Construction And Technology And Environmental Services - Level 2 Flashcards
(17 cards)
How do you utilise your knowledge of current regulations and design standards to ensure compliance with legislation?
By staying updated on regulations and integrating design standards into project planning.
How do you prepare annotated sketches and specification detailing how elements interact?
I create detailed sketches that illustrate the relationships between different elements.
What mechanical and electrical services are relevant to your area of work?
Services such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems are relevant.
What construction materials have you worked with?
I have worked with concrete, steel, wood, and various composites.
Tell me about what you think in relation to various types of materials affecting the cost and time of the project?
Different materials can significantly impact both cost and project timelines.
Why do you think that material was suitable for that project?
The material’s properties matched the project’s requirements for durability and cost-efficiency.
Tell me about the type of construction you’ve undertaken.
I have undertaken residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects.
Talk me through the various types of materials you’ve used. How did this affect the cost and time of the project?
Using high-quality materials increased costs but reduced time due to fewer delays.
Talk me through how you’ve quantified how delay and disruption to a construction activity affected follow-on activities and trades.
I analyze schedules and resource allocation to assess impacts on subsequent tasks.
How do you use your knowledge of construction technology to inform the following; estimating, production of pricing documents, compilation of tender and contract documents, interim valuations, valuing change and compiling final accounts?
I leverage technology to streamline processes and enhance accuracy in documentation.
Limehouse-remediation project: Can you talk me through the construction of the panels and insulation render system?
The panels were constructed using prefabricated materials with an insulation render applied for efficiency.
Can you talk me through how you achieve a suitable fire rated system?
By selecting appropriate materials and ensuring proper installation methods.
What products did you consider for the works?
I considered various insulation and fire-resistant materials for the project.
Woolwich-remediation project: What was the concern with the plywood banding?
The concern was related to its structural integrity and moisture resistance.
Why did you select a JCT intermediate work contract?
The JCT intermediate contract provided a balanced approach for risk management.
How did you consider the contractors design portion?
I evaluated the contractor’s design to ensure it met project specifications and standards.
Given the unknown nature of this, how were the risks mitigated for the client and contractor?
We implemented a risk management plan that included contingency measures.
