, PREPARATORY TASK 1
Methods of Procurement of the Design and Construction Team
You have recently started your seat in the Construction & Engineering Department of
Gilbraith Saunders LLP, and your supervisor, Fleur Richardson, has asked you and
the other Construction Department trainees to put together a short presentation for
delivery to some vacation placement students who will shortly be joining the team for
a week’s work experience.
The presentation should explain to the students some typical methods of
procurement which are commonly used in the construction industry. Fleur would like
you to:
Outline the method of procurement, describing the relationship between the
parties who will design, construct and manage the project.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the method.
Give at least one example of a project where the method has been
implemented and whether the project was delivered on time and on budget.
At the end of Unit 5, your tutor allocated you to a particular group and gave each
group a procurement method to research, out of the following:
1. Traditional
2. Design & Build
3. Construction Management
4. Partnering Arrangement
As part of your research, you may find it useful to consult a specialist practitioner
text, such as Emden’s Construction Law.
In preparation for Unit 6, your group should work together to produce a
Powerpoint presentation of no more than ten minutes in length, addressing the
points Fleur would like you to cover in relation to your given procurement
method.
