CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT| a light overview

OBJECTIVE

THE PLAYERS/ SWOT ANALYSIS

INFINITE MONKEY THEORY

--GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, A HYPOTHETICAL CHIMPANZEE TYPING AT RANDOM WOULD, AS PART OF ITS OUTPUT, ALMOST SURELY PRODUCE ALL OF SHAKESPEARES PLAYS.

--A MONKEY HITTING KEYS AT RANDOM ON A TYPEWRITTER KEYBOARD FOR AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME WILL ALMOST SURELY TYPE A GIVEN TEXT, SUCH AS THE HAMLET

STRICTLY SPEAKING

STRICTLY SPEAKING,ONE IMMORTAL MONKEY WOULD SUFFICE(Boges)

In a typical construction project, there is one lucky contractor the Project Team is seeking out of the pool of many eligible. Getting this one lucky contractor is the essence of undertaking Procurement Planning

THERE IS ONE LUCKY MONKEY!

According to the Infinite Monkey Theorem, the chance of getting the right monkey to type the Hamlet is left to Probability. However, the reason why we have Professionals in the building Industry is to remove the Probability and Guessing out of the process of Construction/Building of Homes. If the all-too-important role of engaging professionals is overlooked, clients would end up as The Confused Ones.(see my previous blog)
