please explain and give details ... thank you

You are the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of DUNWAY SDN BHD, a leading construction and real estate company in the country. You are required to identify an M&E; consulting firm to design and supervise construction of building services systems for a ninety-eight-floor high-rise building for your company. You have been approached by Mr. Calvin, a contractor with 25 years of experience in the building industry and a former engineering technologist at Taikin Industries Ltd. Singapore, with regards to the mentioned project. Mr. Calvin has offered a very competitive price for the work. However, Mr. Calvin is not a registered Professional Engineer with Practising Certificate. Explain whether you can engage Mr. Calvin to carry out the project mentioned above. (20 markah/marks)

Explanation / Answer

The statement suggests that the building is already complete as far as construction is concerned, meaning that the design is not a concern here as its a completed task, what is left is "SERVICES SYSTEM" as it is known that services system actually influences the aesthetics of a building and has got very little to do with the dynamics and loads on the building, it will thus be a better idea to engage Mr. Calvin. The technologist no doubt is a good choice too but the fact remains that he won't be designing the building rather doing aesthetics only which even Mr. calvin who has huge experience in this industry can do as well, and add to it the competitive price he is offering. Had it been the design as a whole, then there was no better choice than the technologist...
