RMIT University Advanced Construction Technologies Fishermans Bend Report
Question Description
ASSIGNMENT TASKS
Students (as groups) are required to select three to five advanced construction technologies / products which they think potentially are applicable to the Case project (the same case as Assignment 1). This assignment requires students (as groups) to develop a feasibility report on the application of the selected technologies / products in the case project. The key consideration is that the selected construction technologies / products should help to increase project productivity and sustainability during the whole project lifecycle (i.e. design, construction and operation).
When developing the feasibility study, students should consider:
- Legal perspective – What are the legal requirements regarding applying the technologies / products in the case project? Risk allocation?
- Financial perspective – What are the costs and benefits of applying the technologies / products in the case project comparing to conventional practices?
- Application process who will be involved in the application process and what are the responsibilities and requirements for them? When to use? What are the key activities?
CHOSEN TOPICS FOR FEASIBILITY ASSIGNMENT.

4- (MATERIALS)
FORMAT OF ASSIGNMENT
The minimum word limit for this assignment is 12,000, meaning that each student in a group will have to write about 2400 words.
GROUPINGS
Teams of 5 members are to register by 27th Sep 2020 through Canvas.
ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION
The Tasks 1 report must be submitted electronically through Canvas as groups before 18th Oct 2020 11:59pm.
Other supporting documents (IF ANY, such as simulation models, raw data, programming etc.) should be submitted to the lecturer – electronically via Canvas by 18th Oct 2020 11:59pm.
The submission of supporting documents in itself will not affect the final marks; but in some cases, the supporting documentation may help the lecturer better validate the reliability of your studies based on the supporting information.
