Lecture 5 - CIE 531 PDF

The document discusses the project life cycle which can be broken down into several key stages: 1) The preconstruction phase includes conceptual planning, schematic design, design development, and contract documents. 2) The procurement phase involves bidding and awarding the contract. 3) The construction phase is when the bulk of funding is spent to physically build the project. 4) The closeout/handover phase is when the facility is transitioned to its operational use and lessons learned are captured. The project life cycle process aims to deliver the constructed facility while meeting the owner's objectives within budget and schedule constraints.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

CIE 531
Project Life Cycle

Lecture 5
1
Project Life-Cycle
 The acquisition of a constructed facility usually represents a major capital
investment, whether its owner happens to be an individual, a private
corporation or a public agency.
 The commitment of resources for such an investment is motivated by market
demands or perceived needs,
 The facility is expected to satisfy certain objectives within the constraints
specified by the owner and relevant regulations.

2
Project Life-Cycle
Owners must be very concerned with the quality of the finished product as well
as the cost of construction itself.
Since facility operation and maintenance is a part of the project life cycle, the
owners‘ expectation to satisfy investment objectives during the project life cycle
will require consideration of the cost of operation and maintenance.
Therefore, the facility's operating management should also be considered as
early as possible, just as the construction process should be kept in mind at the
early stages of planning and programming
3
Project Life-Cycle
 The project life cycle may be viewed as a process through which a
project is implemented from beginning to end.
 This process is often very complex; however, it can be
decomposed into several stages
 In making choices, owners should be concerned with the life cycle
costs of constructed facilities rather than simply the initial
construction costs

5
Preconstruction phase
 The preconstruction phase of a project can be broken into
 conceptual planning
 schematic
 design
 design development
 contract documents.

6
Conceptual design
Very important for the owner.
During this stage the owner hires key consultants including the
designer and
project manager, selects the project site, and establish a conceptual
estimate, schedule, and program.
The owner must gather as much information as possible about the
project.
The most important decision is to proceed with the project or not.
7
Schematic design
During this phase, the project team investigates alternate design
solutions, materials and systems.
 Completion of this stage represents about 30% of the design
completion for the project

8
Design development

Designing the main systems and components of the project.

Good communication between owner, designer, and construction


manager is critical during this stage because selections during this
design stage affect project appearance, construction and cost.
This stage takes the project from 30% design to 60% design.

9
Contract documents

Final preparation of the documents necessary for the bid package such as the
drawings, specifications, general conditions, and bill of quantities.
 All documents need to be closely reviewed by the construction manager and
appropriate owner personnel to decrease conflicts, and changes.
 With the contract documents are almost complete; a detailed and complete
cost estimate for the project can be done.

10
Procurement phase (Bidding and award phase)
The project formally transits from design into construction.
 This stage begins with a public advertisement for all interested bidders or an
invitation for specific bidders.
 In fast-track projects, this phase overlaps with the design phase.
 If the project is phased, each work package will be advertised and bid out
individually.
 It is very important stage to select highly qualified contractors.
 It is not wise to select the under-bid contractors.

11
Construction phase
 The actual physical construction of the project stage.
 This stage takes the project from procurement through the final completion.
 It is the time where the bulk of the owner’s funds will be spent.
 It is the outcome of all previous stages (i.e., good preparation means smooth
construction).
 The consultant will be deployed for contract administration and construction
supervision.
 Changes during construction may hinder the progress of the project.

12
Closeout /Hand Over phase
Transition from design and construction to the actual use of
the constructed facility.
In this stage, the management team must provide
documentation, shop drawings, as-built drawings, and
operation manuals to the owner organization.
The as-built drawings are the original contract drawings
adjusted to reflect all the changes that occurred.
13
Closeout phase
Assessment of the project team’s performance is crucial
in this stage for avoiding mistakes in the future.
Actual activity costs and durations should be recorded
and compared with that was planned.
This updated costs and durations will serve as the basis
for the estimating and scheduling of future projects.
