Hi-Rize Development 2007 Project Management

INTRODUCTION

Hi-Rize Development 2007, the client, would like to construct a new prestigious office development and has a brief set of requirements as to what they want together with a set of elevation / section drawings and a site investigation. HRD 2007 has worked on projects of a smaller nature and industrial projects; therefore their experience in this type of project is limited. There have been a few steps which HRD 2007 has missed out on, which a Project Manager may be able to help with. The report will start off by analysing briefly what the client has done so far and the role of the Project Manager; discussing the benefits of having one on this project. It will then go on to investigate the different procurement methods that may be suitable for this project by comparing compatibility with the clients requirements. A linked bar-chart programme will be produced to show the execution time of the pre-construction phase of the project. This report will culminate in a conclusion recommending a suitable procurement method and how a Project Manager can help on this project.
