Construction Projects

Question: Write an essay on Construction projects. Answer: Construction projects have affected our modern society. I have noticed that the customers have some doubt about the operations of the construction companies. It has been observed that construction companies often face criticism for the inefficiencies of their outcomes such as time, poor quality, cost, low productivity, and low satisfaction of the customers. I have observed that the clients have proposed to change the operations of the construction companies. The clients deal with procurement to determine the responsibilities of authorities. I have found that the construction companies have revised their responsibilities such as construction process, affecting rate of the customers, degree of integration and cooperation among the project participants. The construction company has observed the requirements of the vital improvement area such as relationship, buying process and contribution of the construction companies. I have seen that the procurement procedures need to improve the ful fillment of the different project performance objectives. The customers have started to choose the procurement process based on the excellent knowledge and tradition of using raw materials. The issues of the construction companies are related to the procurement procedures. I have observed the investigation process and the entire process are focused on certain procurement functions regarding factors which have affected a few project outcomes. The construction companies have implemented the systematic approach for achieving the successful governance construction projects. Analysis: I have found three success criteria of the construction company such as cost, quality and time. I have found that the construction companies have implemented the iron triangle to focus on the short term performance which is critical for the clients. I agreed with that strategy because the organizations have succeed after using that strategy. I appreciate that the development of the organization is vital. The construction companies have implemented constantly successful projects. The projects were important for the corporate prospective. I think that the construction companies would gain competitive advantage through the long term and sustainable development strategy. I feel the construction company has to observe the objectives of the stakeholders. It would help them to sustain in the competitive market. I have observed that the construction organization has considered the three additional performances aspects such as environmental impact, work environment and innovation. The constru ction companies have been considered as a main contributor for the environment issues. The construction company has created a poor work environment record. Moreover, it has been observed that construction companies have faced health and safety issues in the work place thereafter. The procurement procedures of construction companies have been affected by the project performance. My suggestion to the construction company would be to create possible choices in the design stages. I think that the constriction companies need to implement the relationship between the design stages choices and the performance of the project. I have noticed that the construction companies have implemented the strategy for improving the project performance of the organization such as environmental impact, cost, time, quality, innovation work and environment. In reality, the construction companies have to plan for participating in the tendering process. My special suggestion to the construction companies would be to make note of the tendering process because it is very time consuming. I think that the construction companies have to apply the negotiation strategy for acquiring the government tenders. LEARNING: I have understood the relationship between the selection choices of the subcontractor and the performance of the project which has improved the operation of the construction companies. The suppliers and the subcontractors have preformed 70% to 80% of the operation of the construction company. Therefore the construction event has been able to maintain factors such as cost, time, quality, environmental impact, innovation to satisfy the customers and work environment. the construction companies have implemented different payment methods such as online transaction and cashless payment. If I shall be the chief executive of a construction company, I shall implement the fixed price methods for the business. I shall implement good relationship between the payment choices and performance of the project. I shall suggest to the higher management of my company to implement the corrective tools such as partnering facilitator, joint risk management, joint office building, partnering agreement, joi nt objectives, joint IT-tools, and team building activities. I will never change attitudes, behavior, processes and values in the win-win situation because I am sure that the company will fulfill the goal. I am sure that the success criteria will influence the joint objectives which in turn will improve the project performance. If not then I shall implement the joint IT tools to enhance the integration and communication in running projects and future projects because it will improve financial performance.
