Addendum: Wulingyuan Scenic and historic interest area

Strictly follow these instructions and the assignment outline. There are examples of the professors addendum and how he wants it. The powerpoint attachment is an example of the composite illustrations.

1. 750 addendum
2. composite illustration
3. background materials

• The written Addendum, which should not exceed 700 words presented single-spaced on one page, provides a supplementary account of the World Heritage Site. It should not include a repetition of the existing criteria by which OUV is established, nor should it attempt to define the site by fitting it into an additional criterion. Instead, the purpose of the account is to determine how the site might be redefined as a ‘dynamic system’, giving weight to missing facets of the site’s history or its present-day challenges. Your word count should be given.

• In this written Addendum, keep in mind the application of HUL as a theoretical framework, whether it is clearly applicable or only remotely so. Should the site be far-removed from urban centers, consider how tourism, trade, and ties might link it to populations in cities worldwide (as Lectures suggest).

• In the Composite Image, which is referenced through in-text figure numbers in the Addendum, include at least one map that places the site in geographical or historical contexts. Provide captions (with sources cited) for the map and for each additional image (up to five images). With the graphic or design skills you have developed in other courses, make this
Composite Image as lively as possible, bringing the key issues to life.

• In the Background Materials, provide a scan or photo of one page respectively from each of your sources (limiting this to no more than three scans/photos). The scans can include further maps or visual sources. Provide enough textual evidence of how you derived your arguments or account.

NOTE: A bibliography — Works Cited — should follow at the end or it may be included as an
additional page directly after the written Addendum.

Construction process management

Assessment task details and instruc(ons
There are 3 Ques@ons to be answered in this coursework and all details are provided below 1. Shen, et al (2004) and several other researchers in the construction industry examined waste management in construction sites. However, waste management is a broader

Assessment Informa-on/Brief

concept not just limited to site management. A lot of commentators argue that the scope of waste management should be much wider, and that better value can be realised and achieved if waste management is considered very early in the design and construction life cycle. By researching into this area from both a process and waste management perspective (as two different bodies of knowledge) write a critical essay on how the build-up of waste can be minimised and costs can be optimised across the construction process.
[Maximum word count for the critical essay is 2000. This includes cover sheets, any table of contents, any appendices (if any) and the reference list. Ensure that no irrelevant appendices are added as it will unduly increase word count without adding much value to your mark] Note that the referencing style to be used is APA 7th .


2. You are required to construct a risk register for the below type of project based on the following details.
Identify eight possible risk events (from areas such as environmental constraints, planning, procurement of materials, labour supply and plant hire / movement, health and safety and other specific circumstances of project) for a city centre project delivering a high-rise block of apartments and construct an appropriate risk register to
include the chosen risk events. (the risk register should include / demonstrate the risk analysis into components and the overall risks (any associated colour coding), in the case of any interventions into mitigating any of the high risks and the resultant or the residual risks after the mitigation measures, and illustration of ownership of risks). You are also
required to construct a list of assumptions and / or considerations in articulating your risk events.

3. A housing developer has plans to develop a major residen@al estate in the outskirts of Manchester. They have put forward a plan to the local council to construct 100 housing units with other facili@es, infrastructure and a recrea@on area. Their proposal also includes a localised urban drainage system so as not to put pressure on exis@ng
infrastructure facili@es and services. The developer has already suggested a shorter construc@on dura@on so that the commercial advantages can be realised earlier amidst several compe@ng housing developments coming up in the area. Due to the shorter length of construc@on, it is an@cipated that the builders will incorporate an offsite

You are required to answer the following 4 parts based on the above scenario in Q3:

(i) Identify and Discuss the stakeholder engagement plan to op@mise the par@cipa@on of the stakeholders in this proposed housing development. [indicative word count = 750 words]  (20 Marks)

(ii) Discuss the role of resource leveling and effec@ve management of the construc@on programme to achieve shorter construc@on @me within the proposed housing development. [Indica@ve word count = 500 words] (10 Marks)

(iii) The scenario men@ons the incorpora@on of a ‘sustainable urban drainage system’ within the development. Briefly explain 5 possible ways in which such a scheme will posi@vely impact the environment. [Indica@ve word count = 250 words] (5 Marks)

(iv) According to the RICS Guidance note (2017) “if Value Management (VM) is to have a significant impact, then it must be used from a very early stage of the project”. Discuss this ra@onale for the use of VM for the design and construc@on of housing in this development scheme. [Indica@ve word count = 500 words] (10 Marks)
