Unit Learning Outcomes

LO3 Discuss the key stages in a construction project, and how Building Information Modelling informs the different stages.

LO4 Analyse how the construction industry has developed suitable collaboration strategies in support of greater recognition of health and safety.

Submission Format

You are to submit an A4 word-processed document. The choice of font face, font size and line spacing are left to your discretion. However, as a professional report, clarity and readability are critically important. You are encouraged to use diagrams and graphics to help to explain the topics. Any material (images, drawings, diagrams, text) that is derived from other sources must be referenced using a standard form of citation (Harvard Referencing System).

The recommended word limit is 4,000–5,000 words but you will not be penalised for exceeding the total word limit. Keep in mind that being clear and succinct are key features of professional documents.

DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR WORK AS A PDF – Word documents only.

Use of images/illustration:

Support your work where applicable with appropriate image/diagrams. These should be clearly presented with a clear reference to source.

Submission: All work will be submitted as a hard copy by hand and via electronic submission on-line – details can be found on Moodle. Any analytical work done on paper does not need to be typed, instead scan your work and combine it with the rest of your work into one document.

Assignment Brief and Guidance

You have been working for a small family-owned construction company but under new management there is a desire to begin to undertake larger scale construction projects. As the company is about take on larger projects there is an increasing demand from clients for your company to work with and to use Building Information Modelling (BIM) on the construction projects. The management team has asked you to prepare a report on the key stages in a construction project, benefits of BIM on construction and operations and to evaluate the impact of health and safety legislation within construction.

TASK

1.You are asked to identify with examples modern construction processes and sequences used within today’s industry, highlighting the way they respond to sustainability needs, identify where BIM will impact upon operations and construction companies and explain the contract planning techniques used within micro and macro projects. You should analyse how construction has developed in terms of innovation, designs and within contracts for micro and macro projects, and the interrelationship with BIM and provide a detail analysis of how the construction industry has evolved in terms of innovative construction methods and contract.

2. Demonstrate how construction industry has benefitted from changes in health and safety legislation. This should identify the major pieces of health and safety legislation which impact on construction projects, explain how health and safety is now integrated part of a construction process and discuss how collaboration and communication are vital in ensuring a safe working environment. You should evaluate the impact of health and safety legislation, how it has evolved, the drivers for it and what you see as the advantages and disadvantages within construction
