LEARNING OUTCOMES
This assignment is designed to test the following learning outcomes, which are derived from your module descriptor:
|
· Understand the role of the client in the procurement process · Recommend the appropriate forms of procurement strategy for different types of projects · Critically analyse in the tendering and estimating process from both client and contractor perspectives and the importance of using tender evaluation techniques · Produce and use information for controlling and reporting on costs during design development and during construction · Use best practice methods for the selection and appointment of consultants and contractors · Evaluate the process of converting an estimate into a tender bid submission |
ASSIGNMENT TASK
Scenario:
Your consultancy practice has been approached by a recognised new client. You view this as a new business opportunity for a sustained and ongoing partnership with them.
The project
The project is for a £20 million, 8 storey hotel with 60 bedrooms to be built over a 2 year period, in a town centre for a three star group.
The site is congested; irregular in shape and sloping. The floors may need to be split level to take full advantage of the site. The roof line though may need to disguise the split levels and provide an eye catching silhouette, commensurate with the surroundings. The external finishing needs to reflect the hotels image and incorporate traditional and modern values of the town. Minimum load-bearing should be carried on the external envelope to avoid perimeter foundations. The fit out of the project will be in keeping with the hotels standards and to accommodate different customer needs. Each floor will include a high level of sustainable services with environmentally controlled management systems.
The new building is to be developed on the site behind an Edwardian terrace of three storey shops /houses. Three of the terrace buildings, in the centre, will need to be demolished to allow access to the new hotel. The remaining buildings need to be shored and underpinned to allow the new development to take place.
SHAPE \* MERGEFORMAT
You are commissioned to produce a Business Case (report) on the viability of a proposal for this client and provide reasoned and evidence-based advice (supported with references as required).on the points below.

· Earned Value Management
· SWMP and costs
· Proposed planned schedule for payments
· Terrain issues and costs
· Risk analysis
· Remediation of a Brownfield site followed by the installation of services
· Regulations for conforming and requirements to complete project
· Sustainability
· Recommend contract type (NEC/JCT )
· Recommend procurement route
In addition, refer to RIBA Plan of Works for guidance for further content.
GUIDELINES
The style of your written essay must be professional and formal.
Communication must be clear, effective and error-free throughout the report. The following points should also be used as guidance:
· Direct speech including writing in the first, second person (e.g. I, we, you etc.) is inappropriate for academic reports and must be strictly avoided.
