1. Project control
When talk about project control it will never run away from cost, time and quality
control. A good project control is an important part of successful project management.
Planning and monitoring plays a major role as the cause of project failures. Project
Management Triangle is to express each project should complete within cost or budget,
complete on time and achieve client quality requirements. In this project, the project team is
more concern about time and cost control due to the nature of the building.

Time control
Although time is not the main concern of the project, while there are variety of
method of saving construction time. For example, focusing on time-saving materials and
techniques such as steel and metal products because of they are ready made before delivery
to site. Therefore, it may reduce the labour time.
Analyse worker productivity could be another method as labours are the one working
throughout the construction. Paying higher wages will not encourage the labour become
more hardworking or more efficient. Thus, study have been carried out and outcome showed
poor employees productivity will somehow linked to poor planning, dangerous working
circumstances, accident rates, lackof necessaryor compulsory equipment and poor company
morale.

2. The seven important process in the project time management are, Plan schedule
management is atechnique of setup the policies,operation and documentation for outlining,
managing, developing, executing and supervision the work program. Define activities are a
process to classify and analyse the certain activity to be implement for a project.
Sequence activities, a process of classify and analyse the link throughout the overall
activities. While, Estimate activity resources are process of evaluation the nature and the
material quantities, human resources, equipment, or supplies needed to carry out in every
single activities.
In addition, estimate activity durations, is a process of evaluate the time period
require to complete each activity with certain resources. Develop schedule, is a process of
summarize the activity sequences, time, requirement, and schedule to form a project
schedule model. Control schedule, is a process of supervision the progress of the activities to
modify or update to baseline in order achieve the plan.
Cost control
In this project, there will be a group of people who are specialized in cost control and
value management to administer the cost control of the entire project. The estimated cost is
RM3millions to complete the project. This project will get 50% loan fund from the bank as a
support for capital cost.
As mention before, the project is very concern with the cost. Hence, The cost control
team will carry out a detailed resources planning and cost estimating to ensure there is no
resources is overused or incur extra cost for the project. While planning for the resources, it
will also include cost budgeting and cost controlling. The cost control team will determine the
qualities of all resources and allocate to every work section as it required.
In this project, due to the nature of the proposed building, the multi-storeys did not
have to apply high ended finishes and painting for aesthetic purposes. Hence it in term of

3. finishes it could save a lot of cost for project itself. However, the building will need to take
extra care on the waterproofing for the ground floor due to the low ground level at the
construction site which will have potential flood problem. Thus, the project will allocated an
extra cost for waterproofing for the ground floor. In this case, the employer has introduced
one of his suppliers which could help on supplying goods and materials for the project with a
lower market price which could help the project to saving cost. Procurement method can be
one of the ways of cost control. The project is using DnB method, thus the construction cost
somehow willbe fixedat the beginning where itcould provide cost certainty for the employer.
Quality control
As discussed before the project will not prioritise on the quality of product but it did
not mean the project will tolerance on the quality of work. The quality control for project is
to make sure the project satisfied the need for which it undertakes. Project quality
management required to address both management and product of the project to provide a
good quality of work. Hence, all product of the project will still have to meet the standards
and requirements set by the management team. This project will implement six sigma as the
quality guideline where will be focus on the five phases DMAIC.
 Define the system, requirements, specifications and project goal to provide a better
understanding of the idea of project and move toward the goal with the team.
 Measure the key aspects of the process and collect relevant data
 Analyse the data to investigate, verify and determine cause-and-effect relationships,
and attempt to ensure that all factors have been considered.
 Improve or optimize the current process based upon data analysis using techniques
such as design of experiments or mistake proofing. Using the standard work to create
a future process and set up a pilot run to establish process capability.
 Control the future state process to ensure that any deviations from the target are
corrected before they result in defects. Implement control system and continuously
monitor the process.
This process of DMAIC will be repeating until the desired quality level is obtained.
Project quality management includes all the activities of the overall management
function that determine the quality policy, objectives, and responsibilities and implement
them within the quality system. In order to have a good quality control of a project, the project
