Upload the Power-point representation of [[ a total number of slides to range from five (5) slides to ten (10) slides only]]. Please specify the type of case study you choose at the first slide to be clear to the reader that your case study any of the following: 1. Real case study with assumptions of interest rates. 2.Personal case including issues learned from debit management lecture. 3. Imaginary case study including key subjects and tools learned Kindly provide the analysis of your case Study (ICS) that shows how did you reach the recommendation, and to proof that you made the correct decision. You have enough time to structure an acceptable case analysis using a particular tool or several tools per your observations from the course material provided.

for example the effect of de-watering on ground settlement or something like that this is my final year project ” dissertation “

This building construction report will comprise a professional industry standard report comparing a range of industrial, commercial, and retail building types (Pick one out of the three). You will need to carry out an observation inspection of the building you have selected and gather all individual building construction information to complete this assessment (Please select a building that is from Australia Brisbane City QLD). You also need to prepare a short presentation to pitch your selected building to your student peers. The pitch must include all important information for a property investor who is considering the purchase of a building in Brisbane. You must select your building on Week 1 and your building does not need to be for sale in order to complete this assignment.  You will invest, study, and analyze the building you have selected and reported it. The report should follow the structure given in this Brief. The aim of the analysis is to report conditions of the building to an investor who plans to purchase the building. The report must follow the presentation guidelines and should have approximately 2,000 words (a reference list, executive summary, tables/figures, cover page, and captions not included). The word count under or over 10% of the requirement will reduce the mark by 10%. You also need to prepare a short presentation, so-called ‘elevator speech’, for your building. The presentation should be a maximum 5-minute pitch to market your building to a mock investor that your student peers represent. For the Zoom presentations, you must select your own presentation group. The registration tool will be available on BlackBoard. Additional to your presentation, you need to evaluate your peer students’ presentations. The evaluation tool will be available before the presentation day and you must submit your reviews via BlackBoard. A presentation and completed peer-reviews represent 10% of your final grade. Every student must give a presentation that is peer-reviewed by other students. The presentations can be given ONLY on the day stated in the Unit Map. The peer-reviews are used for the mark given from the presentation part of the assessment item 2. If you do not give a presentation, your presentation will be marked by the teaching staff. If you do not submit peer reviews, your presentation mark will be reduced the mark by 50%. You must submit your report, presentation, and peer reviews via BlackBoard Assignment links. Be careful that you use the correct submission link. The report and presentation must be submitted separately using the different links. The following is a guideline as to how your assessment report should be structured. Table of contents: Executive Summary 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Location (suburb, population, surrounding buildings and landmarks) 3.0 Building Description (building type – retail, industrial, commercial, no. floors, estimated age, condition) 4.0 Building Design (floor plan, architecture, street presence and overall presentation) 5.0 Construction Materials (material type and description – floor type, framing, external walls, roofing, internal fitout) 6.0 Building Services (air-conditioning, public facilities such as toilets, elevators, fire systems, etc.) 7.0 Sustainability (any energy efficiency technologies, natural light and ventilation) 8.0 Ongoing maintenance and operational issues (visible damage given the use of the building or due to the age of the building) 9.0 Leasing and ownership issues (i.e. are there any vacancies? What are the current tenants? Does it require significant works and refurbishment? Is the fit-out too old to compete against with new stock on the market?) 10.0 Recommendations (why should we invest in your building?) 11.0 Conclusion 12.0 Reference List (refer to QUT Cite and Write) Appendix (i.e. any inspection photos, any searches you may have undertaken and have referenced)

AMCE Construction was awarded a contract by State DOT for a bridge rehabilitation contract.  The contract required a three-phase removal and replacement of an existing concrete bridge deck that carried an interstate highway.  The contract incorporated DOT standard specifications which included a concrete mix for Class AAA concrete.  Specifications also required that Class AAA concrete achieve compressive strengths of 3,600 PSI after 7 days and 4,500 PSI after 28 days. The project proceeded and after 7 days, concrete test cylinders from Phase I failed to meet compressive strength.  The State DOT then ordered the contractor to remove and replace the concrete.  Phases II and III also failed to meet strength requirements; however, the DOT did not assess penalties because it deemed the strength of the concrete high enough to safely support traffic loads.  ACME construction sued State DOT to recover additional costs resulting from the tear-out and replacement of the concrete on the bridge deck. ACME Construction argued that it had followed the mix requirements of the State DOT specifications and cited an earlier state case in addition to the case of United States v. Spearin, a 1918 United States Supreme Court case.  Both of these cases (known as the “Spearin Doctrine”0 stands for the proposition that a contractor will not be responsible for the results if it completely followed the plans and specifications. State DOT specifications also required that the concrete be maintained at a specific temperature during curing and that proper moisture be maintained to allow for continued hydration during the curing process.  ACME Construction elected to comply with the curing requirements by the use of wet burlap wraps.  There was evidence during discovery to indicate that the burlap wraps may have dried out during the curing process. Should ACME Construction be able to recover its additional costs resulting from tear-out and replacement on the bridge deck?

need to explain renewable energy with comparison and updated numbers, and to show the importance of Renewable Energy for the Sustainable Development.

This week covered how privacy and security align with IG. I want you to research articles from any company from 2015 until now on how they implemented their Privacy and Security Policy for their organization.  Identify the  areas you feel were beneficial to the organization and identify areas they could have improved on.  Make sure you identify how IG was incorporated into the article. 

NIMBY  is a concept that describes the negative attitudes against a project that benefits the greater community. This mentality is one in which even though people are generally supportive of a project that will benefit the greater community, they don’t want to suffer the burden of bearing the cost(s) of the project. In terms of power generation, one of  the biggest reasons against power plants, especially wind farms, is  “visual intrusion.” Opponents of projects like these don’t want an eyesore as well as any noise, negative impacts on wildlife and displaced agricultural land. Something else to consider is whether or not the project will have an effect on property values which can serve to bolster NIMBY sentiment. Having this mindset affects power delivery in that residents are forgoing access to more reliable power in favour of maintaining aesthetics or reasons like those listed above.  This attitude halts progress and can ultimately waste money if proposed projects in an area where they have to jump through hoops to get local approval. Look at the  Cape Wind Project for example, which was initially proposed in 2001 but died by litigation 16 years and 100 million dollars later. Boyle, K. J., Boatwright, J., Brahma, S., & Xu, W. (2019). NIMBY, not, in siting community wind farms. Resource and Energy Economics, 57, 85–100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reseneeco.2019.04.004
