EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The University of Queensland is growing as a campus and greater demands are being placed
on the learning and teaching outcomes of staff and the facilities on campus. The proposed
retrofit will revitalise the old and ineffective chamberlain building into a world class learning
facility targeted at reaching the aims mentioned prior. 1
The project will consider and redesign
both the internal and external spaces of the chamberlain building providing outstanding
teaching spaces and sustainable solutions to the existing building,2 such a change that will
incur power savings into the future. proposal should be selected over the market
competitors for such a project because the business case considers every aspect of the project
and its lifecycle with highly effective and positive outcomes for all the stakeholders involved.
Such a project will not only stimulate the campus culture it will provide a multitude of jobs
both fixed and temporary. The project will require the skills of many bright minds ranging
from Architects, Civil. Hydraulics, electrical and mechanical engineers, contractors and so
forth shown in section 4.1.1 of the project structure.3 Of course the cost of the project will
be considerable however its positive impact will of course be greater, stimulating learning
and teaching opportunities for UQ Psychology Department 4
for many years to come. In order
for the project to be a great success many considerations need to be made, these include
programming the project into phases improving timing, and budget, communication5
management between stakeholders also need to be taken into attention just as governance
and structure are important for the projects success.

1 PROJECT NEED
1.1 PROJECT NEED
The project need is the initial step in a project timeline before considering resources and the goals
intended, without a project need the direction of the project is unclear, 6
all projects must start with a
means of explaining what they are and why they are significant to make happen.
The project is large scale retrofit design for an existing institutional building located at the University of Queensland,
the retrofit will give the building new life and purpose for both students and staff on the St Lucia Campus.
The project needs to take place because the current building is non compliant and performs poorly against
sustainability and energy goals emplaced by the uni.
Additionally the building in its current state is under- utilized and performs inadequately to the teaching standards at
UQ
1.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Project Objectives are ambitious statements aimed at the overall context for what the project is trying
to achieve these objects are consistent and aligned to business goals7
, without clear project objectives
a project will not be successful because Academic
description- - what and why?
The project intends to shed the existing building envelope clear leaving the structure visible to make way for a new
dynamic building envelope.
This new adjustable façade with its daylighting system and ventilation systems will reduce the building reliance on
electricity drawing savings to the campus.
The façade fit out will enhance teaching and staff spaces through the facility increasing the quality of teaching and
learning.
1.3
Critical success factors are elements related to the holistic long term goal of a project. Without critical
success factors its difficult to review the progress of the project and understand whether its trajectory
is positive8
.
The project must meet the sustainability goals outline in the initial work in progress
The project will suffer if the shared d
The project will suffer if the façade becomes high maintenance.
The logistical work carried out on the building must not cause disruption to the surrounding campus.

1.4 ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
Organisational change is a business process aimed at the review and modification of
management structures and processes. Without organisational change business struggle to
adapt and stay relevant in our everchanging business environment9
, essentially it is important
for a business to stay contingent to its task environment just as the environment must behave
with contingence to the business
The project will require review points over its lifecycle, reviews will encompass criticism
related to cost, progress, safety and diligence in preventing the disruption the campus
environment
The university representatives, the design team, the engineers and the construction
managers must maintain clear communication through weekly meeting and direct
skype, job site visits and phone calls.
2 OPTIONS ANALYSIS
2.1 OPTIONS CONSIDERED
Options analysis which leads to the options considered, it is a statistical technique entrenched
in the testing of variations of the project objectives to remove false assumption and to meet
the demand/need/desire of the stakeholders. Options considered should focus on encouraging
innovation throughout the project and most importantly bring the team together with the
work at hand.10 Without Options considered the projected project outcome may not satisfy
the expectations of the stakeholders of the project.
Option A:
Do not commence any retrofit or upgrade to the chamberlain building of The University of
Queensland
Option B:
Remove Current Façade Setout for newly designed façade system that will aid the existing
internal arrangements ventilation and lighting strategies.
Option C:
Implement the new façade and redesign the internal arrangement to allow for the best
teaching and learning accommodations as expected by the University of Queensland.

Option C The full retrofit of the façade and internal redesign is the most viable option to be
evaluated against the following options evaluation criteria shown in the tables in within
section 2.2.
2.2 OPTIONS EVALUATION CRITERIA
Options Evaluation criteria is directed at establishing mutually agreed assumptions for the
project with the intention of democratizing the interest of all the stakeholders, this criteria is
concerned with cost, quality, time and establishing unity amongst all respected parties
concerned with the project. 11
By retrofitting the existing chamberlain building to a sustainably designed structure the
campus will gain a better reputation as a world class institution.
The cost of the retrofit will pay itself off over the buildings life cycle and the University
will save considerably on its power bills.
The retrofit design will enhance learning and teaching outcomes of the students/staff.
The project objectives will be met ahead of schedule in the construction phase.
The construction phase will cause minor disruption to the surrounding areas of the
campus
The project will be completed on the budget originally outline.
The quality work constructed will reflect that initially communicated by the designer.
The retrofit design must appropriate the surrounding context and be aesthetically
pleasing.
2.3 OPTIONS EVALUATION
Options Evaluation criteria is concerned in the critical judgement of project assumptions and
objectives to rank their importance with the project team to establish equally agreed
objectives for the project 12 under the options evaluation criteria
Options Evaluation assesses and ranks the list of options considered through a set of criteria
raised in section 2.2. This list of options considered remove the false assumptions about the
project through the criteria relevant to the project objectives and against the interests of
stakeholders.13

2.4 RECOMMENDED OPTION
A recommended option
The recommended option is the systematically considered outcome produced through the initial
assumptions of the project and weighted and evaluated against the criteria relevant to the project.
The recommended option will reflect the best interest of the stakeholders and represent the most viable
project to be undertaken.
By implementing Option C the full retrofit of the chamberlain building of the University of
Queensland will gain more prestige/ attention than the option B which is of high importance to
Option C will have larger long term benefits to option B due greater improvements in the
buildings design which will raise sustainability goals such as energy usage.
design will reach higher teaching and learning outcomes for the campus compared
to option B due to the internal redesign of classrooms.
Option C will pose larger challenges to time management than option B due to the extensiveness
of the project, however targets can be met with a clear management plan operated by the PM.
Option C is the most ambitious of the options considered which will essentially improves the
stakeholders portfolio, which in turn will encourage more work for them in the future.
Option C ultimately serves the greatest interests to all the stakeholders compared to the other
options considered. The more extensive redesign will reflect the universities interest to be
internationally renown, whilst the challenge of the project in terms of budgeting and time
increasing their business into the future.
3 PROJECT DEFINITION

3.3 SCOPE MANAGEMENT
Is understood as the group of processors that enable a projects scope is accurately interpreted
and charted.16
It is important the Project Manager constructs a Cleary understood schedule to
understand the project scope.
Scope needs to include in the input phase a project management plan, requirements
documentation. Requirements traceability matrix, organisational process assets and
work performance indicators.
It is critical that all stakeholder parties are properly communicated with to comprehend
the scope as a collective and understand their responsibilities across the projects
lifetime.
It is critical that the Project Manager forms the correct processors for the scope so it
can be monitored and controlled properly which will lead to the outcome of the key
deliverables
Success for the project will depend on work performance measures being emplaced on
output, change requests and project management plan updates.
The scope will additionally depend on organisational process assets updates and
project document updates

4.2 PROCUREMENT STRATEGY
Procurement strategy is the means of decreasing and connecting the gap between executive
level plans, policy plans and everyday action. Essentially, they are the long term plans for
ensuring the predicted supply of service as well as goods that are critical to the projects ability
to meet core objectives.

5 BUDGET, PROGRAM AND RISK
5.1 TIMING / PROJECT READINESS
Project readiness is the external methodical inquiry at the range of implementation issues.
Such an evaluation examines the effect to the business, staff and technology as well as
ration of a
project.24

5.2 BUDGET/COST ANALYSIS AND FUNDING STRATEGY
Budget/ cost analysis is an expense that has been considered in advance. In such a scenario
an organisation typically assigns and services fund to the project. An organisation will secure
these funds via their own liquid cash at hand or alternatively they will facilitate credit for the
project. 25
For a comprehensive analysis of materials, labour, consultancy costs
and other costs please refer to the Appendix.

Planned value and earned value appear higher than the project costs of the project
over its lifetime.
- Project performs well over duration not exceeding the cost reserve
- Project cost is not overestimated, adding value to borrowed money for the project.

5.3 RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Strategic risk management is the procedure of identifying, quantifying and mitigating risk.
This affects or is inherent in the business strategy, strategic objectives and strategy
execution.26
Figure 18 : Risk Analysis Table constructed from viu.ca,. (2018). Applied Risk Map Sample. Retrieved 13 March 2018, from
https://www2.viu.ca/riskmanagement/appliedriskmap.asp
Area Goal Risk Level Situation
Consulting Team The consultancy
team does an
excellent job at
communicating
the extent of
project.
Low The full time team involved with the
project is managing well with the
deliverables of the retrofit design.
Contractor Team The construction
team does an
excellent job.
Medium The contracted construction team fails
to meet project milestones and
miscommunicates with consultants.
Solution: Ensure PM and other leads
ensure communication is secure and
teams are properly directed to achieve
milestones
Funding Liquid cash and
credit lines are
adequate to
reach project
milestones &
completion
Medium The building could expand over budget
and the University involved with the
investment may struggle to find the
funds quickly to finish the project on
time.
Solution: Find alternative investors to
supply credit in the interim while
University finds means of funding.
Project Quality The building is
constructed to a
high quality to
the standard the
remainder of
the campus
upholds.
Very High The consultants have done an excellent
job communicating the project but the
construction phase struggles to realise
this standard and produces a very
mediocre building not reflective of the
designers intent.
Solution: Ensure project architect and
other consultants convey correct
quality control.
Project market
fit (a)
The building is
what students &
staff want
(future usage)
Medium The initial usage of the building is solid
but the future projections of tertiary
education market are poor.
Solution: Unforeseen risk.

(initial usage) Solution: Promote the building through
marketing within the Uni.
Supplier The suppliers of
all building
material secure
items and
deliver them on
time and to
agreed cost.
Low Supplier could run out of materials and
fail to deliver on the construction
phase.
Solution: Have alternative suppliers in
case their is an issue so construction is
not halted.
5.4 PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Is applied to a project to best describe the standards and quality techniques to be applied and
numerous responsibilities for accomplishing the needed quality levels during the project. By
implementing such an approach format, composition, derivation, presentation and quality
criteria can be targeted on the project strategy moving forward. 27

5.5 PROJECT COMPLETION STRATEGY
Is the strategy by which an organisation undertakes to ensure project goals and milestones
which lead to the projects completion are met. These strategies are created with the intent of
providing direction to the project.28

5.6 BENEFITS REALISATION PLAN
A benefit is described as a measurable improvement in a result that is considered
advantageous by one or more of the stakeholder involved in the project. Furthermore benefit
realisation is executing and measuring benefits .29 The benefit
realisation plan ensures the project is defined and implemented resulting in the project
outputs.

1. Executive Summary
This document describes the detailed project management plan for the retrofit of the current
UQ psychology building (Chamberlain Building) into a modern and up to date full
functioning learning facility. The PMP follows a successful approval of the previous
presented business case and aims to describe all the required measures to manage and control
this project. The project need stems from the fact that the current facility is old, does not meet
the modern academic needs and does not promote any form of sustainability which also raises
its running costs.
The main objectives of this project are:
1. Enhance the building’s learning and teaching capacities.
2. Upgrade to a more sustainable building
3. Reduce building long term running costs
In order to achieve these objectives the following PMP was developed and designed. The
PMP sets the required management and control procedures for each of the project areas
alongside the template documentation for each process. These procedures were developed in
order to meet the projects general success criteria of cost time and scope.
Project time frame:
The project time frame is divided into three major phases: Review, Implementation and
Commissioning. The first phase of the project is set to commence mid-June 2017 while the
building is set to be handed over March 2021.
Project Cost
The project cost is estimated at a total of 5,228,566 AUD (detailed breakdown appendix L).
This cost includes all phases of the project and takes into account all the required resources,
services and other financial implications as to the total cost. While there is no immediate
revenue expected from this project, the PMP does estimate a project payback period of 17.5
years credited to lower running costs of the new facility.
End Product
Following the successful completion of this project the University of Queensland will be the
owner of a new and modern teaching facility that will serve the long term needs of the faculty
teaching and research staff, alongside a nurturing study environment for all students. The
facility internal and external design will be highly sustainable and will suite the local climate
while capitalising on natural light and energy saving systems. The teaching environment will
GROUP 3 3

include high end acoustical and visual equipment to promote the highest standards of
teaching facilities and promote UQ reputation as a world leading academic institute.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
2. PROJECT NEED
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN FUNCTION
The Project Management plan is a formal approved piece of documentation used to lead both
the project execution and the controls of the project, (PMBOK) essentially it is a how to
document for the PM to coordinate and for the Stakeholders to understand more easily.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
The University, the primary business stakeholder is required to perform upgrades to this
building as it is in its current position non-compliant to the BCA, the Building Code of
Australia. The project sponsor, the university of Queensland should consider this investment
into the Chamberlain building as it enhance the teaching and learning spaces of the building
and get it to the standards witnessed across the campus, raising the prestige of the campus and
increasing its popularity as an institution. The contractors involved should see this as a
opportunity to enhance their portfolio and improve future business.
Due to the technologies introduced to the building the University should expect to see,
substantial savings in electricity costs. Whilst the building upgrades will take up to 31months
and cost over 5 million dollars the expected planned value will exceed that of the costs involved
as illustrated in Figure 17, the Project Performance Report. With the current scope the project
performs well over duration of the project and does not exceed the cost reserve, and the project
cost is not over estimated, adding value to borrowed money for the project. It is also estimated
that the project will recover its costs with the new lighting systems and passive cooling and
ventilation strategies in roughly 17.5years.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
for greater quality teaching in the building. Staff rooms will be more effectively planned out
and learning spaces and communal zones will be more cohesive.
From the upgrade the building should become more utilized by both staffing bodies
and students on a day to day basis
As a result of the upgrade the performance of staff and students should increase,
because of the quality of the learning spaces.
ANTICIPATED BENEFITS
By Implementing the building’s upgrade, the primary sponsor the University of
Queensland will gain more prestige and attention in the years to come after the
building’s construction is completed.
The building upgrade will pose large savings to the university energy grid because of
the sustainable measure emplaced on the design, like the passive strategies of lighting
and cooling and the dynamic façade that shades the building.
The upgrade to the building will raise the quality of teaching due to the redesign of
classroom and staffing spaces.
Due to the nature of how ambitious the project is the stakeholders upon completion
will gain greater exposure, which will improve their future business prospects.
With the sustainable technologies introduced to the building, the project will pay itself
off in 17.5years from the closure point.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
3. SCOPE MANAGEMENT
SCOPE STATEMENT
The scope of the Proposed Building Upgrade Project is to ultimately deliver an effective
transition plan of the chamberlain building located in the St Lucia Campus of the University of
Queensland. The transition is expected to take two years and 9 months, ending in year 2020.
The execution of the project will be successful as the Project Management Office (PMO) will
ensure that project management standards are maintained throughout the lifecycle of the
project. The management standards will be closely reviewed during the achievement processes
of the project aims. This includes:
Disassembling the existing façade
Installation of a sustainably designed façade over existing building
Redesigning the interior of the building
Further project deliverables and exclusions are outlined in appendix B.
The execution of the project will depend on the success the three predetermined phases, Phase
One: Review, Phase Two: Implementation and Phase Three: Commissioning.
This review phase includes the identification of the changes that will occur as a result of
completing the project, the overall impacts of the retrofit, an assessment of the critical success
factor, develop a plan to assure readiness across all dimensions of project and define project
needs with design proposal. This phase is expected to take 1 yeah and 3 months to complete.
The implementation phase consists of signing off the construction documentation, initiating
disassembling procedure and the installation of a newly designed façade. This is to be
completed in 1 year and 3 months.
The commissioning phase is expected to take 3 months, and it’s an execution phase. It allows
the project team to make adjustments where needed and to ensure that the project’s cost,
quality, time and schedules are met.
GROUP 3 10
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS
The project team must adhere to the following assumptions and constraints during the
undertaking of the project.
Budget: The total project budget is approximately $5,250,000. This includes, materials, labour,
inflation, etc, i.e. it’s assumed that $310,166 will be lost due to inflation, (this was calculated).
Regulations and procedure of the University of Queensland: This includes expectations of the
University during the construction procedure, i.e. it’s assumed that the construction phase is
paused during exam periods.
Time and scheduling: The life of the project will be constrained to two years and 8 months.
The scheduling of resources, time and people is assumed to work out as planned, however
unexpected disturbances will cause delays.
Availability of resources (design, construction and monitoring): The resources that are
expected to be consumed during the life cycle of the project are predetermined and are indicated
within the Project Structure (personal involved), Project Schedule Timeline (allowed
timeframe for each project phase) and Work Breakdown Structure (project costs).
The time and cost contingencies were accounted for within the project schedule, project cost
plan and project risk register.
SCOPE CHANGE CONTROL
Project scope changes that affect the main constrains of the project, scheduling, cost and
resources, will be dealt with accordingly to prevent scope creep. The control steps that will be
undertaken during a scope change are, (Association for Project Management, 2018, para. 3):
1. Request: Stakeholder proposes a change. Record change into a change register.
2. Review: Determine change impact on project outputs and benefits. Notify stakeholder
of outcome, (further analysis or rejection.)
3. Assessment: Evaluate options related to change. Estimate impact on plans and
schedules and advice whether change is approved, rejected, deferred or more
information is requested.
GROUP 3 11
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
4. Decision: Management team and stakeholder are advised of assessment outcome. This
processed is followed as indicated previously in the communication management plan
and the configuration management plan.
5. Implementation: The plans and schedules associate with the changes are re-accounted
for then the changes are executed.
GROUP 3 12
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
4. GOVERNANCE
PROJECT ORGANISATION
The project is taking place within the UQ organisation which will appoint dedicated
professionals on its behalf to serve as the project control and management group, this would
be considered a projectized organisational structure (PMBOK, 2013 p 25). The control and
management group will be the effective management authority which will plan and execute all
project activities. The project manager will lead the project control group and is the top
authority for all project activities from planning to execution. The project architect and
organisational manager will collaborate with the project manager as part of the project control
group
The project control group (appendix J) will have four sub groups which will assist in project
management and control:
1. Legal team – Responsible to facilitate all contracts with suppliers and contractors
working on the project.
2. Planning and execution team – Responsible to control and manage the project schedule
activities.
3. Financial team – Responsible to manage and control all financial transactions and
budget.
4. Engineering group – Responsible to plan and control all engineering activities
The project’s construction work will be completed by contractors which will be chosen in
public bids according to the dedicated requirements of each construction stage. As this project
requires a large number of contractors with different qualifications they will all report to the
project operational manager. Each contractor will maintain its own organisational structure and
will have full responsibility and accountability to all activities conducted by their team
members.
PROJECT GOVERNANCE
This project will be governed by the project board which will be composed of representatives
from the key stakeholder groups whom are invested in the project. The project board chairman
will be appointed by the university board of directors and will be responsible to coordinate the
project board activities and decisions with the organizational and project manager. Having key
GROUP 3 13
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
stakeholders from different areas of the project as part of the project board will insure that all
aspects off the project are being controlled and attended.
Primary Project board position allocations:
1. Chairman – Responsible to coordinate board activity, communicate with UQ board of
directors.
2. UQ engineering director – Responsible to control the technical and engineering
activities with the project to meet university standards and expectations.
3. UQ financial director – Member of the UQ finance department which will be allocated
to ensure project budgets are meeting the suggested PMP and following all the
organisation procedures.
4. Psychology Department Director – Responsible to control and verify that the project
meets the needs of students and staff of the Psychology department as defined in the
PMP scope.
5. UQ planner  architect – Responsible to control the alignment of the project with the
existing ‘university environment design and infrastructure.
6. Quality control director – appointed by the UQ board of directors, will be reasonable
to control and verify that the project is standing with in the defined soft and hard
quality standards of the PMP.
7. External Advisor – A project professional which has proven experience as a leading
manager in similar projects and would provide an objective view and consultant to
the board for project issues and decisions.
The project control group will hold quarterly update meetings with the project board and inform
as to following aspects of the project:
Key millstones completed within the last quarter and major activities planned for next
quarter.
Status of project completion in respect to the planned schedule – any variance from the
approved PMP baseline schedule must be followed by justification and detailed
implications to the future schedule.
Status of project budget in respect to planned PMP budget and detailed earned value
analysis.

GOVERNANCE MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Project board will be the authority which approves change requests during the project period.
Any variation from the signed project charter must be assessed and approved via change
request protocol. The change request protocol can be found in section 10 of the report - change
management plan.
The project board will address change requests monthly, in the event of a change request that
has higher urgency and its delay may have significant implications, the project board will be
noticed and respond within 7 days. Furthermore, to allow project management sufficient
independence to manage the dynamic working environment the project board will submit
budget and schedule thresholds which allow the project management team to make
“adjustment” changes without preapproval. These changes must not affect the project critical
path schedule, the allocated budget for that phase and are not authorised to change project
scope. All change requests will be recorded in the change register (appendix K – Change
Request Form) with all supporting documentation and board outcome order.

OTHER RESOURCES
Recruitment should be possible either inside or outside. Inside recruitment includes procuring
from inside an organisation and could have potential advantages. And this particular project,
it is necessary to acquire resources from outside. Material suppliers especially precast
materials in factory should be assembled onsite and that requires skilled workers which can
be outside resources.

GROUP 3 18
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
6. COST MANAGEMENT
BUDGET, REVENUE AND CASH-FLOW REQUIREMENTS
The project will be funded accordingly as per the predetermined phases, which include the
Review Phase, Implementation Phase and Commissioning Phase. Although the project phases
are bound by a specified timeframe, there is only one budget to the whole project. This is due
to interdependencies of certain classifications that may appear during multiple phases. The
project’s timeframes are:
1. Review Phase: April 2018 to June 2019
2. Implementation Phase: July 2019 to September 2020
3. Commissioning Phase: October 2020 to December 2020
Cost contingencies were assigned to the project classifications during the completion of the
cost plan. Each classification was overestimated, within reason, to account for expected
liabilities. For example, this includes overestimating the hourly rates for labourers, material
costs and insurance rates. The budgets for these classifications were regularly monitored to
ensure effective use of resources. Budget provision was primarily considered as part of
inflation.
The project’s cash flow requirements will be met as requested by the Chief Financial Officer
of the project team, who will be responsible for managing and planning the project’s
finances. The idea of revenue doesn’t apply for this type of project; however, a payback
period can be determined to justify the project’s cost.
The cost of the retrofit will pay itself back over the building’s life cycle. The payback period
was determined as follows:
The building’s current total energy consumption is $397,850/year. After the implementation
of the retrofit, the energy consumption will be reduced to $99,462/year. The difference makes
$298,388 and the payback period will be 17.5 years considering that the project’s budget is
$5,228,566.
The project’s cost plan is summarised in table 1 below.

Services 88,000
Consultant’s Fee 53,500
Transportation 25,000
TOTAL 5,228,566
A detailed analysis was performed for each classification, indicating how these costs were
derived.
COST MANAGEMENT PROCESS
“Cost management is concerned with the process of planning and controlling the budget of
a project or business. It includes activities such as planning, estimating, budgeting,
financing, funding, managing, and controlling costs so that the project can be completed
within the approved budget,” (Bouvrie, 2018). In this case, the project team will undertake
the necessary management processes to maintain the approved budget of $5,228,566.
The project costs will be managed by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who will be
reporting to the Project Manager. The project manager will then review the proposed reports
and pass it on to the project control group and then to the University’s Financial Investors.
The organisational structure (figure XX), indicates clearly how authority plays part in
monitoring and controlling the project’s budget. The proposed reports will be in the form of
budget monitoring reports, that will be produced monthly, indicating that a total of thirty-
three reports will be completed over the lifetime of the project.
The cost management processes that will be followed for the project are in lined with The
Project Management Body of Knowledge book:
1. Plan Cost Management
2. Estimate Costs
3. Determine Budget
4. Control Costs
GROUP 3 20

GROUP 3 21
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
7. QUALITY MANAGEMENT
QUALITY REQUIREMENTS (INCL. ENVIRONMENTAL & WHS)
Quality will be ensured through the monitoring of project teams by project managers
and project leads, as illustrated in the Project Reporting structure.
Escalating issues are taken to a higher level of management such as the steering
committee or sponsor to resolve or monitor as illustrated in figure 2 below:
Quality requirements include daily assessments of the construction teams onsite and
whether it is complying to the project schedule set up in the Project Management
Plan.
In the instance that the project team on any level is not aligned with the timing set by
the schedule in the project management plan meeting must be called and updates will
need to be made to the project schedule and any corresponding area of the Project
Management Plan.
The Project Architect is responsible for ensuring quality is achieved in the design
development phase, construction documentation and construction and commissioning
phases, the Architect has the authority over engineers, contracted tradesman and
project managers if project execution becomes mislead.
The Project Manager will liaison with the Project Architect but will also be
responsible for ensuring teams are performing against the time constraints, objectives
and deliverables of the PMP.
Project Team Leaders will be responsible for ensuring weekly project outcomes are
met by the project team in their specific divisions and will report to the Project
Manager in minute meetings

GROUP 3 23
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Quality will also be managed by the implementation of SIPOC to ensure quality
measurements are accurately reached across the project, SIPOC is an effective means of
summarising the inputs and outputs this in turn makes it easier to control quality across the
different project phases, as the processes and outputs achieved to reach the objectives are
compartmentalised, (figure xx).
Project Management Institute. A guide to the project management body of knowledge (2004, PP295,
Para 6)
Quality will be ensured for the project through the development of checklists to
compare quality indicators against deliverables.
If there are variances in the quality of the deliverables due to, cost or schedule
corrective measures will need to be made to the scope and cost and be approved by
the steering committee and Sponsor.
Quality standards of the design intent will be listed and managed by the Architect
Quality standards related to the structure, plant and electrical etc will be listed and
managed by the Engineers specific to the area of concern.

TIME MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The project time management will be controlled and managed by the project planning and
execution team. The key objective of the time management plan is to meet the project
deliverable of commissioning the renovated building by March 2021. To meet this objective a
detailed project schedule will be developed on the basis of the initial schedule (appendix A).
As this deliverable is critical to the success of the project the following actions take place:
Full time project scheduler will be hired and responsible to monitor and update the
ongoing completion of work from planning to project delivery.
The project schedule is developed based on the critical path method (PMBOK, 2013 P
176), this will provide the project management team much needed flexibility while
closely monitoring any changes to the critical path which may delay project
completion.
The main activities duration are estimated using three-point estimating (PMBOK,
2013 P 170) in order to achieve better accuracy and advise a feasible time line.
The project schedule will be implemented and managed via Microsoft Project
software in order to give the project management team and all other project
stakeholders a clear and updated status at all times.
The project schedule is based on the WBS and takes into the account a contingency
allowance of 15 % for the entire project duration. This will allow sufficient time to
implement changes in scope or cope with unexpected delays from the initial baseline.
GROUP 3 26
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Contractor contracts will be based on firm fixed price contracts (FFP) or fixed price
incentive fee contracts (FPIF) (PMBOK, 2013 P 363) in order to meet the planned
construction schedule.
All contractors are to submit a detailed work plan which will be authorized by the
PMO before commencement of work. Contractors work plans must meet the project
schedule.
All change requests which may affect the baseline critical path must be approved by
the project board through the change request protocol.
In cases of unexpected delays fast tracking may be used to compensate on lost times
however as definition it will only be approved after a comprehensive risk analysis to
the implications of starting the next task before completing the prior.
Schedule will be reviewed and adjusted at the end of each week at a dedicated 30-
minute meeting including the planning and execution team with the PM and any other
relevant personal to that phase of activities.

STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Project stakeholder management can be defined as “the systematic identification, analysis and
planning of actions to communicate with and influence stakeholders” as per PMI (2004).
Stakeholders in the project is identified, also their interest in the project is determined first to
plan and control their action which effect the project in different stages of construction. By
adopting stakeholder management strategies to beat the issues which may arise due to
personal interest of stakeholders

10. COMMUNICATION AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT
COMMUNICATION PLAN
The communication plan for this project is aimed to meet and structure all the information
flow within the different project groups.
Communication plan main objectives:
Create effective communications streams between collaborating parties.
Establish procedures to transfer and review critical information.
Provide an updated project data base which will allow users to pull relevant
information.
Identify project stakeholders and define suitable communication methods.
The project communication schedule and management plan (Appendix D) details the major
reoccurring communication procedures. This plan will be monitored and managed by the
planning and execution team. The PMO will manage and update the project data base which
will contain all the project administrative and technical documentation so that information
will be highly accessible. (table XX)

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Communication guidelines:
All meetings will have a detailed agenda and time limit.
Meeting notes and all technical documentation to be updated to the project data
base.
Project data base will be managed by the PMO and constructed so that information
will be transparent and easily accessible.
Minimise written e-mail correspondence to the effective and relevant matter.
Prefer direct communication via phone or face to face rather than electronic
correspondence.
Safety incidents or updates are to be communicated immediately to all team leaders
which will reply by written confirmation once all employees have been updated.
All communication with contractors must be coordinated with the operational
manager
CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The change management plan aims to layout one structured procedure that will process changes in
the project. The main objectives of the change management plan are:
I. Preventing scope creep.
II. Verifying that changes in scope do not collide with project deliverables.
III. Controlling changing budget requirements.
IV. Contorting and adjusting schedule to actual completion status.
V. Approving changes with key stakeholders and project owners.
VI. Communicating changes to project team and management.
All change requests will be conducted according to the following protocol:
1. Submitting detailed change request via change request form (Appendix K) to PMO with all
supporting documentation.
2. PMO to discuss change request with the issuing body and any other relevant management
teams.
3. PMO to conclude summery of the change implications on the PMP and advise its
recommendations for action to project board.
4. Project board to review the change request and PMO recommendation.
GROUP 3 31
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
5. Project board will issue a signed change request outcome.
6. PMO will distribute the outcome of the change request to requesting parties and all other
parties which are affected by the approved change.
7. Change will be documented in the change register and updated to project database.
8. PMO to revise and implement changes into the PMP.
It is noted here that while the change management plan lays out the procedures for necessary
changes throughout the life of the project, each change still needs to be carefully evaluated before
request including a mandatory inclusive risk assessment as to the implications of each change.
Furthermore, as part of the change management plan, project board will designate time and cost
buffers which do not require preapproval for change and that is to provide the project manager with
the operational freedom required for running the ongoing work. It is also noted that contingency
funds are implemented to the project budget and are aimed to allow required changes while
remaining within the total budget for the project.
COMMUNICATIONS AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The administrative manager is responsible for controlling the communication and change
management process. The communication plan will be structured into the project schedule
meaning all the planed reoccurring communication activities are to be embedded into each of
the project teams and mangers personal schedules. The administrative office will keep track
of attendance and outcomes from each of the conducted communication events. Furthermore,
the communication plan will be reviewed once a quarter according to feedback from the
project teams in the form of work performance reports (PMBOK 2013, P 93). Reviewing and
adjusting the communication process will ensure that effective communication methods are
reinforced while distractions and ineffective procedures are replaced. The project data base
will serve as an information management system (PMBOK 2013 P300) and will assist in
controlling all electronic communications including e-mails, status reports and meeting
memos. The stakeholder communication register will also be used to ensure that each of the
key project stakeholders is receiving the relevant information. All change requests will be
recorded and documented in the change register. After each section of the change request
form (Appendix K) it will be signed and submitted to the PMO office which will follow up to
the next stage. The administrative office will give public written notice by e-mail as to the
outcomes of change requests and the followed adjustments to the PMP, schedule or budget
allocation.

11. RISK MANAGEMENT
RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
The risks associated with the Proposed Building Upgrade project, will be identified and
managed as recognised by the Australian Risk Management Standard. The project’s Risk
Management Plan will follow that of the Detailed Risk Management Process, figure xx.
Initially, the context is established, meaning that the situation is recognised. For example, the
context could be removing the existing structure. The second step to the plan is to identify the
risks associated with removing the existing structure. The risks are then analysed, meaning
that risk controls, consequences, risk level and likelihoods are documented. The fourth step to
the process, is so evaluate the risks identified, and decide whether they’re treatable or not. If
they are, the risks are finally treated, indicating that the proposed options to minimise/
eliminate the risks are implemented before or during the establishment of the context. Each
step of the process is monitored, reviewed and discussed amongst the designated personnel in
charge of managing the project risks.
Figure 4: Detailed Risk Management Process, (AS/NZS 4360:2004).
GROUP 3 33
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The project’s risks will be managed by all members of the project team, to ensure that the
project deliverables are implemented effectively. Risk management will be a top priority to
the project, as risks have a significant effect on the project’s budget, schedule and scope. A
number risks and opportunities were identified, analysed, evaluated and treated as part of the
proposed risk management plan/ risk register section in appendix F.
The risk management plan was conducted prior to the construction phase of the project. The
members of the project team had several meetings discussing possible risks associated with
the project as part of a process called review and identification of risks process.
Several similar projects were studied, and the apparent risks were reviewed and compared to
the Proposed Building Upgrade Project risks. The similarities were noted down.
The next step to the process was analysing the proposed risks. This was conducted
qualitatively and quantitively by the members of the team. The team members were
responsible on assessing the risks associated with their own individualised skill sets. For
example, the architect analysed the risks associated with the design, the Chief Financial
Officer was responsible for analysing the Financial Risks and the Construction Manager was
responsible for analysing the risks involved in the construction process.
The evaluation of the project risks was performed as a team, to ensure correct prioritising
procedures are implemented. The project manager was in charge of ensuring that the
proposed solutions or risk management strategies are implemented during the implementation
phase.
The project risks register, was made available to all members of the project team, to track,
monitor and review at all times. It’s altered and updated by the team members during
meetings, when risk priorities are changed.

12. CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT
PROCUREMENT PLAN
The project procurement Plan for this project focus on acquiring goods and services which
includes Architect, engineers, carpenters, building materials, plumbers, painters, construction
machineries, construction workers, approvals from regional regulatory bodies and
government. These are obtained according to the schedule
The Project Manager will give oversight and administration to all acquirement required under
this project. The Project Manager will work with the project team to recognize all things to be
acquired for the successful delivery of the project. The Project Management Office (PMO)
will then audit the obtainment list preceding submitting it to the contracts department. The
department then review obtainment things, decide if it is worthwhile to make or purchase the
things, and start the seller determination, buying and the contracting procedure.
PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The procurement management process comprises of numerous means and in addition
continuous administration of all obtainment exercises and contracts. In this process, our
objective must be to improve acquisition administration by every fundamental mean with a
specific end goal to encourage effective completion of our project. To help in disentangling
these project, we will utilize standard documentation for all means of the obtainment
administration process. These standard reports have been produced and changed over a time
of numerous years with an end goal to consistently enhance obtainment endeavours. (figure

COMMISSIONING PLAN
The commissioning plan is a procedure for ensuring that all components and systems of the
building are designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained to a level appropriate for the
operational requirements of the final owner.
The commissioning procedure plan, (table xx) will involve testing and procedural checks and
inspects of all the operational components of the project. These include the technologies
introduced with the integrated façade system such as the electric pivoting shade panels and the
pivoting planter boxes, lighting control for the building, as well as ventilation and generators.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
PROJECT COMMISSIONING PROCESS
The primary objective of commissioning the building to allow for the orderly and safe handover
of the building project to the owner, this is effectively pursued through the guarantee of its
operability in terms of its performance, reliability safeness and the traceability of building
information to the new owners. Commissioning should reflect the finalisation and fulfilment
of schedule, cost, safety and the quality requirements of the building, (Young, G, 2005, para
3).
1. BENDIKSEN, T., YOUNG, G. Commissioning of Offshore Oil and Gas Projects: The Manager's Handbook, AuthorHouse Publishers,
2005.
The commissioning process will come as a series of checkoffs and inspections by those
involved with the design and construction of the building, this involves the clear
communication between the project team such as:
The Architect
Project Manager
Operations representatives
Technical Experts
Construction Managers
Commissioning Agencies
Engineering Teams
These teams will be required to conduct tests to specific components, elements and buildings
systems they were assigned to, to ensure they are functional and operated by the building
owners. The commission will involve guides and handbooks to the prospective owners on how
to operate and maintain building components as well as elements and systems in a safe and
appropriate manner. Below figure x, exemplifies the commissioning process:

parameters have been met accordingly to obtain the acceptance of stakeholders. Over the
course of the project it is recommended that the project managers and the stakeholders have a
well-documented criteria of performance indicators in place from the initial phase of the
project to close out. The objective of the document is to ensure the requirements and specs
are measurable against a set of criteria, ideally these criteria are measurable and clear, not
subjective. Table xxx indicates a suitable handover checklist to allow for project finalisation,

Provider(s):
The building Warranty is designed and administered by the Construction Manager and is
supported, verified and approved by the Architect, Project Manager, Engineers, contractors
and other personnel liable for the quality and execution of the construction and
commissioning of the building.
Coverage:
The building warranty ensures that the final owners have the correct cover for the building, the
warranty ensures a level of quality is maintained and covered for a two-year period as a general
rule. Some components of the building will fall under a shorter category of warranty such as
the materials such as interior wall framing, and finishes completed by the contracted tradesman,
other building components like doors and windows will have their own separate warranties that
differ from this document that will be provided in the project handover by the Project Manager.
Defects:
The client will have two pathways of identifying defective works, (QBCC, defective work
disputes (2017, Para 2), these fall under:
Structural Defects include but are not limited to: leaking roofs, leaking plumbing,
health and safety issues
Non- structural Defects include but are not limited to: Sticking doors or windows,
and minor cracking to plasterboard of walls.
Structural warranties, finishing and product warranties will be voided in the instance of
additional renovation(s) or construction that tamper the materials, components and systems
initially commissioned as part of the refurbishment.
Additional Warranty Items- (Service Contract):
Service Contract- The service contract will be administered with the Project Handover, the
purpose of the service contract is for the navigation and resolution of complex warranty
issues, capturing warranty information pertaining to maintenance and servicing of equipment,

components and building systems. This is an additional document to the warranty structure
for the building and captures the predictable service requirements for the equipment,
components and building systems and establishes a lifecycle for the object, to ensure the
building owners are aware of when equipment requires servicing or replacement.
PROJECT CLOSE-OUT REPORT/PLAN
The objective of the project close out is to review the project and ensure it completion, this
often comes in the form of lessons learned documents and best practices to be applied to
future projects. A detailed project report can be found in appendix H.
The project closeout for the building upgrade will consist of two main activity groups these
include, administrative closeout and contract closure, both of these closeout documents can
be found in appendix H.
Project Commissioning Plan
Management Effectiveness:
The project and the needs of the customer we prioritized effectively throughout the delivery of
the project this was ascertained by clearly discernible stakeholder management and
communication, which ultimately lead the collective objectives of the Project team and vision
of the steering committee be realised. Over the duration of the project there were a series of
project delays these grew out of the delivery of equipment, permits and delays with staff, whilst
most of these variances were anticipated and accounted for they did impact the final
commissioning schedule, (appendix I), and effect the project budget; however the cost and
variances would have been far more substantial in the instance of scope creep. These delays
can be seen a necessary risk as delays were initiated as a protective measure to regulating
building and quality compliance across the job project. In the instance that the delays were not
implemented it is quite likely that Management would risk both the safety of the project team,
specifically the construction crews and the quality of the build, which would of alternatively
would of resulted in catastrophic consequences in terms of building fines and the amendment
of building works that were not hypothetically compliant.
Lessons Learned:
GROUP 3 45
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
A major issue of the project which lead to cascading delays across the construction phase of
the project was the delivery of building materials, necessary equipment and delays in qualified
staff. Often, it’s very difficult to have a fiscal control of these factors, however it would be
recommended in the future it would be recommended to store more of the materials on site for
longer duration to reduce variances in delivery of goods. In addition, it would be recommended
to have a more rigid boundaries for the stakeholders as a protective measure to ensure they
complete their contracted duties on time and the effective standard.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Administrative Closure- The administrative closure process aims to define the activities,
exchanges and related roles and responsibilities within the project team and any other
stakeholders on the project participating in the administrative closure procedures for the
project.
To execute the administrative closure process involves gathering project records, lessons
learned data, services or products, archiving project information and analysing the project’s
success or failures. This project information needs to be gathered for the future use of the
building owner(s)
As part of the completion of administrative closure the project team will be required to
provide documents supporting:
The project has met all sponsors, customer and stakeholder requirements
Verifying that all the deliverables have been delivered and accepted
Validating exit criteria have been met.
Contract Closure- The contract closure includes activities and interactions required to finalize
and close any contract agreements established for the project. The Contract closure document
also consists of any documents supporting the formal administrative closure of the project.
The Contract closure is verification documents that prove that all the work has been completed
in a satisfactory and correct manner, the project manager will be required to update contract
records to reflect the final completed result of the building upgrade. The information will be
archived for the future use of tenants.
The contract closure includes:
The confirmation that the project has addressed the terms and conditions of the
contracts
Confirms and validates completion of exit criteria for the contract closure

  • 5. Proposed Building Upgrade EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The University of Queensland is growing as a campus and greater demands are being placed on the learning and teaching outcomes of staff and the facilities on campus. The proposed retrofit will revitalise the old and ineffective chamberlain building into a world class learning facility targeted at reaching the aims mentioned prior. 1 The project will consider and redesign both the internal and external spaces of the chamberlain building providing outstanding teaching spaces and sustainable solutions to the existing building,2 such a change that will incur power savings into the future. proposal should be selected over the market competitors for such a project because the business case considers every aspect of the project and its lifecycle with highly effective and positive outcomes for all the stakeholders involved. Such a project will not only stimulate the campus culture it will provide a multitude of jobs both fixed and temporary. The project will require the skills of many bright minds ranging from Architects, Civil. Hydraulics, electrical and mechanical engineers, contractors and so forth shown in section 4.1.1 of the project structure.3 Of course the cost of the project will be considerable however its positive impact will of course be greater, stimulating learning and teaching opportunities for UQ Psychology Department 4 for many years to come. In order for the project to be a great success many considerations need to be made, these include programming the project into phases improving timing, and budget, communication5 management between stakeholders also need to be taken into attention just as governance and structure are important for the projects success. ` 1.

  • 10. Proposed Building Upgrade Business Case 8 1 PROJECT NEED 1.1 PROJECT NEED The project need is the initial step in a project timeline before considering resources and the goals intended, without a project need the direction of the project is unclear, 6 all projects must start with a means of explaining what they are and why they are significant to make happen. The project is large scale retrofit design for an existing institutional building located at the University of Queensland, the retrofit will give the building new life and purpose for both students and staff on the St Lucia Campus. The project needs to take place because the current building is non compliant and performs poorly against sustainability and energy goals emplaced by the uni. Additionally the building in its current state is under- utilized and performs inadequately to the teaching standards at UQ 1.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES Project Objectives are ambitious statements aimed at the overall context for what the project is trying to achieve these objects are consistent and aligned to business goals7 , without clear project objectives a project will not be successful because Academic description- - what and why? The project intends to shed the existing building envelope clear leaving the structure visible to make way for a new dynamic building envelope. This new adjustable façade with its daylighting system and ventilation systems will reduce the building reliance on electricity drawing savings to the campus. The façade fit out will enhance teaching and staff spaces through the facility increasing the quality of teaching and learning. 1.3 Critical success factors are elements related to the holistic long term goal of a project. Without critical success factors its difficult to review the progress of the project and understand whether its trajectory is positive8 . The project must meet the sustainability goals outline in the initial work in progress The project will suffer if the shared d The project will suffer if the façade becomes high maintenance. The logistical work carried out on the building must not cause disruption to the surrounding campus. 6 .Cio.com,. (2015). How to Define the scope of a project.

  • 11. Business Case 1.4 ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE Organisational change is a business process aimed at the review and modification of management structures and processes. Without organisational change business struggle to adapt and stay relevant in our everchanging business environment9 , essentially it is important for a business to stay contingent to its task environment just as the environment must behave with contingence to the business The project will require review points over its lifecycle, reviews will encompass criticism related to cost, progress, safety and diligence in preventing the disruption the campus environment The university representatives, the design team, the engineers and the construction managers must maintain clear communication through weekly meeting and direct skype, job site visits and phone calls. 2 OPTIONS ANALYSIS 2.1 OPTIONS CONSIDERED Options analysis which leads to the options considered, it is a statistical technique entrenched in the testing of variations of the project objectives to remove false assumption and to meet the demand/need/desire of the stakeholders. Options considered should focus on encouraging innovation throughout the project and most importantly bring the team together with the work at hand.10 Without Options considered the projected project outcome may not satisfy the expectations of the stakeholders of the project. Option A: Do not commence any retrofit or upgrade to the chamberlain building of The University of Queensland Option B: Remove Current Façade Setout for newly designed façade system that will aid the existing internal arrangements ventilation and lighting strategies. Option C: Implement the new façade and redesign the internal arrangement to allow for the best teaching and learning accommodations as expected by the University of Queensland. 9.

  • 13. Proposed Building Upgrade Business Case 11 Aesthetics No Impact Visual appearance of façade will create significant positive attention for the Uni Visual appearance of façade will create significant positive attention for the Uni Option C The full retrofit of the façade and internal redesign is the most viable option to be evaluated against the following options evaluation criteria shown in the tables in within section 2.2. 2.2 OPTIONS EVALUATION CRITERIA Options Evaluation criteria is directed at establishing mutually agreed assumptions for the project with the intention of democratizing the interest of all the stakeholders, this criteria is concerned with cost, quality, time and establishing unity amongst all respected parties concerned with the project. 11 By retrofitting the existing chamberlain building to a sustainably designed structure the campus will gain a better reputation as a world class institution. The cost of the retrofit will pay itself off over the buildings life cycle and the University will save considerably on its power bills. The retrofit design will enhance learning and teaching outcomes of the students/staff. The project objectives will be met ahead of schedule in the construction phase. The construction phase will cause minor disruption to the surrounding areas of the campus The project will be completed on the budget originally outline. The quality work constructed will reflect that initially communicated by the designer. The retrofit design must appropriate the surrounding context and be aesthetically pleasing. 2.3 OPTIONS EVALUATION Options Evaluation criteria is concerned in the critical judgement of project assumptions and objectives to rank their importance with the project team to establish equally agreed objectives for the project 12 under the options evaluation criteria Options Evaluation assesses and ranks the list of options considered through a set of criteria raised in section 2.2. This list of options considered remove the false assumptions about the project through the criteria relevant to the project objectives and against the interests of stakeholders.13 11.

The recommended option will reflect the best interest of the stakeholders and represent the most viable project to be undertaken. By implementing Option C the full retrofit of the chamberlain building of the University of Queensland will gain more prestige/ attention than the option B which is of high importance to Option C will have larger long term benefits to option B due greater improvements in the buildings design which will raise sustainability goals such as energy usage. design will reach higher teaching and learning outcomes for the campus compared to option B due to the internal redesign of classrooms. Option C will pose larger challenges to time management than option B due to the extensiveness of the project, however targets can be met with a clear management plan operated by the PM. Option C is the most ambitious of the options considered which will essentially improves the stakeholders portfolio, which in turn will encourage more work for them in the future. Option C ultimately serves the greatest interests to all the stakeholders compared to the other options considered. The more extensive redesign will reflect the universities interest to be internationally renown, whilst the challenge of the project in terms of budgeting and time increasing their business into the future. 3 PROJECT DEFINITION 3.1 SCOPE DESCRIPTION Aims to address the deliverables of a project, identify constrains and assumptions as well as key success factors via a summary. Without a scope description it is difficult to appreciate the intent of the project and the needs and outcomes. 14 The project aims to disassemble the existing façade safely The project aims to install a new sustainably designed façade over the exiting building.

Dependencies are connections between tasks that factor the order by which activities are required to perform. 15 The project is constrained to the budget. The project is constrained to the regulations and procedures of the University Campus The project is constrained by the timing of the project schedule. The project is constrained by the resources made available to construct, design and monitor the project. The project depends on the skills of the construction team The project depends on the team work of the stakeholders The project depends on the effectiveness of the Project Manager The project depends on the financial resources set in place by the stakeholders. 3.3 SCOPE MANAGEMENT Is understood as the group of processors that enable a projects scope is accurately interpreted and charted.16 It is important the Project Manager constructs a Cleary understood schedule to understand the project scope. Scope needs to include in the input phase a project management plan, requirements documentation. Requirements traceability matrix, organisational process assets and work performance indicators. It is critical that all stakeholder parties are properly communicated with to comprehend the scope as a collective and understand their responsibilities across the projects lifetime. It is critical that the Project Manager forms the correct processors for the scope so it can be monitored and controlled properly which will lead to the outcome of the key deliverables Success for the project will depend on work performance measures being emplaced on output, change requests and project management plan updates. The scope will additionally depend on organisational process assets updates and project document updates 14. pmi-nnv.org,. ( 2007). Document Repository.

Low The full time team involved with the project is managing well with the deliverables of the retrofit design. Contractor Team The construction team does an excellent job. Medium The contracted construction team fails to meet project milestones and miscommunicates with consultants. Solution: Ensure PM and other leads ensure communication is secure and teams are properly directed to achieve milestones Funding Liquid cash and credit lines are adequate to reach project milestones & completion Medium The building could expand over budget and the University involved with the investment may struggle to find the funds quickly to finish the project on time. Solution: Find alternative investors to supply credit in the interim while University finds means of funding. Project Quality The building is constructed to a high quality to the standard the remainder of the campus upholds. Very High The consultants have done an excellent job communicating the project but the construction phase struggles to realise this standard and produces a very mediocre building not reflective of the designers intent.

Executive Summary This document describes the detailed project management plan for the retrofit of the current UQ psychology building (Chamberlain Building) into a modern and up to date full functioning learning facility. The PMP follows a successful approval of the previous presented business case and aims to describe all the required measures to manage and control this project. The project need stems from the fact that the current facility is old, does not meet the modern academic needs and does not promote any form of sustainability which also raises its running costs. The main objectives of this project are: 1. Enhance the building’s learning and teaching capacities. 2. Upgrade to a more sustainable building 3. Reduce building long term running costs In order to achieve these objectives the following PMP was developed and designed. The PMP sets the required management and control procedures for each of the project areas alongside the template documentation for each process. These procedures were developed in order to meet the projects general success criteria of cost time and scope. Project time frame: The project time frame is divided into three major phases: Review, Implementation and Commissioning. The first phase of the project is set to commence mid-June 2017 while the building is set to be handed over March 2021. Project Cost The project cost is estimated at a total of 5,228,566 AUD (detailed breakdown appendix L). This cost includes all phases of the project and takes into account all the required resources, services and other financial implications as to the total cost. While there is no immediate revenue expected from this project, the PMP does estimate a project payback period of 17.5 years credited to lower running costs of the new facility. End Product Following the successful completion of this project the University of Queensland will be the owner of a new and modern teaching facility that will serve the long term needs of the faculty teaching and research staff, alongside a nurturing study environment for all students. The facility internal and external design will be highly sustainable and will suite the local climate while capitalising on natural light and energy saving systems. The teaching environment will

  • 46. GROUP 3 6 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 2. PROJECT NEED PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN FUNCTION The Project Management plan is a formal approved piece of documentation used to lead both the project execution and the controls of the project, (PMBOK) essentially it is a how to document for the PM to coordinate and for the Stakeholders to understand more easily. BUSINESS OBJECTIVES The University, the primary business stakeholder is required to perform upgrades to this building as it is in its current position non-compliant to the BCA, the Building Code of Australia. The project sponsor, the university of Queensland should consider this investment into the Chamberlain building as it enhance the teaching and learning spaces of the building and get it to the standards witnessed across the campus, raising the prestige of the campus and increasing its popularity as an institution. The contractors involved should see this as a opportunity to enhance their portfolio and improve future business. Due to the technologies introduced to the building the University should expect to see, substantial savings in electricity costs. Whilst the building upgrades will take up to 31months and cost over 5 million dollars the expected planned value will exceed that of the costs involved as illustrated in Figure 17, the Project Performance Report. With the current scope the project performs well over duration of the project and does not exceed the cost reserve, and the project cost is not over estimated, adding value to borrowed money for the project. It is also estimated that the project will recover its costs with the new lighting systems and passive cooling and ventilation strategies in roughly 17.5years.

  • 48. GROUP 3 8 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN for greater quality teaching in the building. Staff rooms will be more effectively planned out and learning spaces and communal zones will be more cohesive. From the upgrade the building should become more utilized by both staffing bodies and students on a day to day basis As a result of the upgrade the performance of staff and students should increase, because of the quality of the learning spaces. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS By Implementing the building’s upgrade, the primary sponsor the University of Queensland will gain more prestige and attention in the years to come after the building’s construction is completed. The building upgrade will pose large savings to the university energy grid because of the sustainable measure emplaced on the design, like the passive strategies of lighting and cooling and the dynamic façade that shades the building. The upgrade to the building will raise the quality of teaching due to the redesign of classroom and staffing spaces. Due to the nature of how ambitious the project is the stakeholders upon completion will gain greater exposure, which will improve their future business prospects. With the sustainable technologies introduced to the building, the project will pay itself off in 17.5years from the closure point.
  • 49. GROUP 3 9 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 3. SCOPE MANAGEMENT SCOPE STATEMENT The scope of the Proposed Building Upgrade Project is to ultimately deliver an effective transition plan of the chamberlain building located in the St Lucia Campus of the University of Queensland. The transition is expected to take two years and 9 months, ending in year 2020. The execution of the project will be successful as the Project Management Office (PMO) will ensure that project management standards are maintained throughout the lifecycle of the project. The management standards will be closely reviewed during the achievement processes of the project aims. This includes: Disassembling the existing façade Installation of a sustainably designed façade over existing building Redesigning the interior of the building Further project deliverables and exclusions are outlined in appendix B. The execution of the project will depend on the success the three predetermined phases, Phase One: Review, Phase Two: Implementation and Phase Three: Commissioning. This review phase includes the identification of the changes that will occur as a result of completing the project, the overall impacts of the retrofit, an assessment of the critical success factor, develop a plan to assure readiness across all dimensions of project and define project needs with design proposal. This phase is expected to take 1 yeah and 3 months to complete. The implementation phase consists of signing off the construction documentation, initiating disassembling procedure and the installation of a newly designed façade. This is to be completed in 1 year and 3 months. The commissioning phase is expected to take 3 months, and it’s an execution phase. It allows the project team to make adjustments where needed and to ensure that the project’s cost, quality, time and schedules are met.
  • 50. GROUP 3 10 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS The project team must adhere to the following assumptions and constraints during the undertaking of the project. Budget: The total project budget is approximately $5,250,000. This includes, materials, labour, inflation, etc, i.e. it’s assumed that $310,166 will be lost due to inflation, (this was calculated). Regulations and procedure of the University of Queensland: This includes expectations of the University during the construction procedure, i.e. it’s assumed that the construction phase is paused during exam periods. Time and scheduling: The life of the project will be constrained to two years and 8 months. The scheduling of resources, time and people is assumed to work out as planned, however unexpected disturbances will cause delays. Availability of resources (design, construction and monitoring): The resources that are expected to be consumed during the life cycle of the project are predetermined and are indicated within the Project Structure (personal involved), Project Schedule Timeline (allowed timeframe for each project phase) and Work Breakdown Structure (project costs). The time and cost contingencies were accounted for within the project schedule, project cost plan and project risk register. SCOPE CHANGE CONTROL Project scope changes that affect the main constrains of the project, scheduling, cost and resources, will be dealt with accordingly to prevent scope creep. The control steps that will be undertaken during a scope change are, (Association for Project Management, 2018, para. 3): 1. Request: Stakeholder proposes a change. Record change into a change register. 2. Review: Determine change impact on project outputs and benefits. Notify stakeholder of outcome, (further analysis or rejection.) 3. Assessment: Evaluate options related to change. Estimate impact on plans and schedules and advice whether change is approved, rejected, deferred or more information is requested.
  • 51. GROUP 3 11 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 4. Decision: Management team and stakeholder are advised of assessment outcome. This processed is followed as indicated previously in the communication management plan and the configuration management plan. 5. Implementation: The plans and schedules associate with the changes are re-accounted for then the changes are executed.
  • 52. GROUP 3 12 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 4. GOVERNANCE PROJECT ORGANISATION The project is taking place within the UQ organisation which will appoint dedicated professionals on its behalf to serve as the project control and management group, this would be considered a projectized organisational structure (PMBOK, 2013 p 25). The control and management group will be the effective management authority which will plan and execute all project activities. The project manager will lead the project control group and is the top authority for all project activities from planning to execution. The project architect and organisational manager will collaborate with the project manager as part of the project control group The project control group (appendix J) will have four sub groups which will assist in project management and control: 1. Legal team – Responsible to facilitate all contracts with suppliers and contractors working on the project. 2. Planning and execution team – Responsible to control and manage the project schedule activities. 3. Financial team – Responsible to manage and control all financial transactions and budget. 4. Engineering group – Responsible to plan and control all engineering activities The project’s construction work will be completed by contractors which will be chosen in public bids according to the dedicated requirements of each construction stage. As this project requires a large number of contractors with different qualifications they will all report to the project operational manager. Each contractor will maintain its own organisational structure and will have full responsibility and accountability to all activities conducted by their team members. PROJECT GOVERNANCE This project will be governed by the project board which will be composed of representatives from the key stakeholder groups whom are invested in the project. The project board chairman will be appointed by the university board of directors and will be responsible to coordinate the project board activities and decisions with the organizational and project manager. Having key
  • 53. GROUP 3 13 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN stakeholders from different areas of the project as part of the project board will insure that all aspects off the project are being controlled and attended. Primary Project board position allocations: 1. Chairman – Responsible to coordinate board activity, communicate with UQ board of directors. 2. UQ engineering director – Responsible to control the technical and engineering activities with the project to meet university standards and expectations. 3. UQ financial director – Member of the UQ finance department which will be allocated to ensure project budgets are meeting the suggested PMP and following all the organisation procedures. 4. Psychology Department Director – Responsible to control and verify that the project meets the needs of students and staff of the Psychology department as defined in the PMP scope. 5. UQ planner architect – Responsible to control the alignment of the project with the existing ‘university environment design and infrastructure. 6. Quality control director – appointed by the UQ board of directors, will be reasonable to control and verify that the project is standing with in the defined soft and hard quality standards of the PMP. 7. External Advisor – A project professional which has proven experience as a leading manager in similar projects and would provide an objective view and consultant to the board for project issues and decisions. The project control group will hold quarterly update meetings with the project board and inform as to following aspects of the project: Key millstones completed within the last quarter and major activities planned for next quarter. Status of project completion in respect to the planned schedule – any variance from the approved PMP baseline schedule must be followed by justification and detailed implications to the future schedule. Status of project budget in respect to planned PMP budget and detailed earned value analysis.
  • 54. GROUP 3 14 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Quality measurable objectives or deliverable success criteria that have been achieved. Health and safety incidents. Summary of change requests and status submitted. Any additional information that requires the project board’s approval of guidance for the future phases of the project. GOVERNANCE MANAGEMENT PROCESS Project board will be the authority which approves change requests during the project period. Any variation from the signed project charter must be assessed and approved via change request protocol. The change request protocol can be found in section 10 of the report - change management plan. The project board will address change requests monthly, in the event of a change request that has higher urgency and its delay may have significant implications, the project board will be noticed and respond within 7 days. Furthermore, to allow project management sufficient independence to manage the dynamic working environment the project board will submit budget and schedule thresholds which allow the project management team to make “adjustment” changes without preapproval. These changes must not affect the project critical path schedule, the allocated budget for that phase and are not authorised to change project scope. All change requests will be recorded in the change register (appendix K – Change Request Form) with all supporting documentation and board outcome order.

  • 58. GROUP 3 18 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 6. COST MANAGEMENT BUDGET, REVENUE AND CASH-FLOW REQUIREMENTS The project will be funded accordingly as per the predetermined phases, which include the Review Phase, Implementation Phase and Commissioning Phase. Although the project phases are bound by a specified timeframe, there is only one budget to the whole project. This is due to interdependencies of certain classifications that may appear during multiple phases. The project’s timeframes are: 1. Review Phase: April 2018 to June 2019 2. Implementation Phase: July 2019 to September 2020 3. Commissioning Phase: October 2020 to December 2020 Cost contingencies were assigned to the project classifications during the completion of the cost plan. Each classification was overestimated, within reason, to account for expected liabilities. For example, this includes overestimating the hourly rates for labourers, material costs and insurance rates. The budgets for these classifications were regularly monitored to ensure effective use of resources. Budget provision was primarily considered as part of inflation. The project’s cash flow requirements will be met as requested by the Chief Financial Officer of the project team, who will be responsible for managing and planning the project’s finances. The idea of revenue doesn’t apply for this type of project; however, a payback period can be determined to justify the project’s cost. The cost of the retrofit will pay itself back over the building’s life cycle. The payback period was determined as follows: The building’s current total energy consumption is $397,850/year. After the implementation of the retrofit, the energy consumption will be reduced to $99,462/year. The difference makes $298,388 and the payback period will be 17.5 years considering that the project’s budget is $5,228,566. The project’s cost plan is summarised in table 1 below.

COST MANAGEMENT PROCESS “Cost management is concerned with the process of planning and controlling the budget of a project or business. It includes activities such as planning, estimating, budgeting, financing, funding, managing, and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget,” (Bouvrie, 2018). In this case, the project team will undertake the necessary management processes to maintain the approved budget of $5,228,566. The project costs will be managed by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who will be reporting to the Project Manager. The project manager will then review the proposed reports and pass it on to the project control group and then to the University’s Financial Investors. The organisational structure (figure XX), indicates clearly how authority plays part in monitoring and controlling the project’s budget. The proposed reports will be in the form of budget monitoring reports, that will be produced monthly, indicating that a total of thirty- three reports will be completed over the lifetime of the project. The cost management processes that will be followed for the project are in lined with The Project Management Body of Knowledge book: 1. Plan Cost Management 2. Estimate Costs 3. Determine Budget 4. Control Costs

  • 61. GROUP 3 21 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 7. QUALITY MANAGEMENT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS (INCL. ENVIRONMENTAL & WHS) Quality will be ensured through the monitoring of project teams by project managers and project leads, as illustrated in the Project Reporting structure. Escalating issues are taken to a higher level of management such as the steering committee or sponsor to resolve or monitor as illustrated in figure 2 below: Quality requirements include daily assessments of the construction teams onsite and whether it is complying to the project schedule set up in the Project Management Plan. In the instance that the project team on any level is not aligned with the timing set by the schedule in the project management plan meeting must be called and updates will need to be made to the project schedule and any corresponding area of the Project Management Plan. The Project Architect is responsible for ensuring quality is achieved in the design development phase, construction documentation and construction and commissioning phases, the Architect has the authority over engineers, contracted tradesman and project managers if project execution becomes mislead. The Project Manager will liaison with the Project Architect but will also be responsible for ensuring teams are performing against the time constraints, objectives and deliverables of the PMP. Project Team Leaders will be responsible for ensuring weekly project outcomes are met by the project team in their specific divisions and will report to the Project Manager in minute meetings Figure 2: Alan, D (2010) Goverance, aadnc-aandc.gc.ca, retreived from http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1366814305245/1366814424097 ( Accessed 20/05/2018)

The key objective of the time management plan is to meet the project deliverable of commissioning the renovated building by March 2021. To meet this objective a detailed project schedule will be developed on the basis of the initial schedule (appendix A). As this deliverable is critical to the success of the project the following actions take place: Full time project scheduler will be hired and responsible to monitor and update the ongoing completion of work from planning to project delivery. The project schedule is developed based on the critical path method (PMBOK, 2013 P 176), this will provide the project management team much needed flexibility while closely monitoring any changes to the critical path which may delay project completion. The main activities duration are estimated using three-point estimating (PMBOK, 2013 P 170) in order to achieve better accuracy and advise a feasible time line. The project schedule will be implemented and managed via Microsoft Project software in order to give the project management team and all other project stakeholders a clear and updated status at all times. The project schedule is based on the WBS and takes into the account a contingency allowance of 15 % for the entire project duration. This will allow sufficient time to implement changes in scope or cope with unexpected delays from the initial baseline.
  • 66. GROUP 3 26 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Contractor contracts will be based on firm fixed price contracts (FFP) or fixed price incentive fee contracts (FPIF) (PMBOK, 2013 P 363) in order to meet the planned construction schedule. All contractors are to submit a detailed work plan which will be authorized by the PMO before commencement of work. Contractors work plans must meet the project schedule. All change requests which may affect the baseline critical path must be approved by the project board through the change request protocol. In cases of unexpected delays fast tracking may be used to compensate on lost times however as definition it will only be approved after a comprehensive risk analysis to the implications of starting the next task before completing the prior. Schedule will be reviewed and adjusted at the end of each week at a dedicated 30- minute meeting including the planning and execution team with the PM and any other relevant personal to that phase of activities.

  • 69. GROUP 3 29 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 10. COMMUNICATION AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATION PLAN The communication plan for this project is aimed to meet and structure all the information flow within the different project groups. Communication plan main objectives: Create effective communications streams between collaborating parties. Establish procedures to transfer and review critical information. Provide an updated project data base which will allow users to pull relevant information. Identify project stakeholders and define suitable communication methods. The project communication schedule and management plan (Appendix D) details the major reoccurring communication procedures. This plan will be monitored and managed by the planning and execution team. The PMO will manage and update the project data base which will contain all the project administrative and technical documentation so that information will be highly accessible.

  • 70. GROUP 3 30 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Communication guidelines: All meetings will have a detailed agenda and time limit. Meeting notes and all technical documentation to be updated to the project data base. Project data base will be managed by the PMO and constructed so that information will be transparent and easily accessible. Minimise written e-mail correspondence to the effective and relevant matter. Prefer direct communication via phone or face to face rather than electronic correspondence. Safety incidents or updates are to be communicated immediately to all team leaders which will reply by written confirmation once all employees have been updated. All communication with contractors must be coordinated with the operational manager CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN The change management plan aims to layout one structured procedure that will process changes in the project. The main objectives of the change management plan are: I. Preventing scope creep. II. Verifying that changes in scope do not collide with project deliverables. III. Controlling changing budget requirements. IV. Contorting and adjusting schedule to actual completion status. V. Approving changes with key stakeholders and project owners. VI. Communicating changes to project team and management. All change requests will be conducted according to the following protocol: 1. Submitting detailed change request via change request form (Appendix K) to PMO with all supporting documentation. 2. PMO to discuss change request with the issuing body and any other relevant management teams. 3. PMO to conclude summery of the change implications on the PMP and advise its recommendations for action to project board. 4. Project board to review the change request and PMO recommendation.
  • 71. GROUP 3 31 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 5. Project board will issue a signed change request outcome. 6. PMO will distribute the outcome of the change request to requesting parties and all other parties which are affected by the approved change. 7. Change will be documented in the change register and updated to project database. 8. PMO to revise and implement changes into the PMP. It is noted here that while the change management plan lays out the procedures for necessary changes throughout the life of the project, each change still needs to be carefully evaluated before request including a mandatory inclusive risk assessment as to the implications of each change. Furthermore, as part of the change management plan, project board will designate time and cost buffers which do not require preapproval for change and that is to provide the project manager with the operational freedom required for running the ongoing work. It is also noted that contingency funds are implemented to the project budget and are aimed to allow required changes while remaining within the total budget for the project. COMMUNICATIONS AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROCESS The administrative manager is responsible for controlling the communication and change management process. The communication plan will be structured into the project schedule meaning all the planed reoccurring communication activities are to be embedded into each of the project teams and mangers personal schedules. The administrative office will keep track of attendance and outcomes from each of the conducted communication events. Furthermore, the communication plan will be reviewed once a quarter according to feedback from the project teams in the form of work performance reports (PMBOK 2013, P 93). Reviewing and adjusting the communication process will ensure that effective communication methods are reinforced while distractions and ineffective procedures are replaced. The project data base will serve as an information management system (PMBOK 2013 P300) and will assist in controlling all electronic communications including e-mails, status reports and meeting memos. The stakeholder communication register will also be used to ensure that each of the key project stakeholders is receiving the relevant information. All change requests will be recorded and documented in the change register. After each section of the change request form (Appendix K) it will be signed and submitted to the PMO office which will follow up to the next stage. The administrative office will give public written notice by e-mail as to the outcomes of change requests and the followed adjustments to the PMP, schedule or budget allocation.
  • 72. GROUP 3 32 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 11. RISK MANAGEMENT RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN The risks associated with the Proposed Building Upgrade project, will be identified and managed as recognised by the Australian Risk Management Standard. The project’s Risk Management Plan will follow that of the Detailed Risk Management Process, figure xx. Initially, the context is established, meaning that the situation is recognised. For example, the context could be removing the existing structure. The second step to the plan is to identify the risks associated with removing the existing structure. The risks are then analysed, meaning that risk controls, consequences, risk level and likelihoods are documented. The fourth step to the process, is so evaluate the risks identified, and decide whether they’re treatable or not. If they are, the risks are finally treated, indicating that the proposed options to minimise/ eliminate the risks are implemented before or during the establishment of the context. Each step of the process is monitored, reviewed and discussed amongst the designated personnel in charge of managing the project risks. Figure 4: Detailed Risk Management Process, (AS/NZS 4360:2004).
  • 73. GROUP 3 33 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS The project’s risks will be managed by all members of the project team, to ensure that the project deliverables are implemented effectively. Risk management will be a top priority to the project, as risks have a significant effect on the project’s budget, schedule and scope. A number risks and opportunities were identified, analysed, evaluated and treated as part of the proposed risk management plan/ risk register section in appendix F. The risk management plan was conducted prior to the construction phase of the project. The members of the project team had several meetings discussing possible risks associated with the project as part of a process called review and identification of risks process. Several similar projects were studied, and the apparent risks were reviewed and compared to the Proposed Building Upgrade Project risks. The similarities were noted down. The next step to the process was analysing the proposed risks. This was conducted qualitatively and quantitively by the members of the team. The team members were responsible on assessing the risks associated with their own individualised skill sets. For example, the architect analysed the risks associated with the design, the Chief Financial Officer was responsible for analysing the Financial Risks and the Construction Manager was responsible for analysing the risks involved in the construction process. The evaluation of the project risks was performed as a team, to ensure correct prioritising procedures are implemented. The project manager was in charge of ensuring that the proposed solutions or risk management strategies are implemented during the implementation phase. The project risks register, was made available to all members of the project team, to track, monitor and review at all times. It’s altered and updated by the team members during meetings, when risk priorities are changed.
  • 74. GROUP 3 34 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN 12. CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT PROCUREMENT PLAN The project procurement Plan for this project focus on acquiring goods and services which includes Architect, engineers, carpenters, building materials, plumbers, painters, construction machineries, construction workers, approvals from regional regulatory bodies and government. These are obtained according to the schedule The Project Manager will give oversight and administration to all acquirement required under this project. The Project Manager will work with the project team to recognize all things to be acquired for the successful delivery of the project. The Project Management Office (PMO) will then audit the obtainment list preceding submitting it to the contracts department. The department then review obtainment things, decide if it is worthwhile to make or purchase the things, and start the seller determination, buying and the contracting procedure. PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS The procurement management process comprises of numerous means and in addition continuous administration of all obtainment exercises and contracts. In this process, our objective must be to improve acquisition administration by every fundamental mean with a specific end goal to encourage effective completion of our project. To help in disentangling these project, we will utilize standard documentation for all means of the obtainment administration process. These standard reports have been produced and changed over a time of numerous years with an end goal to consistently enhance obtainment endeavours. (figure XX)

  • 77. GROUP 3 37 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN PROJECT COMMISSIONING PROCESS The primary objective of commissioning the building to allow for the orderly and safe handover of the building project to the owner, this is effectively pursued through the guarantee of its operability in terms of its performance, reliability safeness and the traceability of building information to the new owners. Commissioning should reflect the finalisation and fulfilment of schedule, cost, safety and the quality requirements of the building, (Young, G, 2005, para 3). 1. BENDIKSEN, T., YOUNG, G. Commissioning of Offshore Oil and Gas Projects: The Manager's Handbook, AuthorHouse Publishers, 2005. The commissioning process will come as a series of checkoffs and inspections by those involved with the design and construction of the building, this involves the clear communication between the project team such as: The Architect Project Manager Operations representatives Technical Experts Construction Managers Commissioning Agencies Engineering Teams These teams will be required to conduct tests to specific components, elements and buildings systems they were assigned to, to ensure they are functional and operated by the building owners. The commission will involve guides and handbooks to the prospective owners on how to operate and maintain building components as well as elements and systems in a safe and appropriate manner.

GROUP 3 43 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Provider(s): The building Warranty is designed and administered by the Construction Manager and is supported, verified and approved by the Architect, Project Manager, Engineers, contractors and other personnel liable for the quality and execution of the construction and commissioning of the building. Coverage: The building warranty ensures that the final owners have the correct cover for the building, the warranty ensures a level of quality is maintained and covered for a two-year period as a general rule. Some components of the building will fall under a shorter category of warranty such as the materials such as interior wall framing, and finishes completed by the contracted tradesman, other building components like doors and windows will have their own separate warranties that differ from this document that will be provided in the project handover by the Project Manager. Defects: The client will have two pathways of identifying defective works, (QBCC, defective work disputes (2017, Para 2), these fall under: Structural Defects include but are not limited to: leaking roofs, leaking plumbing, health and safety issues Non- structural Defects include but are not limited to: Sticking doors or windows, and minor cracking to plasterboard of walls. Structural warranties, finishing and product warranties will be voided in the instance of additional renovation(s) or construction that tamper the materials, components and systems initially commissioned as part of the refurbishment. Additional Warranty Items- (Service Contract): Service Contract- The service contract will be administered with the Project Handover, the purpose of the service contract is for the navigation and resolution of complex warranty issues, capturing warranty information pertaining to maintenance and servicing of equipment,
  • 84. GROUP 3 44 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN components and building systems. This is an additional document to the warranty structure for the building and captures the predictable service requirements for the equipment, components and building systems and establishes a lifecycle for the object, to ensure the building owners are aware of when equipment requires servicing or replacement. PROJECT CLOSE-OUT REPORT/PLAN The objective of the project close out is to review the project and ensure it completion, this often comes in the form of lessons learned documents and best practices to be applied to future projects. A detailed project report can be found in appendix H. The project closeout for the building upgrade will consist of two main activity groups these include, administrative closeout and contract closure, both of these closeout documents can be found in appendix H. Project Commissioning Plan Management Effectiveness: The project and the needs of the customer we prioritized effectively throughout the delivery of the project this was ascertained by clearly discernible stakeholder management and communication, which ultimately lead the collective objectives of the Project team and vision of the steering committee be realised. Over the duration of the project there were a series of project delays these grew out of the delivery of equipment, permits and delays with staff, whilst most of these variances were anticipated and accounted for they did impact the final commissioning schedule, (appendix I), and effect the project budget; however the cost and variances would have been far more substantial in the instance of scope creep. These delays can be seen a necessary risk as delays were initiated as a protective measure to regulating building and quality compliance across the job project. In the instance that the delays were not implemented it is quite likely that Management would risk both the safety of the project team, specifically the construction crews and the quality of the build, which would of alternatively would of resulted in catastrophic consequences in terms of building fines and the amendment of building works that were not hypothetically compliant. Lessons Learned:
  • 85. GROUP 3 45 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN A major issue of the project which lead to cascading delays across the construction phase of the project was the delivery of building materials, necessary equipment and delays in qualified staff. Often, it’s very difficult to have a fiscal control of these factors, however it would be recommended in the future it would be recommended to store more of the materials on site for longer duration to reduce variances in delivery of goods. In addition, it would be recommended to have a more rigid boundaries for the stakeholders as a protective measure to ensure they complete their contracted duties on time and the effective standard.
