Personal Narrative: My Major Construction Decisions

risks and determine the likelihood and consequence of that risk occurring during the project. The

I, Deputy Gough received a call reference a white Ford truck driving in the Gamester trailer court all over the roadway. Upon my arrival I spoke with David Vore and Jennifer Vore. Jennifer Stated that Randy was the driver of the white Ford truck that said, “All Good Construction.” David and Jennifer both stated that they saw the truck drive through the yard hitting a slow child at play sign and the stop sign.

This can range from the right timing to take a new job to timing being the difference between life and death for a patient. It is important to have rational thought in your decision-making process but in some cases timing is everything and you must be ready and willing to make a split-second decision because someone’s life depends on that decision. In other cases, it makes sense to take your time and carefully think about your options such as leasing a new building or planning for the next big construction project. Thus, the sooner risks are identified, the sooner plans can be made to mitigate or manage them. Assigning the risk identification process to a contractor or an individual member of the project staff is rarely successful and may be considered a way to achieve the appearance of risk identification without doing it.

My first example of one of my peices of work is my Garage Sale flyer. I choes this as one of my examples because it demonstates my understandings of our unit all about creating flyers,business cards etc… The strongest aspects of this peice of work is the way I have all the information needed in an organized way. It does not look super cluttered. I think i could always work on something with any peice of work i do. With this peice i think i could work on my spelling and puncuation. Some of the skills i use to create this peice were; Change the backround, Bordes and accents, Text and

I have had many forces and experiences that have shaped me. They have not only shape who I have become, but who I am going to become. Throughout my life I have made a bunch of dumb decisions, mistakes, or things that just happen to me. Everything, in one way or another will take part in what happens in our lives. Whether I’m playing baseball, riding dirt bikes, or just messing around at home, it will all play into who we will become.

Sometimes it is hard to live up to the person who you want to be like or even try to be different in your own way. I have always heard the phrase "You can be just like Julie," but maybe I never wanted to be. These t-shirts that I have chosen, will express who I am, will tell you how I became me, how my life has changed for the better, and how I made the decisions I chose that got me here. These t-shirts will tell you about my last years of high school, why I decided to attend where I did, winning and placing at state and national competitions for SkillsUSA (that is a partnership of students, teachers, and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workplace), all the way up to my decision for attending two different colleges within a year. I have faced some struggles but I always pushed through because of the decisions I made for myself.

I remember a past experience that has influenced me to how I am today. I used to be afraid of heights until I went on an airplane. It had been my first time to ride an airplane and be in the air. When I first stepped on the plane I was very shaky about going. When the plane began to take off from the airport I was very nervous. We were up in the sky and I wanted to be back on the ground in a few minutes. It took a few hours. When we landed in Georgia we got off the plane and got our items.

Almost every job requires steady focus to get your work done. If you're a copywriter, you have a deadline to meet whether or not you're "in the mood" to write the salesletter. If you're an accountant, you have to make sure all the numbers balance. It doesn't matter if you just had a messy break-up with your significant other. It just has to get done.

I would say distraction was one of the challenges I had to overcome to get where I am today. My friends, relationships, staying up late, watching television or doing something else rather than doing my work, would always back track me even if I thought “I’ll be okay” and just catch back up; it’s not that easy. I use to focus so much on other people in my life, I’d forget about myself and what’s best for me. When I was in the middle school, I would get so distracted by my cell phone, my mom would have a restriction on it so that I couldn’t send or receive text within school hours. Nevertheless, I didn’t understand, but now I see where it could hurt my grades.

Overall, I am a work in progress that continues to enhance in my basic and advanced skills day by day. I believed I am getting better and I will continue to practice until I am a master piece. Honestly, I feel comfortable entering the counseling field after learning many techniques and tools that will help me grow as a counselor.

Many times when people speak about what shaped who they are and how they view the world, it goes back to a work that they loved as a child, or a piece of literature that taught them how to think, or a poem that challenged them to feel more deeply. The pieces of art and works of fiction that surround us, impact our thinking and the ways in which we live our lives. Personally, my parents were continually forcing books upon me to read and my father loved taking us as a family to various museums so that we could learn and appreciate other cultures and the importance of art in society. These experiences, though they felt like a drag or a downer on our vacation, eventually taught me how important it is to learn something

In building and construction, there are risks associated with estimating a home building project. These risks in construction are all the same across the board regardless the construction. Therefore, a home building projects is confronted with the same risks as any other project in the construction industry. The risks involved are such as; project management risks. The project management risks are mainly because of improper schedule. The improper schedule may be caused by poor allocation of time

Managing risks in construction projects has been recognised as a very important management process in order to achieve the project objectives in terms of time, cost, quality, safety and environmental sustainability. However, until now most research has focused on some aspects of construction risk

Risk in Construction needless to mention, with huge money, comes the company of big risks. In the area of Indian construction, the risks are abundant, due to the involvement of legal, political, financial and cultural complexities. As far as construction in India is concerned, there is lack of experience, but the opportunities for growth for companies willing to enter the arena are immense. The domestic construction industry is growing at a rapid pace, due to high demand for housing and increase in expenditure on infrastructure. All of the most challenging projects across country involve a variety of complex processes working simultaneously. Every critical activity is associated with a risk and can negatively affect the project objectives, such as time and schedule, cost and quality of work. The number of risks arising from a task is directly proportional to the number of people working on it. Mismanagement is one of the various sources of risk. These days, most of the big projects are sublet to sub-contractors, and therefore risk assessment and mitigation has become more and more challenging. (McKinsey & Company, 2009) (Sharmila & Pimplikar, n.d.)

Construction projects are characterized as very complex projects, where uncertainty comes from various sources. This paper deals with the identification of risk by different methods, types of risks associated with construction project and different risk mitigation techniques. In the construction industry, risk is often referred to as the presence of potential or actual threats or opportunities that influence the objectives of a project during construction, commissioning, or at time of use. Risk is also defined as the exposure to the chance of occurrences of events adversely or favorably affecting project objectives as a consequence of uncertainty. Pure risk in which there is the possibility of financial loss but no possibility of financial
