Describe and map, by creating two IDEFO diagrams, the main processes in the pre-construction phase of the selected project.
Process Management in Construction
Working individually, you are required to select and investigate a recent ‘iconic’ construction project completed in the last 10 years or currently progressing. The project can be located in any part of the world. Considering your selected iconic project, you should write a 3000-word research oriented report covering the following two tasks:
1. Introduce your selected project. The selected project should be named, and a brief background should be provided to introduce/describe the chosen project and to justify its iconic nature. Project key information and start and completion dates should be clearly specified by including relevant tables/figures.
2. Describe and map, by creating two IDEFO diagrams, the main processes in the pre-construction phase of the selected project. The two IDEF0 diagrams should consist of a single Level 0 diagram and a single Level 1 diagram. You should also select four processes, from your Level 1 IDEF0 diagram, and describe the flow of activities within these processes by using four UML Activity diagrams. The RIBA Plan of Work or CIOB Code of Practice for Project Management frameworks must be investigated and used to identify and map the main processes/activities and other relevant information to be included in your own diagrams. The selected framework should be clearly named in the report.
