SYNOPSIS

This forum is an extension of the previous webinar conducted by the facilitator on the same topic with the exception that the format is structured towards a forum to enable interaction and participation between participants and the facilitator. In the previous webinar, a multitude of questions were posed by the participants but were not thoroughly discussed or addressed in detail. Hence, a forum is now provided to actively engage with participants online to address concerns and issues on the subject matter for discussion to a possible solution.

It is anticipated that the forum will start with a brief recap on the Project Management modes presented in a previous webinar, followed by opening the virtual Zoom floor to questions and comments from the participants.

This forum will explore the different optimum PM systems that can be applied to both the Owner and the Contractor organization across a variety of procurement approaches by the Owner in executing projects that typically involve design/ engineering, procurement, fabrication/ construction/ installation, testing and finally commissioning. Some of the common procurement types such as Design and Build or EPCC, separate Design and Build contracts and other types such as multiple construction packaging and Construction Management (as opposed to Management Contracting) will be discussed as well.

This Zoom forum can only accommodate up to 97 participants and hence we ask that only serious attendees and participants register for the event.
