Presentation and Case Study Flashcards
How was the cost increase managed between the stage one and two submissions in your case study?
This was managed through the issue of monthly cost reports as part of our deliverables where we advised on the increases due to change in scope. These were also flagged to the client in the meetings where concerns first became apparent by the T&T team.
Did you propose any mitigation to the cost increase in the period between IPP and DPP such as Value Engineering?
VE was something that was continuously looked at, however with the nature of the scheme being for prison windows and strict technical standards having to be met.
Phasing strategy was also looked at however there was immense pressure to get the works complete and an already lengthened programme ruled this out.
How did you demonstrate the Risk Management competency within your submission?
By advising the client of the various risks associated with each of the options I presented i.e. with retendering where there was a risk that no savings would be achieved.
You mention that the MoJ use the PPC200 contract, can you explain why that contract in particular is used?
The MoJ choose to use the PPC2000 as it is a standard form of partnering contract and to gain the benefits of the partnering terms. Ties all members into contract and Partnering and Project Timetable put dates for all disciplines.
How does a PPC compare to JCT or NEC in terms of administration?
