2. Introduction to the Module
This module is designed for students of construction, civil engineering, surveying and architecture with little or no prior knowledge of building construction or site management. Students will learn what is involved in setting up a site, organising work safely, achieving the required quality levels and managing the main resources used on site. The module addresses the sometimes differing needs of new build and refurbishment projects. The module also addresses some methods of achieving economic objectives of both the client and contractor.
2章节介绍 是第二部分核心内容介绍 The module is also designed to provide an insight into how the whole team, including the client and designers, can have an impact on the safety and economics of building site operations. An integrated learning system comprising lectures, handouts and course textbooks for students' home study are used together with group tutorials.
You will be expected to read the recommended books, which will enable you to acquire a greater understanding of the subject.
该章节还旨在提供一个了解整个团队,包括客户端和设计师,会影响和经济安全的建筑工地操作。一个集成的学习系统包括讲座、救济和课程教材为学生的家庭作业和小组一起使用教程。你将会读到推荐的书籍,这将使你获得更大的理解这个主题。
3. Intended Learning Outcomes
3。打算和学习成果
5.1 Introduction This is a 15 Credit module for which a total of 3 classroom hours each week is allocated over a 12-week semester. It is not possible to cover all of this in the classroom time provided so much depends on you carrying out the requisite hours of self-study upon which our modular scheme is based. Initial sessions will introduce the module subject in a general and holistic way to assist those of you with little or no experience of the construction industry. We will deal at first with an overview of the construction industry, where it fits in the UK economy and we will look at some of the more recent investigations into the industry’s outputs and efficiency. We will then move on to deal with key topics including waste management, health and safety legislation and management, quality, value management, temporary works, the management of construction site resources and the application of all that has been learnt to both new build and refurbishment projects. You will come to understand that success in construction is usually a product of the application of sound theoretical knowledge and practical problem solving. You should take the opportunity to look through the gates or fences of construction sites to try to critically assess how well the factors in the above paragraph are being managed. The questions that you should ask yourself are:
• Does this look like a safe site? 5.2 Lectures Generally, each topic area is covered weekly in the classroom. Each 3 hour slot will be split between whole class lectures followed by tutorials. Lecture sessions may involve an overview of the topic with time set aside for questions and exercises.
The second part of each weekly slot will be a tutorial session. Tutorial sessions may involve workbooks, videos, demonstrations, tests etc, and some time will be set aside for assessment queries & clarifications.
In addition to the classroom sessions, you are expected to complete the work set after each tutorial session with a view to it being reviewed in the following weeks tutorial session. You may also be given some exercises to do during the weeks between lectures. In general, these will not be assessed to count towards your final mark but they represent our guidance to assist you in both carrying out your own study, and to gauge how your learning is progressing. We therefore recommend that you treat them seriously.

The individual report (coursework) contributes 100% of the final mark. The assessment pattern and dates are shown below:
Week 1 Issue coursework The rules for late submission, excessive word length, and mitigation are given in the undergraduate student handbook. Please remember to keep your receipt and make a copy of any work handed into the coursework room.
The individual report is in two parts: 6.2.1 Part 1: To be submitted by 12th March 2010 You have been appointed to advise the new management team of a medium sized Contractor who in the past few years have been found guilty of serious breaches of health and safety legislation. You are asked to examine the current state of safety management systems within the organisation and make recommendations that will lead to improved future performance. In your brief you have particularly been asked to look at the pros and cons of introducing a formal quality management system that integrates site safety issues. Produce a report to the management summarising your investigation and justified recommendations for action. Whilst your client is a fictitious organisation, your report should where possible draw on the experience of real Contractors who may have faced and responded to similar issues. [Max 1000 words] Appendices: you are encouraged to make proper use of an Appendix for information that cannot be incorporated in the main text. This could, for instance, be relevant to legislation or reports on the construction industry. Note: NO CREDIT will be given for merely including, or photocopying, published information which is NOT specifically relevant to the assignment, NOR properly cross-referenced to the text.
A former industrial site is to be re-developed for residential use. The site consists of a two-storey warehouse of brick construction that will be retained and converted to apartments and a collection of sheds that will need to be demolished prior to the commencement of construction of new build units. a) As the Principal Contractor under the CDM Regulations, and making reasonable assumptions as to the conditions on the site, draw up a risk assessment for the conversion, demolition and groundworks for the new build and prepare a method statement for one activity involved in these stages. [max 500 words plus information in tabular form]#p#分页标题#e# b) Discuss to what extent can the Designer of the works reduce the risks arising during the on site work. [max 500 words] 6.2.3 Presentation Text & illustrations: The report is to be word-processed, and any drawings should be A3 or A4 size to remain easily readable when bound in to the report. It is also easier to read if you place drawings and other specific information with the relevant text, rather than in one pack at the end - remembering always to reference clearly between the text and attachments. If photographs are used they must be fully captioned to show what they are being used to illustrate. (NOTE: Scanning facilities are available). Binding: The preferred binding for the report is using the inexpensive plastic folders utilising punched holes and with a coloured back and clear covers. These can be purchased from the Students Union shop. On no account submit this work in a ring binder, a folder with a clipped binding nor with each sheet in its own plastic wallet. Cover sheet: Your work must be fronted with the correct cover sheet, obtainable from the I Centre, bearing your SID number. This must be properly bound in. The work is blind marked as Anglia Ruskin University Regulations.
Assessment criteria: There is good advice given in the Programme Handbook on the general assessment criteria used for each of the Grades A to F. Make sure you read this carefully before tackling this coursework. The marking scheme: the breakdown of marks for this assignment will be as follows: Parts 1&2:
Knowledge & understanding Marks here will be awarded for how well you can demonstrate your knowledge and description of all aspects of health and safety legislation and quality management systems.
Quality of assessment & recommendations Marks here will be awarded for how well you can demonstrate your ability to apply your knowledge, your assessment of the problems faced by the construction company and the quality of your recommendations.
Quality of approach & discussion These marks are allocated on the basis of your ability to write a formal report on your findings. Have you written a well-balanced and coherent account of the issues? Are you making informed judgements based on the available evidence?
Use of information and references As noted above, it is very important that you provide well-balanced descriptions and arguments based on evidence. This evidence can be drawn from the HSE and other published information including textbooks. All this supporting information and evidence must be referenced.
Reflection It is important at this level to reflect on your work and be critical. Are there aspects that you would like to improve? What have you learnt from this experience? Are there any aspects that were unclear or gave you particular problems? Have you achieved all of the outcomes noted above?
This must be:
• In the format specified in the brief, and fronted by a fully completed cover sheet obtainable from the I-Centre.
The University recognises that there may be circumstances and occurrences beyond your control that may adversely affect your studies, and operates specific procedures designed to take fair account of any exceptional reasons that a student may have which interferes with this timetable. These are fully detailed in the Student Handbook issued to all new students at registration, so please ensure you get a copy and read the relevant parts.
Any assignment work received after the specified hand-in date will be deemed Late and Failed. If, due to circumstances beyond your control, you are not able to meet the deadline, you should: 6.6 Re-assessment In general, a student failing this module is entitled to one opportunity to be re-assessed, with the mark capped at a basic pass of 40%. For this reason it is essential that you attend the taught elements unless by prior agreement with the module leader. Occasional absences for illness or other reasons should be reported out of courtesy, before the session if possible, so that our records are an accurate reflection of the situation. The re-assessment tasks are as follows: Individual report A re-working of your assignment as indicated by the feedback comments from your tutor. The original piece of work must be submitted along with the amended work.
You are reminded that any work that you submit must be your own. All suspected assessment offences will be investigated and can result in severe penalties. Please note that it is your responsibility to consult the relevant sections of the Academic Regulations (section 10) and the Student Handbook.
