How will we manage and finish the modernization of the 6 Marla home project
while minimising the danger of failure?
It is quite tough to manage the project and prevent all of the project's risks.

How we avoided the risks in our project:

Finishing projects on time:
We ensured the project is finished on time:
 Check to see whether the construction schedule is realistic and correct, taking into account all project
limitations as well as anticipated weather conditions.
 When it comes to jobs that can't be done on time, don't place a price on them.
 Determine whether or not the project has the resources and skills it requires.
 Every member of the project team must be aware of, and work in compliance with, the schedule.

Good quality:
We used the quality according to specifications and as per client’s demand.
 A workforce comprised of individuals with appropriate skills and training is essential.
 Product purchases should be made from well-known providers rather than only on the basis of price
comparisons.
 Putting in place methods for checking for errors on a continuous basis.
 Subcontractors and suppliers that have the resources and skills to satisfy the quality criteria are used in
this process.
 Having the appropriate tools and equipment.

Good project management:

I cared after my staff by giving them with training and opportunities, as well as by making
them feel that they were a valuable part of the company's overall success. If they are not
treated well, they will not put up their best effort or pay attention to their supervisor.
The importance of a skilled project manager and experienced supervisors cannot be
overstated. They have the ability to make a fortune for the firm while also assuring the
delight of its customers and clients.

Safety:
It is important that all project employees are committed to working safely and eliminating safety
risks. Safety can be improved by:
 Ensure that all members of the team have the relevant skills.
 Cleaning and maintaining an organised working environment.
 To ensure that project staff are fully informed on the project's rules and dangers, all
project personnel undergo a complete project induction before commencing work on
the project.
Cash flow
Providing timely invoices and following up with customers to ensure that payments are received on time are
two important aspects of the job.
When you notice a change, you should make a variation claim as soon as possible. All supporting evidence and
backing must be presented with the variant claims in order for them to be effective. Make every effort to
achieve a settlement with the consumer on the claim as soon as possible after receiving it. Payment will be
delayed as a consequence of protracted legal battles and arguments, which will have a negative impact on cash
flow and profitability.

P-1
Evaluation of your own skills with the use of skill audit.
Even though I had no previous experience in this field, working on a project with my
classmates allowed me to gain a great deal of knowledge. My interpersonal communication
skills were lacking, and I was ashamed to be working in a group. My talents have greatly
increased as a result of my participation in this task.

Because we were working on a group project, I gained a great deal of knowledge from the field work and, more
significantly, from my classmates. My students, like me, have some limited abilities, and they gained as much
knowledge from me as I gained from them. My students have gained a great deal of knowledge from me, and I
have gained much knowledge from them.
ALI Amin and ASMAT were my two coworkers.

You need to give reviews of your own skills and other
class mates.
Previously, my talents were poor; but, after working on a project, they have significantly
improved. It is possible to evaluate your own ability just looking at yourself in the mirror. In
order to do this, we may either do it on our own or get advice from others. Our project sketch
was created with the assistance of Farid ullah, who is a brilliant artist, and as a consequence,
my sketching talents have increased as a result of working with him. Suleman Amin was in
charge of the survey work for this project, which he completed successfully. He had a wealth
of expertise about the sector, and Farid and I gained a great deal from him. Suleman has much
too much expertise with G.P.S. and total-station equipment.
As a result, I embraced the challenge and taught them as they displayed their ability to me. All
of the estimate work was completed by myself, and I believe I did an excellent job. My
classmates also gained a great deal from the experience. Working with them was a fantastic
experience, and I look forward to collaborating with them on further projects in the future so
that we can share our expertise and experience.

Belbin team inventory:

People engage in an almost limitless number of different behaviours. The number of relevant
behaviours that make a major contribution to team performance, on the other hand, is very small.
There are many related clusters of behaviours that may be categorised, each of which is referred
to as a "Team Role."

What are the nine Belbin Team Roles?

The nine Belbin team roles are job descriptions separated into three groups: thought-oriented
roles, action-oriented roles, and people-oriented roles. The nine Belbin team roles are divided
into three groups: thought-oriented roles, action-oriented roles, and people-oriented roles.
Understanding the roles and responsibilities of each team member will enable you to function
more effectively as a group:

The Monitor Evaluator (thought-oriented)

Instead of being influenced by emotions and impulses, Monitor Evaluators make decisions based on
facts and objective reasoning. It is common for them to be serious individuals who excel in strategic
planning and analytical thinking.

The Specialist (thought-oriented)

A Specialist is a member of the team who has specialised knowledge in a certain field. Their
assistance is often limited to tasks that need their specific area of expertise, since they have in-
depth knowledge in a single subject area.
The Plant (thought-oriented)
Plants are free-thinkers and innovators who come up with unique ideas and introduce novel
methods of doing things. They are also resourceful and adaptable. Plants, like the other two
thought-oriented jobs, prefer to operate alone, which is similar to the way humans do.

The Shaper (action-oriented)

Shapers are extroverts who push themselves and others to achieve their objectives. They are also known
as goal achievers. People with a lot of energy and determination who can motivate and inspire their
teammates to be enthusiastic about what they do are rare.

The Implementer (action-oriented)

In this profession, implementers are those who desire to control their environment and maintain
everything in order. Because they are practical individuals, implementers prefer to construct real plans
from abstract notions rather than abstract concepts from actual plans. Implementers are self-disciplined
and self-controlled individuals who are able to set their personal interests aside in order to focus on the
needs of a group or organisation. They are also self-motivated and self-directed.

The Completer/Finisher (action-oriented)

Completers and Finishers are introverted individuals who are responsible for quality assurance
throughout critical stages of a project. They are typically perfectionists who are able to pick up on little
details, enabling them to meticulously scrutinise finished work or objects for problems before submitting
them for approval. Because these individuals strive for perfection, they have a tendency to expect it from
others in their immediate vicinity.

The Coordinator (people-oriented)

The employees who work as coordinators are responsible, mature individuals with excellent
interpersonal and communication skills. The majority of the time, they hold managerial roles, yet their
management approaches are markedly different from Shapers'. Coordinators want a more democratic
type of administration, one that encourages open dialogue, as opposed to the directives of Shapers.

The Team Worker (people-oriented)

Employees in teams tend to be extroverts who maintain a calm and friendly demeanour at all times.
They have a natural ability to motivate and inspire a group to operate more successfully as a team, and
they are outstanding listeners. If Team Workers notice that other members of the team are having
difficulties, they are more likely to step in and assist them.

The Resource Investigator (people-oriented)

Resource Investigators are extroverts with a natural aptitude for networking. They are folks that
are positive and enthusiastic, who like exploring new possibilities and learning about new
technological advancements. The ability to take ideas from others, even if they do not necessarily
come up with new ones themselves, is something they have mastered.

P-2

Develop and identify the role with description of

your within a project team.
A building project is not little and cannot be finished by a single person. When a project is huge,
numerous businesses collaborate to satisfy the demands of the client; however, when a project is
small, only one company collaborates, but the company splits the work among multiple persons
to ensure that the customer's expectations are met. We need to construct a two-story building
with a five-marla footprint.
Generic differences between role and responsibilities
It is the function of a person in relation to the other members of the team that is discussed in this
section. Responsibilities are the actions and duties that are associated with a given position or job
description, and are defined as follows: Employees are held accountable for a wide range of
tasks and obligations at their place of employment.
My role in this project:
In light of the fact that, as previously said, my quantity surveying talents are excellent, my
company has tasked me with the obligation of creating an estimate for this construction.
Quantity surveying is not as straightforward as it seems, and even a little inaccuracy might result
in the failure of the whole project. a little project has completely wiped out the whole budget
estimate
Develop and identify the responsibilities of your within a project team.
As I told you my role in this project but as a quantity surveyor my responsibilities are mentioned
below:
 In my role as project manager, I'm in charge of managing all aspects of the project's contractual and
financial aspects.
 Formalize tender forms and contracts, as well as budgets, bills of materials, and other documentation.
 Work performed on-site should be measured and appreciated.
 Changes in the design or construction work should be recorded, and budget predictions should be
updated to reflect these changes.
 When constructing a building, I need to determine how much material was used in the process of
construction. In addition, I calculated the actual cost of the task or labour that was performed.

7
  Prepare a cost analysis for the repair and maintenance of the project.

Make an estimate of the worth of the completed job and make arrangements for payment.
You need to develop the project plan:
Setting of the goal:
In every undertaking, deciding on a goal is critical. The effort will be in vain if the objective
setting is unknown. My objectives for this project were to construct a high-quality, insured
structure that would be appreciated by my customer and employees, as well as to finish the job
on schedule.
Scope of project:
The process of identifying and recording a list of specified project objectives, deliverables,
features, functions, activities, deadlines, and, ultimately, expenses is known as project scope. In
other words, it is what must be accomplished and the labour that must be completed in order to
complete a project.
WBS (work break-down structure):
A typical productivity tip for making work more manageable and accessible is to break it down
into smaller tasks. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which is one of the most essential
project management papers, is the instrument that employs this method for projects. It combines
scope, cost, and schedule baselines on its own, ensuring that project plans are in sync.

Risk in the project:
There are several dangers and difficulties to consider while working on a construction job.
When a client orders work, he or she wants it to be of good quality and completed on schedule.
Simply because I am in charge of the project, it is my responsibility to ensure that it is
completed on time. The following are some of the extra dangers:
 Labor safety
 Bad material
 Resources
 Financial issues

Target group: Oh, and Ahsan Khan is a customer of ours. He's a long-time client for whom we've performed
the vast bulk of his work over the course of many years. It is my first time constructing a house for him, and I
want to fulfil his dreams by constructing his home according to his requirements. He has been in the company
for a very long period of time.

Physical resources:
Physical resources are the elements that are required for a project to be successful. There have
been several notable advancements in the construction business during the past few years. As a
consequence, sophisticated technology was necessary for the construction of this modern
structure. A project necessitates the use of high-quality materials.
Human resources:
We need a machine operator in order to operate the machine. The most crucial aspect of a
project is the skilled labour required to complete it, which includes employees who know what
they're doing and have past experience in the business. A man who knows how to manage his
time and finish his obligations on time and within his budget.
Waste management:
In order to run the machine, it will be necessary to hire a machine operator. In addition, and
probably most importantly, the skilled labour necessary for a project is readily accessible; that is,
personnel who know what they're doing and have previous expertise in the industry. A guy who
understands the value of being well-organized and performing his tasks on time is someone you
should date.
When it comes to digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction
(AEC) industry, building information modelling (BIM) is the cornerstone of success. As the
leader in Building Information Modeling (BIM), Autodesk is the industry's partner in realising
new ways of working and improved outcomes for business and the built environment.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the term used to describe the whole process of
creating and managing information for a created item (BIM). BIM is a method of creating a
digital representation of an asset throughout its lifecycle, from planning and design through
building and operation, by combining structured, multi-disciplinary data with a cloud platform
to create a digital version of the asset.

P-5

Develop the construction drawing:

As a consequence of the changing circumstances, people are more
attracted to modern constructions and styles of today. With the
help of technology, we are now able to make 3D pictures of a
structure. Our client asked that we show him a 3D model of his
house, which we gladly obliged. It was a difficult but ultimately
rewarding experience. My coworkers and I worked together on
this project and shared our expertise with one another throughout
the process.
Specifications of drawing:
In this assignment, I made use of all of the high-quality materials that the client had specified.
He wishes his house had been built with A-class bricks rather than concrete blocks.
Afterwards, he directed me to use steel with a minimum yield strength of 4 bar. As a result of
all of this, he asked that I design both a 2D and 3D drawing, which we gladly provided. For the
2D designs, I utilised the AutoCAD software, and for the 3D modelling, I used the REVIT
programme. These software programmes are the most effective available today for this kind of
work, and they are also the most user-friendly.
Afterwards, the finishing work will be completed in accordance with the client's requirements
and the materials he likes. His ceiling, flooring, and wall finishes may be designed by our
skilled team to meet his specific needs and specifications.

You need to prepare a proper cost plan:

Calculating an estimate proved to be a challenging process. We can't supply a detailed cost plan
since it would be too huge, so I'll instead attach a bill of quantities, but a general estimate of the
cost is provided below:

P-7

Prepare a pre-construction health and safety

method statement.
Safety Goals:
It is the project's safety objectives to safeguard the health, safety, and well-being of all project
staff, as well as the health, safety, and well-being of anybody who may be harmed by the
project's operations. Calculate and document the processes that must be followed in order to
remove hazards or, if this is not feasible, to mitigate and manage the risks connected with the
design, construction, maintenance, and ultimate destruction of a building.
Ways to keep your construction safe
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure the health and safety of his workers, and this paper
discusses some of the health and safety requirements in detail.
1. Provide safe systems of work:
Any construction business is expected to provide a safe working environment for its
employees.. This is the first thing a potential employee looks for in a firm when evaluating it
for employment. Worker safety equipment such as helmets, safety gloves, safety shoes, and
any other equipment that may be required to protect the worker from danger should be made
readily accessible. .
2. Provide safe plant and machinery:
In order for the supervisor's crew to complete all of the mixing work and store all of the supplies,
the ability to provide a safe environment for them is critical throughout the duration of a
construction project. The employer is also responsible for supplying his or her workers with
excellent equipment that will not cause any problems throughout the course of their employment,
as well as highly skilled machine operators.
3. Provide training and supervision:
As a result, many employees and supervisors are unsure of their responsibilities in relation to
the needs of the business, and it should be the obligation of the company to provide them with
competent training so that they can do any job you want.
 4. Safe place of work:
The challenge for employers when it comes to providing a safe working environment for their
workers is the same as for employees. Every worker who is working on a roof, for example,
should have access to a safe scuff folding device that is easily accessible. The weight-to-weight
ratio of a person who weighs 60 kg must be 1:4, which means that it must be capable of
supporting four times his own weight.
Minimize and manage risk:
Because of the nature of construction activities, it is difficult to eliminate all potential safety
hazards. By contrast, executing regular safety audits and implementing procedures to report,
analyse, and mitigate potential dangers, many of the most often reported safety problems may be
avoided.
Safe work method assessment (SWMS):
Before any work on a high-risk construction project can begin, it is necessary to develop a safe
work method statement. It should contain information on the extent of the job, any potential
safety problems, and the methods that will be used to minimise or mitigate risks. According to
the law, construction activity cannot commence unless the SWMS requirements have been met
and documented.
Entry and exit points:
Separate entrance and departure points for heavy machinery/vehicle access should be built
in order to improve pedestrian safety in high-traffic areas.
Environmental conditions:
Extreme weather conditions have the potential to put people's lives in danger. In the event
of a natural disaster, harsh environmental circumstances, or other emergency, your on-site
emergency plan should provide clear instructions to employees who are required to stop
working in order to respond.
First aid; It is ideal practise in the construction industry to have one first aid officer for every 25 personnel,
which is a good ratio. A readily accessible area for on-site first-aid supplies and equipment must be maintained
at all times.

P-8

Gibbs reflective cycle:

The Reflective Cycle, developed by Gibbs, was designed to provide structure to experience-
based learning. As a framework for analysing events, and because of its cyclic nature, it lends
itself well to recurrent interactions, allowing you to learn and prepare from things that went well
and things that went wrong. There are six steps to this process:
Description:
My current project is a home improvement project that I'm working on. Most of my time is spent
assisting with the construction project, and I've just lately began planning and carrying out a part
of each task. The incident occurred while I was working on a ceiling installation project that I
was supposed to finish. All I have to do now is follow the instructions given to me by my clients.
It was suggested that false ceilings be installed; however, the client had other ideas. However,
despite the fact that I had to design the house within a certain budget, the end product was not
terrible.

Feelings:

I was in such a foul mood at the time that I contemplated abandoning the project altogether.
However, I was not only embarrassed and disappointed by my inability to produce the design
myself, but I was also enraged by the behaviour of the company's staff in front of the
consumers. I elected to speak with the placement supervisor, who thoroughly explained
everything to me, and I realised that I would have to pay a price for my mistake.

Evaluation:

At the time, I was really dissatisfied with the project and seriously considered leaving it.
However, I was much more ashamed and disappointed by my inability to complete the design,
and I was upset with my employer for reacting inappropriately in front of the clients. I chose to
speak with the placement supervisor, who took the time to explain everything to me and made it
clear that I would be held accountable for my mistake.

Analysis:

My own actions, as well as those of the company's workers, contributed to the escalation of
the situation. It is advisable to deal with such problems as soon as possible. Following a
conversation with my supervisor a few days later, I realised that I needed to concentrate on
my ability to operate under pressure. It is also necessary for me to develop my design
capabilities. For the next duties, I must ensure that everything goes according to plan and that
all of the clients' wishes are satisfied in order to avoid any more complications.

Conclusion:

If I had the opportunity to do things over again, I would have done so. The incident, on the
 other hand, showed me the importance of building relationships with clients. If I had spent the
previous weeks establishing a professional relationship with my colleagues, I feel I would have
been able to explain how terrified I was. This would have provided an opportunity to
experiment with other nerve-calming techniques, and the problem may have been avoided
entirely.
Action plan:
To avoid this in the future, I'll make a point of developing connections with my employees. The people with
whom I will be working throughout my placement will be varied, and I want to speak with each and every one
of them about my capabilities. I've already had a good conversation with one of my coworkers, and the two of
us have cooperated on the design of a commercial building. In fact, this is something I'd want to do with the
other men as well, since it will help them understand how I'm feeling better. My other trainees' emotional states
must also be discussed more often with me, since 14I think there is much to be gained from their experiences.
Schon’s the reflective practitioner:

With his insistence on the need of reflection as part of the learning process, Donald Schon has made a major
contribution to the field of professional education. Schon identified two types of reflection in professional
practise: reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action. Reflection-in-action is a kind of reflection that occurs
while you are doing something. When professionals are working on a problem or activity, they may use a
method known as "reflection in action," sometimes known as "thinking on our feet," to make adjustments as the
situation or activity evolves. In most cases, it's associated with the sensation of being taken by surprise: Schon
advises that professionals utilise "reflecting-in-action" to reflect on unexpected occurrences and conduct
"experiments" that result in new information about the experience as well as a change in the situation. It is
referred to as reflection-on-action when an event, scenario, or phenomenon is considered after it has already
taken place. Reflecting on their actions, professionals evaluate what happened in the event, why they reacted the
way they did, what they may have done better, and so forth. Reflection-on-action is often associated with
reflective writing because professionals who write about their experiences and examine alternative strategies to
improve their work are able to reflect on their experiences and propose alternate approaches to improve their
job.
The life cycle of a project is as follows:
Project management is often separated into four stages: initiation, planning, execution, and closing. The path that takes you
from the beginning to the end of your project is made up of these steps.
 INITIATION
First, identify a company need, issue, or opportunity, then brainstorm ideas with your team to
meet that need, solve that problem, or capitalise on that opportunity. Once you've done that, you
may go on to the next step. Assessing the objective of the project, determining whether or not it
is feasible, and outlining its major outputs are all part of this step of the development process.
1. PLANNING
After your business case, statement of work, or project start document has been approved for
implementation, you will move onto the planning phase of the project. During this phase of the
project management life cycle, you break down the larger project into smaller tasks, assemble your
team, and establish a schedule for fulfilling assignments. Organize smaller goals inside the main
project, making sure that each is achievable within the period established. Smaller goals should
have a higher possibility of being achieved than larger ones.

2. EXECUTION
You've obtained business approval, developed a plan, and gathered your team. Now what? It's
past time to get down to business, as they say. The execution phase is the stage during which you
put your strategy into action. It is the project manager's responsibility throughout this phase of
the project management life cycle to keep the project on track, organise the team members,
monitor deadlines, and guarantee that the work is finished in accordance with the original plan.
3. CLOSURE PHASE
The project is considered completed when the team delivers the final product to the customer,
notifies stakeholders of completion, and releases resources to work on other projects in the
future. This critical step in the project lifecycle enables the team to finish the project, document
it, and move on to the next one in the pipeline. A good team is always aware of the problems in
their project and seeks to make improvements for the next one.
Post implementation reviews:
Following the completion of the project, a post-implementation review is carried out. Its
activities are aimed at assessing if the project's objectives were met, the project's effectiveness,
lessons learned for the future, and the measures that must be taken in order to maximise the
benefits derived from the project's outputs.
Steps to conduct a post implementation review of the project
Post Implementation Review activities include:
 Evaluation of the effectiveness with which the project outputs achieved the targeted
business results and projected benefits, and determination of whether more needs to be
done to optimise the realisation of the benefits from the project outputs in collaboration
with the business owner area(s) and key stakeholders.

 Calculating and evaluating the total cost of the project, the predicted cost savings, and the
degree to which the intended benefit has been achieved via the use of the Project Plan,
Benefit Management Plan, and Cost Benefit Analysis worksheet
 It is vital to identify all ongoing and follow-up measures that are required to fully realise
the commercial benefits of the project far beyond the project's life cycle. It is possible
that new regulations or processes may be implemented, as well as training and changes to
websites and other online information resources.
Reviews by government:
with the business owner area(s) and key stakeholders, determining if more should be done to
optimise the realisation of benefits from the project outputs, and evaluating how successfully the
project outputs achieved the targeted business results and provided the anticipated benefits.
Calculate the overall cost of the project, the expected cost savings, and the degree to which the
planned benefit has been achieved using the Project Plan, the Benefit Management Plan, and the
Cost Benefit Analysis worksheet.
Identifying all continuing and support activities that will be necessary to fully realise the
economic advantages of the project much beyond its life cycle. It is possible that new legislation
or procedures, as well as training and adjustments to websites and other information resources,
will be put in place.
Reviews by team-mates:
After I finished the task, I reviewed it with my coworkers, who also praised me for finishing it
on time and for cooperating with them. After all of that, they are eager to collaborate with me
on future initiatives.
Reviews by supervisor:
The supervisor thought I did an excellent job because I did what he wanted, and the most
important thing he appreciated was that my conduct with my coworkers and labour was nice,
and we completed all of the work according to the blueprints.
Reviews by owner;
The owner thought highly of me since I was assigned the duty of completing the project in 5
months, which I completed on schedule, and the materials used in the project were as specified,
and all work was completed using the selected plans. As a result, the owner complimented me
on my work and expertise in this industry.
Reviews by people:
People's opinions were also extremely essential in this sector; we relocated all machine
operations away from the populous area so that people would not be disturbed, and we kept
our materials in a secure location away from the public. As a result, they all praised our
organisation and then myself and my coworkers for displaying such professionalism.

P-9

Evaluate their own working practices in relation to that of

other members of the team, identifying areas of good
practice.
Areas of good practice:
 I am skilled at interacting with customers, workers, and construction material vendors.

 Because my company offers me excellent comments on my designs, I am skilled at planning
17
buildings and road alignment.
 Because I finished my assignment on time, I believe I am competent at time management for
many tasks.
 I believe I work best in a team or group setting because I like to accomplish tasks on time.
 I'm a problem solver since I've dealt with and solved major issues on the field.
Areas of improvement:
 In real life or in the construction business, I want to make speedy decisions.
 I believe I am a little bashful, which is why I am unable to express my views and ideas
to the appropriate person.
 I believe I am not very good at levelling, which is why I was unable to conduct a
thorough survey.
 In the building site, I believe I am not very adept at selecting the appropriate materials.
  I believe I might enhance my market analysis since market analysis is critical in the
construction industry.
 I believe I am lacking in the area of management since I am unable to handle a large
amount of work in a systematic or regulated manner.

Areas of improvement of ALI:

I think Farid Ullah is an ideal project partner but after working with him I realized there are
some skills that he need to improve, like:
 I believe he can enhance his negotiating abilities since I believe he struggles to
persuade customers.
 He needs to work on his management skills, as time management is one of the
most important aspects of construction, in my opinion.
 Another area where he may improve is his problem-solving abilities, since after
working with him, I believe he is unable of effectively resolving the project's
issues.
After working with ALI I came to know that he is very talented and intelligent but I think
there is still room for improvement, such as:
 I found he's a little bashful, therefore he can't speak with customers well, thus he has to
work on improving his communication skills.
 Suleman's computer abilities aren't as strong as they should be, and I believe that in our
industry, solid computer skills are crucial.
 Because of his poor communication skills, I believe he is unable to persuade his
customers, hence another skill that has to be improved is his bargaining abilities.
 He, like ASMAT, struggles to solve complicated problems, thus I believe he, too,
needs to enhance his problem-solving abilities.
