What Is Project ?
Project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product or service.
• Example : construction of building, construction of fencing ,
installation of facilities management .
• But maintenance work for the building or facilities
management is not project but called operations
management
Trainings by Vidya Bhagwat
The temporary nature indicate that a project has definite
beginning and end. Hence meeting dead lines is extremely
important for project success
The end is reached when the project objectives are
achieved or when the project is terminated
Temporary dose not necessarily mean that the project is
short. Duration of project depends on scope and complexity
Temporary dose not refer to product , service or result
created by project.
The project creates unique product, service or result which
may be tangible or intangible. Hence understanding
requirements for each project are important
Trainings by Vidya Bhagwat
Project
Projects To attain its objectives and terminate Start and end date
Operations To sustain the business Ongoing
ExampleConstruction of new building
Example Selling apartments in the building
Strategic Management
Project Management Operational Management

persons to generate profit
Create Desired Value For The Organization Use created value to generate profit & revenue
Three Main Functions In An Organization
Real Estate Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently to meet both process and product requirements.
Example of project management activities– Identifying structural requirements– Meeting promised quality standards– Managing relation with owners– Managing compelling project constraints
What Is Real Estate Project Management
Civil Engineer plays pivotal role in designing , structural decision making and construction. Some of the key responsibilities of civil engineer are mentioned below but not limited to :
Understanding the site topography and positioning the building on the site
Planning the routing and the site drainage, access roads and utility connections
Understanding the local geology and soil conditions, including the location of the water table
Selecting and designing a foundation system and the rock or soil layer on which the building will be founded
Role Of Civil Engineer In Real Estate Project
Selecting a structural system that is compatible with the building architecture and designing it to be capable of resisting all the occupancy and environmental loads (snow, earthquake, wind, etc.). This includes the selection and the design of a floor system and may also include the design of the building envelope, or the separation between the interior and the exterior environments of a building. The structural system must also be compatible with the other engineered systems in the building (e.g. HVAC, building envelope)
Once the design is finalized and approved, the next step is to define the specifications of all the materials used in the building, prepare a quantity take-off, and prepare an estimate of the construction cost
The plans and other technical documents serve as the basis for conducting the bidding process and the selection of a contractor and possibly, specialty subcontractors.
Role Of Civil Engineer In Real Estate Project
Civil engineers are also involved in the planning, scheduling and inspection of construction, including testing and interpretation of tests. They may also be involved in the site layout and the selection of construction methods. Construction safety is also one of their concerns
The architectural design, design of engineering systems and possibly landscaping is the role of other professionals, such as architects, mechanical engineers, fire protection engineers, electrical engineers, lighting specialists, acoustics specialists, etc.
Civil Engineer Plays Very Critical Role In Real Estate Project Management
Role Of Civil Engineer In Real Estate Project
Knowledge : refers to what project manager knows about project management and real estate product management

Hence you use OPAs to improve the management of your project. You manage project within the constraint and guidelines established by the EEFs
Organizational Process Assets
Project life cycle is the series of phases that the project passes through from its initiation to its closure.
Each project may be divided into many phases to improve management control.
Collectively, the project phases are known as the project life cycle.
Usually they are sequential. These are unique to the industries Each phase is marked by completion of one or more
deliverables. Phase-end reviews are called phase exits, stage gates, or kill points.
Project Life Cycle And Project Phases
Each project may be divided into many phases to improve management control.
These are unique to the industries
Phase To Phase Relationships : Sequential
Phase To Phase Relationships : Overlapping
The ability to influence the final characteristics of the project’s product without significantly impacting cost is highest at the start and decreases as the project progresses
Predictive Life Cycle (Fully Plan Driven) : In this case project scope, time and cost required to deliver the scope are determined as early in the project life cycle as practically possible.
Project Life Cycle And Types Of Project Life Cycle
• Iterative And Incremental Life Cycle : Iterative life cycles are one in which project phases (also called iterations) intentionally repeat one or more project activities as the project team’s understanding of the product increases.
Project Life Cycle And Project PhasesTypes Of Project Life Cycle
• Adaptive Life Cycle ( Change Driven Or Agile Methods) : Intended to respond to high level of change and ongoing stakeholder involvement. Adaptive method is also iterative an incremental but differs in that the iterations are vary rapid (usually within duration of 2 to 4 weeks) and are fixed in time and cost. Adaptive projects generally perform small incremental improvements that will deliver value to stakeholders
