Project Delivery Process…

Need for a projectIs recognized

Owner appointsProject Manager

Project Manager develops project

program: scope & cost parameters

Project is entered into an annual

capital program

Designer prepares concept design & preliminary cost

estimate

Designer completes plans &

specifications

Owner orders bid documents

Project Manager advertises for

construction bids

Contractors assemble team,

prepare & submit bid

Bids reviewed by owner

(with designer)

About Construction…

It’s an extremely complex process… Many players, many variables, many unknowns Design is never perfect

Unlike manufacturing process… Teams are variable; not trained on this project Production site is crude & unprepared Very large projects – rarely build more than one Very large risks – owner’s first and last experience Large penalties for error or contract failure Money drives all aspects of the process One chance to get it right

CM goal is to deliver a perfect product

Construction History

The oldest profession? The master builders… architects? Growth of Project Management Growth of Quality Management Construction Management Emerges

Hammurabi’s Code – 1780 B.C.228. If a builder build a house for some one and

complete it, he shall give him a fee of two shekels in money for each sar of surface.

229. If a builder build a house for some one, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built fall in and kill its owner, then that builder shall be put to death.

230. If it kill the son of the owner the son of that builder shall be put to death.

231. If it kill a slave of the owner, then he shall pay slave for slave to the owner of the house.

232. If it ruin goods, he shall make compensation for all that has been ruined, and inasmuch as he did not construct properly this house which he built and it fell, he shall re-erect the house from his own means.

233. If a builder build a house for some one, even though he has not yet completed it; if then the walls seem toppling, the builder must make the walls solid from his own means.

Contracting – 487B.C.Contract for Rent & Repair of a House, One Year Term, Thirty-fifth year of Darius, 487 B.C. This contract is most interesting. Such business methods are not, therefore, altogether modern.

•In addition to the rent of the house of Shamash-iddin, son of Rimut, fifteen shekels of money in cash (shall go) to Iskhuya, son of Shaqa-Bel, son of the priest of Agish, for this year.

•Because of the payment he shall repair the weakness (of the house), he shall close up the crack of the wall. He shall pay a part of the money at the beginning, a part of the money at the completion. He shall pay it on the day of Bel, the day of wailing and weeping.

•In case the house is unfinished by Iskhuya after the first day of Tebet, Shamash-iddin shall receive four shekels of money in cash into his possession at the hands of Iskhuya. •The names of three witnesses and a scribe then follow… •Dated at Shibtu, the twenty-first of Kislimu, the thirty-fifth year of Darius.

What’s involved…

Engineering: 1.design the columns2.size the rebars3.draw the plans 4.specify the materials5.write the contract6.select the site7.inspect the work8.advise the owner

Construction: 1.read the plans 2.hire the workers3.organize the site4.schedule the work5.form the columns6.install the rebars7.purchase the materials8.satisfy the owner

Construction site management

Traffic & environmental impacts

Construction Process

Study the contract Study the site, labor, materials Plan the work

What teams are needed How will they interact in time Integrate materials & logistics Diagram the flow of work Check the timing from start to finish
