1.1 Identify the unethical
construction practices in a organization from the client, contractor and
consultant perspective and explain the roles of built environment
professionals in preventing unethical practices with the help of real
time case studies.
Unethical construction practices
Ø
Client
Unethical construction practices from client are they try to construct
without consider environment, human facilities, nature and other people. Always
client try to construct in minimum cost if they are do the construct a minimum
cost sometime it is very harmful to other parties it is the client use
unethical construction practices
Ø
Contractor
As top of says Contractor also the do same unethical practices for their
benefits they do some unethical practices like don’t use approved material, they
don’t test and get approved, don’t use approved drawings, don’t follow the
construction specification, do works without any inspection from engineers, Pollution
of environment like construction disposal material they don’t dispose in construction
procedures like this thing is done by contractor to the unethical practices.
Ø
Consultant
As the same as consultant also the same they do
lot of unethical practices like don’t follow construction drawings, they don’t
inspection correctly. they don’t follow the specification, don’t give the
instruction to the contractors properly, do construction without testing, don’t check the reinforcement bar
schedules. This is the unethical practices from consultant parties. As the
according this unethical practice Built environment professional can prevent this
case using their ability and profession in this cast totally depend on this
built environment professionals let’s see who is the built environment
professional are and how can prevent this case.
·
Project
Manager
As a project manager he can prevent these cases
using their strength like advise all the employers.do not give the permission
to like this cases. He is the main responsible person to prevent their cases
because of he is the leader and main manager in construction.
·
Quality
assurance manager
As a quality assurance manager, he has a most powerfully
strength to prevent their cases his duty also has these cases. He can prevent
these cases like not giving a construct without his inspection, monthly check
qualities about construction as an example check test report in concrete cube
crushing strength, check field density test report also, daily visited to the
site and randomly check some test like moisture content test etc., Prepared
check list forum, Request for inspection like these document and activities help
prevent these cases.
·
Material
Engineer
As a Material engineer, he can take the
responsible person for the as I say in topic like material testing, he can test
all the construction work in standard specification and He can advise without
his approval don’t give the permission to construction proceed.
·
Design
engineer
As a design engineer he also the take this
opportunity to prevent like this case using don’t give the permission to the do
construct without standard drawings, like these things he also the member of
built environment
·
Site
Engineer
He is the main responsible in construction work
because of he is the in charge about these constructions he can prevent this he
can advise to their supervisors and other staff to don’t do construct without
approval, without testing, without standard specification like trough this
thigs can prevent this case
·
Technical
officer
As a technical officer can do as I say in topic
in site engineer, he can do the same thing.
·
Quantity
surveyor
Quantity surveyor is part of this built
environment because of he can also do the things to prevent this cases he can
put the test report to the monthly bill and put the check list , put the
inspection report , Approved drawings like this things consider he also can
prevent this practices.
1.
In the way
to Badulla district there was a soil erosion area that place avoiding, the road
construction was proceed before the road handing over a huge land slip were
came after that road handing over also cancelled due to this case after that
the contractor going to lost lot of money for it due to this case all the
construction going to be a failed because of this issue.
In this case
·
Lost money
in that area again construct.
·
Want to
get approval from the client to fix it
·
The people
can’t travel properly
·
Time waste
·
Reduce
this problem
·
before
this construction started if soil nailing test were proceeding, they can avoid these
situations.
·
Before
construction they can inspect all the constructing area
·
Studied previous
cases like what happen in past is happen like this thing before.
The built environment
professionals can reduce this case before start work think top of, I say.
2.
Second
case I have met in Peradeniya Badulla Chenkaladi A05 Road As a quantity surveyor
in they are do some activities like leader way construction, Tree removing,
without any instruction or drawing from the engineer in that case we had to met
cases these are,
Can’t billed properly
Issues with the consultant parties
BOQ Quantity exceed
Timber cooperation issues
The built environment professional
can reduce this case before construction proceed take action for that can take
money for that clearly
Small and large steps a quantity surveyor can take for a sustainable construction
§ Reduce to use of papers
§ Plant tree for the carbon dockside
§ Using minimum machine for the work
§ Introduction solar panel system
§ Waste material recycle methods
§ Use natural sources for the construct
§ Develop software and app for the minimize
papers
§ Using the innovator refrigerator and AC system
§ Using of LED bulb instead of traditional bulb.
§ Use wind energy for electricity.
§ Utilization of coal waste for concrete.
§ Using clay pots instead for plastic pots.
§ Introducing the carbon free paint for painting.
1.2
Sustainable
construction can be implemented for a long-term existence
2.2.1Reduce to use of paper
In reducing papers, we can save
lot of money because of construction ongoing lot of documents want to
Laboratory, Site, Design, Quantity surveyors, Quality documents like this thing
so this cost was very high in long turn existence. In long period we want to
expend lot of money for it. using Software like mobile application can reduce
use of paper. If we develop a software for the documentation, it is the best
option for the reduce paper waste. If we Develop a Mobile application for the Contractors
it can share with all the contractors, we can develop this software and sell to
them.it is the best methods to reduce papers and contractual document in e
service.
2.2.2 Using of LED bulbs instead of traditional
bulb.
Using Led bulbs can reduce energy other than
traditional bulbs. Introduce LED bulb to the construction industry. If we use
LED bulbs in Sri Lanka power plant save lot of energy. Use less
electricity for the same light output - 85% less electricity when compared to
conventional lighting and around 18% less electricity compared to CFL.
Worldwide, around 20% of electricity is consumed in lighting. LED can make a
big impact on your energy use. Savings really ratchet up in areas such as
security, where lights are left on for longer periods. The average EU household
has 24 lamp points and there is an LED alternative for nearly all of them.
Businesses can make huge savings whilst being greener. Making LED industry in
Sri Lanka in COVID Pandemic situation people also growth.

Lump sum method
is most suitable method for this construction.
A lump-sum contract is normally used in the
construction industry to reduce design and contract administration costs. Lump
sum contract have a clearly defined scope of work because of it has a clear
idea and clear cost and profit there no need any changes these situations. In
the Lump sum Contract Can refer ICTAD SBD2 Document. Lump sum contracts
can provide benefits for both side on a construction project. These are as
follows
§ Profitability
If the contractor uses a lump sum contract at the
outset of the project, they build a bit of insurance in to the total price.
This insurance protects them from expected but unforeseen contingencies.
§ Financial easier
Contracts are more fluid pricing can be challenging
for a secure finance. With open ended contracts. Owners have an easier time
securing financing with a lump sum contract. The contractor knows the amount of
finally profit & cost.
§ Minimum Time
The Highway construction can’t proceed due to this
case if we use this method it is take few time.
3.2 In according to ICTAD/SBD/02 Document it can use for
this contract because we can refer items in this document. This document was
created for the Sri Lankan economy. There are included method of construction, method
of laboratory testing, Measurement method, Payment method.
