You have recently taken over as Construction Project Manager for a medium sized construction project. Bellbrook Professional & Theatre Centre features a ground-level cinema and 3 storey office tower. The expected construction schedule is nine (9) months, or 40 weeks. You are currently in Week 10 of the construction schedule.

At Week 25 of the Bellbrook Centre schedule, a second Professional and Theatre Centre (the Pembroke Centre)is due to commence works. You anticipate a crossover of approximately 15 weeks where you will be managing both projects at once.

The design of the Pembroke Centre is the same as the Bellbrook Centre and the site conditions, etc., are basically the same. The contract is for the same amount as the Bellbrook Centre. As both centres are only 25 km apart, you will engage the same subcontractors and hired equipment/plant across the 2 projects (where possible).

Operational Management Plan

Aspart of theQuality Management System for the project, you have been tasked by the CEO of the company todevelop an Operational Management Plan.This in-house Plan will be referred to by yourself, senior management and construction supervisor/s. Its purpose is to provide guidance on maintaining consistent operational practices across all future building projects.

Your Operational Management Plan will cover 3 Sections, and are the focus of your 3 (three) Assessments:

• Assessment 1: Maintain a Safe and Responsible Work Environment
• Assessment 2: On-Site Operations
• Assessment 3: Project Scheduling and Financial Management

In writing this Operational Management Plan, you will create a "living document" to take to your future/ current workplace and use in your construction management role. In utilising the same Bellbrook/ Pembroke Centre Projects, you will build upon the skills and knowledge you acquire across other units.

Resources that accompany this Assessment:

• Bellbrook Professional and Theatre Centre contract documents
