project planning and assess its effect on the success or otherwise
of any project.

Case.
Question 3: Design Management

Question 4: Change Management
One of the largest manufacturers and service provider of
lifts and escalators was procured on a tower building project. The
scheme design indicated a conventional motor room for the highest
lift that goes from the basement to the top of the tower building.
However, the designers did not know what to do exactly about its
installation and what the walls will look like so they left gaps in
the design of the motor room and its interfaces with other design
elements. The lifts trade contractor suggested installing a
prefabricated motor room instead. The main contractor considered
this suggestion to be too expensive. What are the documents that
should be communicated and controlled before deciding whether or
not to go ahead with the manufacturer suggestion? Develop and
discuss.
Question 5: Procurement of Construction Projects
A manufacturing organisation is expanding and needs to have a
new factory to be built. The design team has been appointed, and
the design of the new factory is progressing. The primary concern
of the organisation is to get the factory designed and built
quickly, but they also want to keep the costs low, and they want
the factory to be built to high standards.
Discuss with justification, what is the best procurement
method they should select to build the factory.
