Answer:
ix) Convening and chairing meetings of appropriate team members at all stages.
In construction industry have separate become few parts there the design stage,
preparing Contract & Tender Document stage, Tender stage, Construction stage and last
is completion stage. In first stage (design stage), the convening and chairing meetings of
appropriate team members are the Architect, C&S Engineer, M&E Engineer and others
professional designer. They need to have a proper meeting for discussing about the
design for the building. Next, the professionals that need to participate preparing
Contractor & Tender Document stage are the Architect, C&S Engineer, M&E Engineer
and the most important are the Quantity Surveyor because Quantity Surveyor are the
professional in Contractor & Tender Document. Others than that, Tender stage need to
call the contractor come for tender so the person who participate in this stages are the
Architect, Architect, C&S Engineer, M&E Engineer, Quantity Surveyor and others
professional but the most important is Contractors because the employer need to go
through the Tender stage to get the qualification contractor. After the tender stage is the
Construction stage so the person who will participate the meetings on this stage is the
Architect, C&S Engineer, M&E Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, Contractor, Sub-Con and
etc. when in the completion stage, the person who will participate are Architect, C&S
Engineer, M&E Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, Contractor, Sub-Con and etc because they
want have the last check and confirm the whole building is construct according the
design and following the contract.

x) Monitoring and controlling feasibility studies, design and production to ensure that the
brief is being satisfied, including adherence to the budget, investment and programme
plans
This is the 'meat' of the project manager's work and is predominantly concerned
with control. The project manager is responsible for taking appropriate action to ensure
that the project proceeds to plan. The project manager should be prepared to advise the
client if its requirements cannot be met or if an alternative strategy to that contained in
the brief emerges as more appropriate to the clients needs.
The project manager will be activating the feedback loops built into the process and
measuring progress against the projects objectives, monitoring the projects environment
and responding as necessary. The project manager will not therefore be concerned only
with the state of the projects development at the time feedback is taken but must also be
concerned with forecasting events in the future to anticipate potential problems and
attempt to resolve them before they arrive by Anthony Walker (2015, p. 203).
Clients generally do not feel that they are well informed about their projects, and
the responsibility for this lies with the project manager. Thus, as well as involving the
client closely in the project, as previously discussed, the project manager should keep
the client formally up to date on forecasts of the project team's performance so that
action can be taken by the client in advance of a forecast event that may affect its
organization, for example delay in completion of the project by Anthony Walker (2015, p.
203).
In integrating and controlling the contributors undertaking tasks required to
develop and complete the project, the project manager should ensure that all
appropriate contributors are involved in each task and that the outputs of the tasks are
compatible with each other and with the project objectives in terms of design, quality,
cost and time. In order to achieve this, the project manager needs to be assured that the
contributors are maintaining an appropriate level of progress in carrying out the tasks
and are employing suitable techniques. In addition, the project manager will need to be
satisfied that the contributors are using an appropriate number of staff of the right caliber
and experience. For this purpose, appropriate relationships with the contributors will
need to be developed and they will have to accept the project managers authority to be

satisfied on these issues. If the project manager is dissatisfied, authority will be required
to ensure that the contributors respond to any reservation held in this respect. This
represents a sensitive area and although project managers should be able to achieve
their requirements by informal means, they may on occasion have to fall back on an
authority given to them by the client by Anthony Walker (2015, p. 203).
