If you believe that:
your performance in assessment or reassessment has been impaired, or;
you were unable to attend for an assessment or reassessment, or;
you were unable to submit assessed or reassessed work by the scheduled date due to
illness or other valid cause (as defined in the Procedures Governing Extenuating Circumstances), may apply for extenuation for the relevant component(s) to Unicaf Extenuating Circumstances team (extenuating.circumstances@unicaf.org).
*Once a component has been capped, extenuation does not uncap it.
Academic misconduct including plagiarism
Ensure that you are familiar with the relevant regulations regarding academic misconduct. By submitting the assignment, you declare that it is your own work and that the material and sources of information used, including internet sources, have been fully identified and properly acknowledged. In addition, you confirm that the presented work has not been submitted for any other assessment. You also acknowledge that the faculty reserves the right to investigate allegations of plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct which, if proven and dependent on the severity level of the offense, may result in a penalty that could affect your progress.
By submitting your work, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed with the above statements.
General Guidance
Your assignment should be MS Word processed (handwritten assignments are not accepted), using Times New Roman size 12 font, double spaced, with numbered pages and your student number printed as a footer on every page. Note this is a report supported by academic research so you should adhere to the appropriate referencing guidance. The word limit stated for this assignment excludes the list of references at the end of the assignment but includes all text in the main body of the assignment (including direct quotations, in-text citations, footnotes, tables, diagrams and graphs). Please be aware that exceeding the word limit will affect the academic judgement of the piece of work and may result in the award of a lower mark. Appendices are not considered a supplement and will not be assessed as part of the content of the assignment. As such, they will not contribute to the grade awarded; however, it may be appropriate to use an Appendices section for any material which is a useful reference for the reader. Please note that appendices are not included in the word count. The majority of references should come from primary sources (e.g. journal articles, conference papers, reports, etc.) although you can also utilise area specific textbooks. You must ensure that you use the Harvard style of referencing. Please indicate the word count length at the end of your assignment.
Marking and assessment
243840045910500This assignment will be marked out of 100% and contributes to 100% of the total module mark. The passing mark is 50%. The marking rubric is attached, which offers guidance on the assessment criteria and weighting.
Late Submission
There will be a stipulated deadline date for all assignments. All assignments will need to be submitted by the set time on the stipulated deadline date. Assignments submitted up to 24 hours late will be accepted, but the assignment mark will be subject to a deduction of 5 marks from the mark awarded.
Learning outcomes applied in this assessment
LO1: Understand the requirements of Construction Technology and its operations for successful project outcomes.
LO2: Outline the concept of BIM and Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the construction industry.
LO3: Evaluate the possible risks involved with collaborative working using Information Communication Technology (ICT).
LO4: Show the ability to use BIM to gather and use evidence and data to find, retrieve, sort and exchange project information.
LO5: Distinguish between the various contributions and requirements of small, medium, and large stakeholders.
Assessment guidelines
Produce a 3000-word long professional report (+/- 10%) (excluding the list of references) that offers students the ability to demonstrate their developing knowledge and application of the teaching and learning material covered in weeks 1 to 11. It also encourages students to develop their thoughts and perspectives on theories and concepts.
Task- work to be done
The Burj Khalifa (formerly the Burj Dubai) is a skyscraper located in Dubai that was built by Emaar Properties. Construction began in 2004 and completed in 2009. The Burj Khalifa is considered as the tallest skyscraper in the world. The building is a mixed-used building, offering residential, business, and entertainment facilities. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill Architecture of Chicago, and the primary contractor was Samsung C&T of South Korea. Turner Construction Company, one of the largest construction companies in the United States and a subsidiary of a German company, was hired as the major project manager of the venture. The total cost for the building was $1.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Your coursework should include a discussion of the following important points:
The project was delayed in different phases of the construction due to several factors; name five different factors that you think could cause a delay and discuss how could the project planning help the managers and engineers to avoid such delays in the future?
There are many software solutions and ICT tools that have been developed in an effort to solve the problems that plague (shake) the construction industry. What technology(ies) were used in Burj Khalifa and why the engineers selected these particular technology(ies)?
How BIM could be used as a new technology for Burj Khalifa for supply chain management? (You could use a drawing as a basic illustration of the project supply chain).
Construction project planning and management is a balancing act between leading, managing people and resources within given constraints in an efficient and effective way. Based on your understanding of the modules, what do you think the constraints could be and why? Can BIM help in the construction execution?
Additional considerations for your analysis.
The assignment requires you to use the relevant module material (ideas, concepts, theories or frameworks) to inform your evaluation. It is expected that the principles underpinning your analysis should preferably be from academic books and/or updated peer-reviewed academic journals.
Assessment Criteria
Your assignment will be marked according to the following criteria:
Understanding and Reading: The depth of your reading (number, range and quality of sources) and understanding of it. You are expected to read the essential and further readings to support your argument/discussion; you cannot rely on personal opinion or unsupported statements.
Critical Analysis: The level of critical analysis in your writing and the quality of the argument developed. You cannot rely on simple description, but have to apply knowledge and theory from the readings to critically engage with the material.
Structure: Your ability to develop a clear, logical structure for your coursework which addresses the required points of the task and guides the reader. Your coursework should include a clear introduction, a cogently argued main body, and a conclusion that summarises the argument and answers the overall question.
Presentation and Referencing: Your ability to express yourself clearly in English using appropriate terminology, correct spelling and grammar. The extent to which your coursework is correctly referenced using the Harvard system of referencing in-text and with a reference list.
