ASSIGNMENT TASKS

Students (as groups) are required to select three to five advanced construction technologies / products which they think potentially are applicable to the Case project (the same case as Assignment 1). This assignment requires students (as groups) to develop a feasibility report on the application of the selected technologies / products in the case project. The key consideration is that the selected construction technologies / products should help to increase project productivity and sustainability during the whole project lifecycle (i.e. design, construction and operation).

When developing the feasibility study, students should consider:

• Legal perspective – What are the legal requirements regarding applying the technologies / products in the case project? Risk allocation?
• Financial perspective – What are the costs and benefits of applying the technologies / products in the case project comparing to conventional practices?
• Application process – who will be involved in the application process and what are the responsibilities and requirements for them? When to use? What are the key activities?
