Construction Planning

Knowledge
1. Analyse the structure of the UK project management system and possess a critical awareness of the
managerial role played by the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry
2. Evaluate the AEC professional’s role in society and the community
1. Project Brief - The Millennium Mills Redevelopment Cities across the world are already feeling the
effects of the climate crisis and need to ensure that they are resilient to a future which could result in a
variety of changeable weather, such as more powerful rainfall events, higher temperatures and sea level
rise. This means that all new developments need to be designed to be resilient in an uncertain world in
2050 to ensure that the people living, working and visiting there are safe, healthy, comfortable and
productive. Silvertown Quays in London’s Royal Docks is a waterside site which will be developed over
the next 10-15 years and needs to be designed to be 2050-ready. The client has already received several
proposals regarding the refurbishment and reconstruction of the Mills but remain unsatisfied about
these proposals. Details of the context and background to the Millennium Mills can be found in the
Appendix A
Project requirements Lendlease are looking to you for answers as to how to achieve from the project
the most appropriate: • Sustainable approach to design that will provide long term benefit to the local
and wider area of East London. • An integrated infrastructure strategy and improved access and
transport links for the local people and businesses. • A strong commercial strategy & evidence that the
development with be financially viable and meet its legal requirements. • Demonstrate that they meet
the needs of local and regional stakeholders and environmental planning obligations • A clear
procurement strategy and safe construction programme • A high-quality development that showcases
innovation and also provides value for money for the client and stakeholders alike
Environmental & Stakeholder Management
1. An overview of the environmental issues affecting the construction & operation of the project.
2. A detailed report supporting the process in which public concerns will be addressed.
3. Evaluate how Low Carbon Planning helps to integrate energy efficiency and renewable energy
sources cost effectively into the new development. (e.g. identify the measures used to
minimising construction waste, embodied energy and carbon emissions, in low carbon energy
design and planning)
Construction Planning
1. The choice of construction methods and logistics for the redevelopment to reduce carbon
emission and reduce pollution.
2. Discuss Health and Safety obligations and provide detailed method statements supported with
pictorials for the construction of the major elements of the works, these must be project specific.
3. An outline programme (Gantt chart user friendly) for the works for the key elements (manually or
software based) identifying critical activities & resource smoothing opportunities.
Construction companies cannot disregard the problem of pollution. According to

toronroenvironment.org, dust and emissions are the main type of pollution that we can see on this
department. In order to limit emissions and pollutions during the building process, we can always
consider reusing building materials and components from the existing structure. Everyone is aware of
the three R's of the environment: reduce, reuse, and recycle. This could help the environment to reduce
the emissions of Carbon Dioxide in construction while reusing and recycling the materials. In relation
with this, you can also consider to implement efficiency in material design, as per smartcitiesdive.com,
the potential emissions reduction could possibly reach at 18% by 2050. Reusing materials is also a part
of material efficiency, you have a new product from the existing product but aside from reusing
materials, you can also use eco-friendly building materials in construction, that will produce same result
but with reduced amounts of used raw materials.
Millennium Mills Redevelopment should also consider to use Low-Carbon Cement, ecolibrium3.org
post an article about ways to reduce emissions in building construction, one of the ways is encouraging
everyone to use Low-Carbon Cement, it could probably have 6% potential emissions reduction in
construction. It also says here that due to the intense heat and significant CO2 emissions generated
during cement manufacture, concrete is one of the most carbon-intensive building materials.
The very important thing to consider in construction is the safety and health of the people, we all
know that every employer is responsible for their employees. Millennium Mills is a building that is prone
to accidents, not just because the building has high elevation but we should also consider that this
building is used to produce flours, therefore they used chemicals and equipment inside. According to
designingbuildings.co.uk, the use of method statements is common in the construction industry as a way
to manage certain health and safety risks that have been identified, such as lifting operations,
demolition or dismantling, working at heights, installing equipment, the use of plant, and so forth. This
method statement is a written description of the specific activity or process that will be performed,
including the safety system of operations and step-by-step procedures of the work and use of
equipment. It should be written by an expert who is knowledgeable in the process being mentioned, and
it might be necessary for the client, primary contractor, and contractor to come to an agreement at the
of the day.
