Business type – Horizontal/Vertical 4 Residential Construction Addresses the housing needs of a society. Housing construction takes many forms: – Individual homes – Apartments – Condominiums – Townhouses – Prefabricated units Is the most volatile sector of the construction industry Often, but not always, designed by architects Relatively low-tech in terms of means and methods. Hammers, nails, drills, and saws make up the primary tools and equipment needed. Building materials are typically wood products such as lumber and plywood. 5 Segments of Residential Construction 6 Custom Homes 7 Townhomes 8 Multi-family 9 Mixed Use 10 Production Homebuilding 11 Commercial Construction Addresses the needs of commerce, trade, and government. Makes up about a third of the total construction market Designed by an architect, with consultants Specialty contractors/subcontractors are utilized in the building of commercial buildings Examples: – Ironworkers, pipefitters, and glaziers. Three basic building materials associated with commercial construction: – Steel – Concrete – Glass 12 1 3 1 4 Heavy Civil Construction Often referred to as horizontal construction, heavy civil sector includes: – Roadways, bridges, tunnels, dams, airports, and railways Designed by engineers Equipment and equipment operators play a huge role in the work of a heavy civil project. Asphalt, gravel, concrete, sand, and dirt make up the primary materials used in heavy civil construction. Typically publicly (government) funded projects and tend to last a long time. 15 1 6 1 7 1 8 1 9 Industrial Construction Highly specialized sector that requires firms with vast resources and engineering expertise Industrial buildings are often very basic in their exterior design. The installation of equipment makes up a big piece of the industrial construction process Primary components: – Steel – Concrete – Reinforced concrete masonry – Specialized equipment – Off-site or modularization is common 20 2 1 Environmental Construction Comprised of projects that improve the environment, maintain public health, and contribute to a community’s quality of life. There is a great deal of earth moving and site work that usually takes place. Along with trenching, pipe laying, tunneling, and other excavation means. In addition to a combination of commercial, industrial, and heavy civil materials, specialized materials such as pumps, valves, filters, membranes, and aerators are required in this sector. 22 2 3 2 4 Owner’s Role Determines when a project is needed Provides project objectives (scope) Develops project alternatives – May be assisted by the designer Provides funding for the project (budget) Sets the project timeline (schedule) Types of owners: private and public 25 Designer’s Role Creates a design for the project according to the owner’s project objectives Ensures that the design meets industry standards and governing regulations Ensures that the project is built in accordance with the design Provides construction support to the owner Types of designers: architect and engineer 26 Constructor’s Role Builds the project according to the contract documents Provides value engineering and constructability input Types of constructors: – General (prime) contractor – Subcontractor (specialty/trade contractor) 27 Who Else? 1 2 3 4 ….. 28 Cost/Influence Curve 29 In-class activity Take 2 minutes to contemplate, discuss with your neighbors, and jot down notes on: – What is the difference between AEC industry (construction process in general), and manufacturing? 30 Things to do before next class Sign-up for Procore account Next week – Bidding & Procurement – Reading posted on Laulima – Come prepared for in-class discussion 31
