Assignment - Review construction information and schedules of defects to ascertain patent defects and the implication for defects liability and assess a pre-construction Health & Safety plan
Learning Outcome 1: Evaluate construction information to determine quality requirements
Learning Outcome 2: Prepare a report on defects and recommended remedial actions.
Learning Outcome 3: Assess a pre-construction health & safety plan for a given construction project, in relation to local and national regulations
Assignment Brief
For this assignment, you will work individually to produce a technical report.
The company you are working for is considering and investing in an existing building part of the company's facilities. You have been askedto produce a technical report for the board focusing on the following critical issues regarding the review construction information and schedules of defects to ascertain patent defects and the implication for defects liability and assess a pre-construction Health & Safety plan:
1. Define quality requirements for the project through the review of drawings, specifications and schedules
2. Explore the relationship between project quality requirements with statutory requirements
3. Evaluate the impact of potential changes in project quality requirements that are necessary to meet statutory requirements
4. Identify defects for a given construction project and produce a schedule of defects
5. Explore remedial actions necessary to address identified defects
6. Discuss the difference between a patent and latent defects and their associated implications for remedial actions
7. Discuss the importance of construction design management for ensuring site safety
8. Discuss local and national requirements for Health & Safety in relation to construction projects
9. Evaluate the impact of Health & Safety violations on construction project
10. Give examples of methods for promoting a positive approach to Health & Safety for a construction team
Task 1: Prepare a report on defects and recommended remedial actions and evaluate construction information to determine quality requirements and assess a pre-construction Health & Safety plan.
This task should consider what is defined as "construction information" (construction drawings, specifications, schedule, BIM) and how it is linked with the quality requirements. This will lead to an explanation of which type of defects are detected on site. This should further be evaluated and discussed. This report should be linked to a live or completed project that could support your findings.
The report should contain technical diagrams to illustrate technical content. Each part is to be indexed carefully to appropriate sources to illustrate regulations and guidelines to both tasks.
Discussions sections will be covered by having biweekly sessions and students should record it and evidence it on the appendix sections.
At the time of writing, due to the COVID 19 coronavirus pandemic, this assignment will be carried out as part of a blended learning strategy, with alternating weeks of face-to-face and remote learning.
You should use the Harvard Referencing System.
