Introduction
Golden Yadanar Myaing Construction Co., Ltd is one of Myanmar’s major building
construction and we construct Individual Projects as novice by using digital technologies in
project management. Changing technologies are used in this project and we need to report
our individual project to the Construction Co., Ltd. And, it is needed to formulate a project,
manage a project and evaluate potential project management solutions.

I present to discuss about the drawings specification, cost of estimate, schedule of work,
and Critical Path Method used with two digital technologies to prepare the project
management.

Aims and objectives


The aims and Objectives of this Individual Project are to understand the construction
drawings, cost for estimation, project scheduling, and construction project management, to
use advanced digital technology such as MS Project Software in the construction industry,
and to meet the requirements defined in the assessment criteria and the usage of changing
technology in the construction and the built environment.

Formulate a project that will provide a solution to an identified problem


A novice considers all required preparation such as Project Identification, Research
Methods, Feasibility Studies, cost, and resources. You need to initiate the design plan based
on the client’s need and consider the project’s specification and explain the important part of
the project specification to a successful project outcome.

The project, Reinforced Concrete has a 70'-0" & 30'-0" area school building because this
building has sustainable, soundproof, and comfortable for people to learn. It has 29 columns
and footings and 16 windows and only one main door. This building has one story. In the
space, the area has placed a table and other furniture. It has only in and outdoors but there are
a lot of windows to have natural light. It can build within three months and can also control
the cost. This structure always has control measures during construction to have good quality.

P2 Identify the main components of a project specification.

The project is a school project. This project is drawn by AutoCAD software. The
reason why chooses this project is nowadays the field of education is increasing day by day.
The total area of the residential house is 2100 sqft.

In this house, there are 29 numbers of footings and columns. In footings, there are
composed of 6” thickness of hardcore, 3” thickness of 1:3:6 lean concrete, and (8x8) 16mm
footing steel rod square frame and short column steel frame mixed with 1:2:4 cement
concrete. In the column, there are composed of 4 number 16mm steel rods set up with 8mm
stirrup apart 6 inches. The size of the short column and long column is (9”x9”) rectangle. The
plinth beam and roof beam, there are composed of 4 number 16mm steel rods and set up with
8mm stirrup apart 6 inches. The size plinth beam and roof beam are (9”x12”) rectangles. The
roof design of the project is a parapet roof (see Appendix A).

Identify potential resources, costs and timescales to meet.

A participant must produce an initial project estimate. The source of the initial
project; A cost and time scale can be created by analyzing rate and local pricing. Project
management of the construction industry Gantt chart; Primarily relies on schedule and
resource tracking using PERT Chart and CPM Chart. Estimate the approach value of this
project and show the summary cost and quantity list of my structure (see Annexure-B). Grand
total cost is 305,491,855.82 kyats and PAE=BQ value is 30549 kyats/ft2.

Describe a range of appropriate techniques for generating realistic potential solutions to


meet criteria.
In techniques for project management, CPM method is the most robot technique to
investigate the time duration for our projects. That’s why we proposed to choose the CPM
Method in our project. The Activities and duration table are got from the estimate and it is
needed to create the CPM-Network Diagram. CPM – Network Diagram will be obtained
from the table. This Network Diagram show the activities that can move duration and non-
CPM show activities cannot move duration during construction site. The advantage of CPM
is that the activities can move duration and cannot move the duration and then by using CPM
is evaluated the total duration of the building so we choose this method to involve in this
project.

CPM are A, B, C……. etc.

Based on the first and second stages, a project management plan, using standard
systems of time and resource tracking will be prepared and updated. Duration and resources
are got from the estimate by using standard systems from yellow book. By using standard
systems, we got the standard duration and resources and it is very helpful in a project
management planning. Duration from estimate and duration from CPM are not same days.
They are 120days and from 142 days respectively. Durations get from the estimate is by
adding all of activities duration. Activities duration is got from the activities volume and the
numbers of labors in each activity. Durations from CPM is got by knowing and looking the
estimate durations and making the table to get activities Network Diagram.

Evaluate potential project management solutions

Modern construction methods are a process that focuses on off-site construction


techniques such as mass production and factory assembly as an alternative to traditional
building. The process is described as a way to '...produce better quality homes over time'.
Historically, it was created to meet the urgent demand for residential buildings after World
War II, and the method became popular during the period.
Before all else, the project management strategies to determine suitability for a given
project will be explored. The new age of construction industry will be changed in
technologies in management projects and some are used in practice for project planning.
Among them, we proposed two digital technologies techniques for our project. Before the
construction, the two-digital software is considered to management the duration, cost and
resources in this project. Digital technology is the software which can help in project
planning, drawings, estimating, network diagram and Gantt chart of the project duration and
resources. Two new digital software MS Project and QM for windows are used to describe
Network Diagram and Gantt Chart of the project duration. In a lot of digital software, this
two software is used because digital software gives easily can manage the duration and cost
and resources and further study for other activities. Two digital technologies software are
used the different ways with different systems to know how to use two different types of
software and to reduce time delay in management time, cost, resources, materials and safety.

P6 Justify the selection of your preferred solution, making reference to your initial
project specification.
After that, the selection of your preferred solution, making reference to our initial
project specification will be justified. Using these two software, it gives many good results.
We can see the Network Diagram and Gantt chart of the whole project. It can manage the
time and cost, labor, materials, and safety of our project. Activities duration from CPM is
needed to compare in MS and QM software. This software gives an auto-schedule of the
activities by putting the duration of each activity. The network Diagram and Schedule of the
duration is got from MS Project software and the Gantt chart and precedence graph are
received from QM for windows. These digital technologies are widely used in many projects
to have a standard system. They are described in Appendix D.

Produce a written report identifying each stage of the project.


In this project, they are much software such as Auto CAD, Estimate, MS Project, and
QM for windows. By using this software, it can create the design, contracts and documents
prepare the materials, and manage scheduling with network diagrams and Gantt charts.

The comparison of each outcome from using management plan software can be
shown in the following table.

Estimated Time Using CPM Using QM Using MS Project b

480 days 454 days 480 days


Utilise appropriate forms of referencing and citation in the preparation of a written
report.
The network diagrams of CPM and QM for Window are identical and the critical
paths. If we know more information about our project, we can make the network diagram for
our project early. It can be led to the approximation of the time duration for our project. It can
be seen in Appendix C and D.

Prepare a presentation of your final project outcomes, utilizing industry-standard


software.
It uses digital technologies for project management to improve processes; It can be
increasing productivity and reduce costs. technology is one of the strategies that can help us
achieve our goals. Finally, our project helps to examine the impact of new technologies on
the industry. Initially planned resources by proving the skills and knowledge of the evolving
technology sector in the construction industry through engagement with digital technologies
in project management; Depending on the results of the time scale and costs, it can be applied
with proof. Once upon a time, construction was a reasonable cost; Security without argument
with good quality and sufficient time, it is believed to be a successful project, and the
evolving technologies have become more widely adopted in the industry.
