risk of major accidents, that might arise by using demolished
materials in construction of new sites also have been acknowledged. Furthermore, it has also
been analysed that for working on a project that is based on wide topic of construction, proper
management plan, resource and time planning, with risk assessment is essential. This would help
in carrying out work by taking step-by-step procedure, more easily. Along with this, key
distribution of roles and responsibilities also could be made, once an appropriate project
management plan is set up, with primary goals of study.
