The quality management process of placing orders for material and managing it effectively
involves several steps to ensure timely and cost-effective supply of material. Firstly, the
project team needs to identify the specific materials required for the project and determine
the required quantity and quality standards. Once this is done, suppliers are selected based
on their ability to meet these requirements. The next step is to place orders with the selected
suppliers and ensure that the delivery dates and terms and conditions are agreed upon.
To manage the material effectively, the project team needs to track the progress of the
orders and ensure that they are delivered on time and in accordance with the required
quality standards. This can be done through regular communication with the suppliers and
monitoring the progress of the orders using software or other tracking tools. Any issues or
delays should be promptly addressed to avoid any impact on the project schedule.
Finally, once the materials are delivered, they should be inspected to ensure that they meet
the required quality standards. Any defects or issues should be promptly addressed with the
supplier to ensure that the materials are suitable for use in the project. By following these
quality management processes, the project team can ensure that the supply of material is
timely and cost-effective, while also meeting the required quality standards.

Question 11: How the progress claims and payments related to a construction contract are
managed and approved. Answer in 50-100 words.
In a construction contract, progress claims and payments are typically managed and
approved through a process that involves several steps. The contractor submits a progress
claim to the client, which outlines the amount of work completed during a specified period
and the corresponding payment amount. The client reviews the claim to ensure that the
work has been completed in accordance with the contract and that the payment amount is
justified. The client may also conduct a site inspection to verify the work completed. Once
the claim is approved, the client issues a payment to the contractor. This process is typically
repeated at regular intervals throughout the project until all work is complete and the final
payment is made. Effective management of progress claims and payments is critical to
ensure that the project remains on track financially and that both parties are satisfied with
the work completed and payment received.
Question 12: Explain the process to check the project expenditure against the scheduled
projected costs. Answer in 50-100 words.
To check project expenditure against scheduled projected costs, the first step is to establish a
project budget that includes all planned costs and expenses. This budget should be regularly
updated throughout the project to reflect any changes in scope, schedule, or cost estimates.
Actual costs should be tracked and recorded on an ongoing basis, and compared to the
budget at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. Any variances between actual
costs and budgeted costs should be analyzed to determine the cause and potential impact
on the project. This analysis should inform decisions about how to address any budget
overruns or under-spending. By regularly monitoring and comparing project expenditure to
projected costs, project managers can maintain control over project finances and make
informed decisions to keep the project on track.

Scenario:
In this task, you (the student) will assume the role of a project engineer (PE) working for a
building construction company. Your company has recently been awarded a medium-rise
building construction project. As PE, you report to the project manager (PM). The PM has
scheduled the kick-off meeting for the newly awarded project. During the meeting, you will
need to deliver a presentation to the PM and other participants. The meeting is about the
project management plan that shall be followed during the course of the project for:
communication management, WHS and risk management, procurement management - the
systems for supply of material and hire of equipment, and cost management - the systems
for processing the progress claims and payments.
So, you will need to develop these various project management procedures/systems and
present this information concisely in the form of PPT slides. You need to cover the below
agenda in the presentation:
PN 4.1 Project communication processes – the processes and systems that shall be
followed during the project including emails and fax, phone systems and verbal
Page | 73
CPCCBC5010 Manage Construction work
1. Emails and Fax: Email and fax are commonly used methods of communication
for project stakeholders to share information, updates, and documents. Emails
and faxes provide a written record of communication, which can be referred to
later if needed.
3. Site Diaries: Site diaries are used to keep a record of daily activities on the
project site. These records provide a written history of events and can be used as
evidence in case of disputes.
5. Written Reports: Written reports are used to provide detailed information about
project progress, issues, risks, and opportunities. Reports are usually prepared on
a regular basis and are shared with stakeholders to provide updates on the
project's status.
Page | 74
CPCCBC5010 Manage Construction work
1. Project Progress Meetings: These meetings are held to review the progress of
the project against the project plan. They may be held weekly or bi-weekly.
2. Site Meetings: These meetings are held on the project site and involve
stakeholders who are directly involved in the construction of the project. They may
be held weekly or bi-weekly.
4. Design Review Meetings: These meetings are held to review the design of the
project and ensure that it meets the project requirements. They may be held
monthly or bi-monthly.
The attendees who should be present during these meetings will vary depending
on the nature of the meeting. However, the following are some common
attendees:
1. Project Manager: The project manager is responsible for leading the project and
ensuring that it is completed within the project scope, timeline, and budget.
2. Project Team Members: These are the individuals who are responsible for
delivering specific aspects of the project.
3. Site Manager: The site manager is responsible for managing the construction
site and ensuring that the work is completed safely and efficiently.
6. Consultants: These are the individuals who provide specialist advice and support
to the project team, such as architects, engineers, and quantity surveyors.
The frequency of the meetings will depend on the size and complexity of the
project, as well as the needs of the stakeholders. It is important to establish a
regular schedule for meetings and ensure that all stakeholders are informed of the
meeting schedule in advance.

WHS (Work Health and Safety), welfare, and risk management are important
considerations in any workplace, including construction sites. Here's some
information regarding your inquiries:
Safe work method statements (SWMS) for material handling and construction
works:
Safe work method statements (SWMS) are written documents that outline the
steps required to safely perform a specific task or activity. SWMS are particularly
important on construction sites where hazardous work is common. SWMS should
be developed for all material handling and construction works, and should include

CPCCBC5010 Manage Construction work
Procurement management involves the processes for acquiring and managing the
necessary plant and equipment required for a construction project. Here are some
systems for hiring and maintaining plant and equipment:
Page | 78
CPCCBC5010 Manage Construction work
Claims management systems are used to manage and resolve claims that may
arise during a construction project. These systems help to identify, evaluate, and
resolve claims in a timely and cost-effective manner. Claims can arise from a
variety of sources, such as contract disputes, design errors, construction defects,
and delays.
Page | 79
CPCCBC5010 Manage Construction work
Project managers should also establish a system for tracking and monitoring
project expenditures. This may include tools such as spreadsheets or project
management software, which can help to track expenses and analyze spending
patterns. By monitoring expenditures on a regular basis, project managers can
identify potential cost overruns and take corrective action before they become a
bigger problem.
You may use 15-20 slides to deliver this presentation. The communication during
presentation should be clear and precise. You must to use appropriate and culturally
sensitive language during the presentation as there may be students in the class from
diverse cultural back ground. You may use non-verbal communication and gestures during
the presentation. Also, allow some time to answer any question from anyone in the
audience.

This task requires you to practically demonstrate the real-life scenarios in which your
managerial and supervisory skills can be assessed. The task involves role-plays in a simulated
environment resembling a construction site (this could be an actual construction site, or a
simulated site arranged by the RTO).
This task shall be performed in a group of 5 students. You will be playing the role of
Construction Manager (CM). Other students / cohorts shall play these roles:
● Site Engineer (SE)
RP 4.1 You (CM) need to participate in a role-play scenario in which the student playing
the role of site engineer (SE) will brief you about site operations. You will ask the
SE about:
● allocation and management of human resources (workers) at site
RP 4.2 You (CM) need to participate in a role-play scenario in which the students
playing the role of Site Engineer (SE) and Project-Planner (PP) will brief you on:
RP 4.3 You (CM) need to participate in a role-play scenario in which the student playing
the sub-contractor manager (SCM) will brief you on the progress of works by
different subcontractors. You will ask the SCM about the compliance of sub-
contractors work to company’s policies.

CPCCBC5010 Manage Construction work
RP 4.4 You (CM) need to participate in a role-play scenario in which the student playing
the quality control executive (QC) will brief you on the progress of works by
different subcontractors. You will also conduct review of the implementation of
quality assurance and quality control procedures.
RP 4.5 You (CM) need to participate in a role play in which the student playing the cost
control manager (CCM). The given below table summarises the estimated cost
versus the actual cost. The estimated labour and material cost have increased
and that has led to variances in the estimated and actual cost. You will first find
out the variance and discuss with the cost control manager on possible solutions
for future projects.
Total
The resources/facilities needed to perform the roleplays shall be provided by your training
institute/RTO. During these role-plays, your trainer/assessor will watch and observe your
