Module Learning Outcomes Assessed:

1. Evaluate and appraise the theories and methodologies in project management with particular emphasis in construction.

2. Critically analyse and evaluate time, scope and budgetary techniques to a project and provide an activity-based breakdown of the work using commercial planning software. This includes a critical assessment of the human and physical resource needs.

3. Critically evaluate and develop a project evaluation process and quality management that includes performance evaluation requirements.

4. Critically evaluate and appraise project control processes and mechanism and demonstrate competence at an advanced level in applying the tools, techniques and methodologies of project management to plan, monitor and control both large and small projects in a global context.

5. Evaluate and apply key variables impacting on strategies to managing risks in a construction-related project in a global context.

6. Critically appraise and syntheses information to develop alternative approaches in managing projects based on application of soft system methodology in a global context.

S.A.G. Enterprise, a high profile corporation based in Asia, is opening a new commercial branch in Coventry. S.A.G. Enterprise is considering a joint venture with CMCN Limited; a UK based private company with over 30 of experience in construction development. S.A.G. Enterprise and CMCN Ltd. have a financial commitment of 60% and 40% respectively.

S.A.G. Enterprise, although reasonably experienced with working on large commercial building projects, are challenged with their first large scale international project. On the other hand, CMCN Ltd. have experience working on housing project, have never worked on such large scale commercial projects. The site acquired for this project is located in Warwickshire, 15 minutes drive from Coventry City Centre and near to the M69 motorway but 20 minutes to Coventry Rail station which has direct connection to London. The proposed project has an area of 2000 m2, to develop their new commercial shopping centre. The shopping centre is divided as follows:

· A commercial building of 7 stories. Two stories will be underground and the remaining 5 will be over-ground.

· The 2 sub-levels will be parking lots.

· The first 4 stories will be retail shops.

· The final level will be an open green space.

The site was secured, which is classified as a residential area surrounded by houses and schools. The client is concerned with equipment storage and placement due to low mobility in that area. As well as, concern for delay in supplies due to rush hours between 7:00 – 9:00 am and 4:00 – 6:00 pm.

S.A.G. Enterprise have received the bids and are considering the following options:

Option 1:

· Acquire the services of a local design firm along with a local contractor.

Option 2:

· Acquire the services of an international prestigious firm with high skilled expertise in such projects, along with a local contractor.

S.A.G. Enterprise have identified a potential supplier with a good reputation for quality, and is based in London. The client is interested in achieving the best quality at the lowest price. The project is expected to start on the first of October 2020. The clients are concerned with delays in the project initiation due to cultural barriers, as well as, delays in the construction process due to the expected bad weather in the UK.

An outline scheme has been prepared and plans attached have received approval. The Local Council and Planning Department is supporting the development and have given outline consent and are awaiting details on external finishes.

Your Clients have retained your company as Project Managers (offering a full range of services ranging from Project Management services together with Health and Safety). As a Project Manager your urgent advice and guidance is required for the new build scheme on the followings:

Module Assessment :

Notes:

1. You are expected to use the Coventry University Harvard Referencing Style. For support and advice on this students can contact Centre for Academic Writing (CAW).

2. Please notify your registry course support team and module leader for disability support.

3. Any student requiring an extension or deferral should follow the university process as outlined here.

4. The University cannot take responsibility for any coursework lost or corrupted on disks, laptops or personal computer. Students should therefore regularly back-up any work and are advised to save it on the University system.

5. If there are technical or performance issues that prevent students submitting coursework through the online coursework submission system on the day of a coursework deadline, an appropriate extension to the coursework submission deadline will be agreed. This extension will normally be 24 hours or the next working day if the deadline falls on a Friday or over the weekend period. This will be communicated via your Module Leader.

6. *(ML’s delete if not applying to this assessment) Assignments that are more than 10% over the word limit will result in a deduction of 10% of the mark i.e. a mark of 60% will lead to a reduction of 6% to 54%. The word limit includes quotations, but excludes the bibliography, reference list and tables.

7. You are encouraged to check the originality of your work by using the draft Turnitin links on your Moodle Web.

8. Collusion between students (where sections of your work are similar to the work submitted by other students in this or previous module cohorts) is taken extremely seriously and will be reported to the academic conduct panel. This applies to both courseworks and exam answers.

9. A marked difference between your writing style, knowledge and skill level demonstrated in class discussion, any test conditions and that demonstrated in a coursework assignment may result in you having to undertake a Viva Voce in order to prove the coursework assignment is entirely your own work.

10. If you make use of the services of a proof reader in your work you must keep your original version and make it available as a demonstration of your written efforts.

11. You must not submit work for assessment that you have already submitted (partially or in full), either for your current course or for another qualification of this university, unless this is specifically provided for in your assignment brief or specific course or module information. Where earlier work by you is citable, ie. it has already been published/submitted, you must reference it clearly. Identical pieces of work submitted concurrently will also be considered to be self-plagiarism.

A very good attempt to address the objectives of the assessment task with an emphasis on those elements requiring critical review.

A generally clear line of critical and evaluative argument is presented. Relationships between statements and sections are easy to follow, and there is a sound, coherent structure.

A very good range of relevant sources is used in a largely consistent way as supporting evidence. There is use of some sources beyond recommended texts. Correctly referenced in the main.

The answer demonstrates a very good understanding of theories, concepts and issues, with evidence of reading beyond the recommended minimum. Well organised and clearly written.

Lower Second

50-59

Competently addresses objectives, but may contain errors or omissions and critical discussion of issues may be superficial or limited in places.

Some critical discussion, but the argument is not always convincing, and the work is descriptive in places, with over-reliance on the work of others.

A range of relevant sources is used, but the critical evaluation aspect is not fully presented. There is limited use of sources beyond the standard recommended materials. Referencing is not always correctly presented.

The answer demonstrates a good understanding of some relevant theories, concepts and issues, but there are some errors and irrelevant material included. The structure lacks clarity.

Third

40-49

Addresses most objectives of the assessment task, with some notable omissions. The structure is unclear in parts, and there is limited analysis.

The work is descriptive with minimal critical discussion and limited theoretical engagement.

A limited range of relevant sources used without appropriate presentation as supporting or conflicting evidence coupled with very limited critical analysis. Referencing has some errors.
