1.0 Main procurement issues and Project success standards The prime Main investment for DeMere Group in the Sri Lanka needs investigating a number of key features before investigating the principal procurement problems for their upcoming projects as shown below: The extended view of the group in Sri Lanka is to build five-star hotels; three hotels are in the immediate future and last two are planned for long-term. Assumption made for project locations as the first hotel is located in Kandy (Project 1). Second (Project 2) and third (Project 3) hotels are located in Colombo and last two (Project 4 and 5) will be in Galle, with the total budget 50 million US dollar for each project. Every hotel includes between 150 and 180 luxury rooms, villas …show more content…
This hotel is placed in Kandy in the middle of a number of little villages as assumed. The closest infrastructure facilities like the electricity, drinking water, underground networks, drainage water and roads etc; from the location of the project are about five miles. From this aspect, to accomplish the client's demands of the project can be separated into two projects; Project 1-1 constructing the hotel, villas and the other facilities, and Project 1-2 constructing the infrastructures, to support the project during construction and later stage as well. This method will go with the same contractor but various contracts, and various procurement methods, which will reduce the complexity in the procedures of the Project …show more content…
In reverse, the usage of water, lighting, heating, laundry and the spa facilities have an important influence on the environment (Hsieh and Jeon, 2010, p. 4). 1.3 Sustainability Sustainable procurement systems produce kind of advantages to the host communities (Awodele et al, 2010, p. 4). Utilising the sustainability strategy directs to increase earnings, reduces the energy loss, promotes health and safety and also decreases all sorts of wastes (Bashir et al, 2010). The idea of the sustainable method is to allow a proper level of living for today's generation besides reflecting the next generations' requirements in terms of three basic aspects namely; "environmental protection, economic development, and cultural fairness" (Brundtland, 1987, mentioned in Hsieh and Jeon, 2010, p. 3). Accordingly, the company is ready to utilise some innovative concepts of Off-Site construction in producing some units of the new construction. It should be perceived that Project 1 must be opened by February 2019 which indicates the construction wants to speed with time to reach the completion
An Oxford University graduate, Jonathan Swift, in his article, A Modest Proposal, proposes a solution to Irelands growing poverty in the 18th century by proposing the selling and eating of innocent babies. Swift’s purpose is to state the benefits that the poor would gain from selling their one year old children to the wealthy to eat them. He takes on a concerning tone in order to convince the people of Ireland to consider and adopts his obscene plan.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, America has had to deal with the on going
In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).

In aiming to increase the number of health workers that provide HIV testing in public health centers in rural and urban areas, I am hoping that all people, not only those living with HIV/AIDS, realize that there is more access to affordable healthcare. One of the biggest issues that Andhra Pradesh faces currently is that most health centers are private and come at a high cost, resulting in a shortage of staff in public hospitals and clinics, leaving low-income people with less access to healthcare. By increasing the amount of staff in current public health centers, ideally the reputation of public healthcare will change for the better. As current geography of Andhra Pradesh show, public health centers are scarce and even the ones that are currently
2.1 Studies Related to Competition in Indian Telecom Service Sector: N.M. Shanthi (2005) throws light on the factors that contributed to the growth of telecom sectors. The studies various initiatives take by government in lien of liberalisation, privatisation and de-monopolisation initiatives. The trend is expected to continue in the segment as prices are falling as a result of competition in the segments. The beneficiaries of the competition are the consumers who are given a wide variety of services.
I have a proposal for you to generate 3 millions of dollars in ten days and I would like to discuss this proposal with you in person. My proposal needs someone who has a great vision to see through and a vast staggering wealth like you. Each year there are more or less 100 Thai students who come to America to further study and obtain their doctoral degree by accepting the Thai government scholarship. The truth is that this is not a real scholarship but a highest interest rate loan I have ever seen. By the end of their doctoral degree, some of them may change their minds and want to stay here in the US forever but with the obligation ‘to do the right thing and commit to the responsibility to serve the country’ increasing their egos against
I selected the pathway programme I’m currently in to help fulfill my lifelong dream of studying economics, you see when I was twelve years of age I read an article written in Business Insider entitled “There’s a larger, Scarier Fiscal Cliff That No One Is Talking About”. The article in essence describes the dangers of, or pertaining to the increase in interest rates, coupled with the (at the time of writing) projection of a 20 trln National Debt. Given I was at the age where you’re most susceptible to new ideas, I became fascinated with that topic, and others of similar nature in the field of Economics. You could almost liken it to jumping down a rabbit hole, as that’s exactly what happened.

My approach towards the project work: My undergraduate engineering knowledge on design and construction helped me to initiate the project. First of all, I had to choose the appropriate structural system of the proposed Residential Building. The objective was to produce a set of structural drawings based on the architectural drawings and soil investigation reports, and then based on that drawings, I had to construct the building within the given time. The Design needed to be supported by calculations those were based on standard codes of practice & submitted to head of design for approval. The design should be cost-effective and meet all the architectural requirements. This project entailed using my geotechnical engineering knowledge, reinforced concrete design knowledge and construction
This procurement is only suitable for simple projects. Mr. Alexander is planning for a new sophisticated mix-development project, so design and build procurement is not suitable. This procurement cannot be chosen because Mr. Alexander wants to break his project into work packages.
The main objective of any construction project is to assure that the project completes on committed time and within the budget allocated. Two major challenges faced are Time and cost which increase the urgency to adapt new and innovative techniques for the project to be successful.
From the statistical analysis result, the highest overall ratings for the levels of importance of the eight performance criteria are: timely completion of project; effectiveness on cost management; improvement of quality; profit to all involved parties; no conflicts and contractual disputes; job satisfaction of all parties; improvement of safety and health without major accidents or injuries; and improvement of environmental friendliness and controlling on waste management. Time, cost and quality are widely known as the fundamental criteria to achieved success in a project (Enshassi et. al. 2009). Timely completion of the project has become the most concerned issue in a construction project in Malaysia. According to Lim and Mohamed (2000), from the macro view, timely completion of the project has appeared to be the primary concern for the clients and stakeholders. This can be further support by Hatush and Skitmore (1997), as they stated that to ensure the contractors complete the construction project on time, some of the contracts are cover with a bonus clause. Construction cost is l...
In general, there are different types of procurement type for various situations, due to no one method can be suitable under the all different construction project. In this case, there are four procurement paths, which are traditional, design and build, management and design and manage, which will be advised to use. However, each method has different advantages and disadvantages. First, traditional path is the tender documents have been prepared and then invite the tender and the employer appoints the contractor to construct the project. There are several advantages of this traditional route in the construction industry.
