Question
You are a project manager for a residential construction company specializing in custom home builds. A potential client, Mr. Johnson, has approached your company with a request to construct a new home on a small suburban lot. As the project manager, you need to consider various factors before deciding on the project delivery system, procurement procedure, and whether to bid on the project.
Imagine yourself as the project manager and discuss the following aspects:
Project Delivery System
Considering the scope and requirements of Mr. Smith's custom home project, which project delivery system would you recommend (e.g., design-bid-build, design-build, construction management at-risk)?
Justify your choice by considering factors such as project complexity, timeline, cost considerations, and the level of collaboration required with the client.
Procurement Procedure
Discuss the procurement procedure you would propose for selecting subcontractors and suppliers for the custom home project (e.g., competitive bidding, negotiated contracts).
Explain why you believe this procedure is the most suitable for ensuring quality and cost-effective delivery. Consider factors such as the project's timeline, budget, desired level of control, and the need for specialized trades or materials.
Bidding Decision
Analyze the factors you would consider when deciding whether to bid on Mr. Smith's project. Evaluate the project's potential risks, benefits, and profitability for your company.
Discuss any specific challenges or opportunities associated with this project that might influence your decision. Consider factors such as project size, competition, available resources, and the potential for future referrals or collaborations.
