Development and Project Breifs - Falsh Cards - Level 2 Flashcards
Why is the cleints breif a developing document, provide an example?
It develops as the deisgn stage progressess, for example identifying further detail of the cleint requirments through stakehodler enegement in design stages for RBC.
What is a method of recording change?
Within the design stages I will utilise a design development log, recording change, when and who has agreed it and cost associated. During the construction stage I will use a change control tracker.
How does a design development log assit, provide an example?
It provides an auditable trail of design changes that can be reffered back to, for example on the cheilderns home a stakeholder raised near the end of the project that air colling was to be insatlled in a specific room. It was not in the scope so I reviewed the design development log where it highlighted its omission being signed off by the client in RIBA 3.
Communal, RBC - At which stages did you provide risk registers?
From the commencement of the project, as part of the fesbaibility and at each deisgn stage. For this project it highlighted budget issues and also associated requirmenst of phaisng of the works which was costed.

I provided risk registers to the cleint at each RIBA stage as part of the RIBA report, I always included the top 5 risks within the body of the report and discussed responsibility and mitigation.
Communal, RBC - Provide an examples of a risk highlighted and how it was dealt with?
Phaisng of the works, costs were allocataed for construction to be phased as residents were not to be decanted. Budget, cleint budget did not cover the cost estimates for the works being produced.
Communal, RBC - How did phased wokring assist with risk mitigation?
So that residents could safely stay within the building while works were bing carried out. This was a costed risk as it would add time and cost on to the project.
Communal, RBC - What impact on the project did phased working have on the programme and cost?
Extended the length of the programme and rised the cost as a result.
Communal, RBC - How would you recommend a contingency is aportioned?
During the deisgn I would recceomend a design and constrution contingency was held, and a constrution contingency of 10-15% on refurbishment. They can also be estabished by costsing risks held on a risk register.
