 WHAT IS A PROJECT? A NON-ROUTINE, NON-REPETITIVE UNDERTAKING NORMALLY WITH DISCRETE TIME, FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE GOALS. IS MADE UP OF A GROUP OF INTERRELATED WORK ACTIVITIES CONSTRAINED BY A SPECIFIC SCOPE, BUDGET, AND SCHEDULE ALL PROJECTS MUST HAVE: BEGINNING, AND AN END. 2 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  CHARACTERISTICS OF A PROJECT SCOPE: EACH PROJECT IS UNIQUE AND MUST HAVE A WRITTEN SCOPE OF WORKS TIME: ALL PROJECTS MUST HAVE A DEFINITE BEGINNING AND END. DEVELOPING THE SCHEDULE INVOLVES BREAKING DOWN THE WORK INTO MANAGEABLE ACTIVITIES, ESTIMATING THE DURATION OF EACH ACTIVITY, AND PLACING THEM IN A LOGICAL SEQUENCE. COST: ALL PROJECTS ARE CONSTRAINED BY LIMITED MONETARY FUNDING RESOURCES. THE PROJECT MANAGER DEVELOPS THE BUDGET BASED ON THE COST ESTIMATES AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH PROJECT PHASE AND REFINES IT ONCE THERE IS BETTER INFORMATION DEFINING THE SCOPE. 3 YURIY JOSE B.

THE WORK IS DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DEVELOPED DURING THE DESIGN PHASE. THE PROJECT’S HIGHEST LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, IN TERMS OF NUMBERS OF PERSONNEL AND COSTS INCURRED PER DAY, OCCUR DURING CONSTRUCTION. 22 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  CONSTRUCTION PHASE: ROLE OF THE OWNER MAKE TIMELY AND DECISIVE DECISIONS. ACQUIRE PROJECT STAFF WITH EXPERTISE/EXPERIENCE IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT. RETAIN A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER CONSULTANT DELEGATE LEVELS OF AUTHORITY THROUGH THE PROJECT TEAM TO HANDLE CONSTRUCTION ISSUES SUCH AS CONTRACTOR CHANGE REQUESTS.

SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  CONSTRUCTOIN PHASE: SCHEDULE CONTROL THE PROJECT MANAGER FOCUSES IN THE BIG PICTURE, THE MASTER SCHEDULE, TO MANAGE INTERFACES BETWEEN CONTRACTOR, THIRD PARTY, AND OWNER’S CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. FOR LARGER AND MORE COMPLEX PROJECTS YOU WILL REQUIRE THE CM TO PROVIDE A SCHEDULER TO MONITOR CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS USING SCHEDULING SOFTWARE TO MAINTAIN A MASTER SCHEDULE OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. FOR SMALLER PROJECTS THE USE OF HAND DRAWN BAR CHARTS WORKED OUT DIRECTLY WITH THE RE(S) SHOULD BE ADEQUATE TO SERVE AS A MASTER SCHEDULE 26 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  CONSTURCTION PHASE – COST AND CHANGE CONTROL COST CONTROL’S OBJECTIVE IN CONSTRUCTION IS TO COMPLETE THE CONTRACTS WITHIN BUDGET. THE MOST EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO CONTROLLING THE COST OF CHANGES IS A MANAGEMENT CULTURE THAT RESOLVES CONTRACTOR RFCS IN A MANNER THAT IS: TIMELY, DECISIVE, AND EQUITABLE. 27 YURIY JOSE B.

INSPECTION REPORT OF CONTRACTOR’S WORK AND PRACTICES OBSERVED BY THE CM’S CONSTRUCTION INSPECTORS COVERING CONSTRUCTION WORK PERFORMED, INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN OR RECEIVED, UNSATISFACTORY CONDITIONS, DELAYS ENCOUNTERED, MANPOWER AND EQUIPMENT, OR OTHER PROBLEMS.

THE TIMING AND DURATION OF THIRD PARTY WORK REQUIRES CAREFUL NEGOTIATION WITH THIRD PARTIES DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT TIME REQUIRED FOR THE WORK AND THE LIMITED INFLUENCE AN AGENCY HAS WITH RESPECT TO CONTROLLING THE WORK OF A THIRD PARTY. 31 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  CONSTRUCTION PHASE: QUALITY MANAGEMENT QUALITY MANAGEMENT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE COVERS: REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS TO VERIFY THAT QUALITY ASPECTS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED SURVEILLANCE OF CONSTRUCTION FOR ADHERENCE TO QUALITY REQUIREMENTS IN PROCESS AND RECEIVING POINT QUALITY INSPECTIONS AUDITS OF CONSULTANT, CONTRACTOR, AND SUPPLIER QUALITY PROGRAMS FOR ADEQUACY AND COMPLIANCE. 32 YURIY JOSE B.

THROUGH COMMISSIONING, THE OWNER MINIMIZES: THE RISK OF DELAYS, COST OVERRUNS, UNDERPERFORMING HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION SYSTEMS; ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS FAILURE AND FAULTS; AND UNRELIABLE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. 35 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH IN COMMISSIONING PHASE INITIATE A COMMISSIONING PLAN ASSURE SYSTEM COORDINATION THROUGH INTEGRATION TESTING. REQUIRE THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUALS WELL IN ADVANCE OF CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION. ALLOW ADEQUATE TIME TO TRAIN STAFF WITH THE NEW EQUIPMENT. DOCUMENT THE AS-BUILT CONDITIONS AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THEM. ACCEPT EQUIPMENT AFTER IT IS IN OPERATION TO ASSURE A FULL WARRANTY PERIOD. 36 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  COMMISSIONING PHASE: OWNER FURNISHED EQUIPMENT ALMOST EVERY JOB WILL HAVE SOME LEVEL OF OWNER FURNISHED EQUIPMENT DUE TO LONG LEAD TIME, SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT, OR UNKNOWN REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME OF BIDDING. THE PROJECT MANAGER IS RESPONSIBLE TO FULLY INTEGRATE AND ACCOUNT FOR THE OWNER FURNISHED EQUIPMENT WITH THE REST OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WORK. 37 YURIY JOSE B.

SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  COMMISSIONING PHASE: AS-BUILT DOCUMENTATION THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR SHOULD MARK UP THE DRAWING AS CHANGES OCCUR. THE DESIGNER OF THE RECORD REVIEWS, APPROVES, AND DOCUMENTS THE CHANGES INTO FINAL AS-BUILT DRAWINGS AND CONFORMED SPECIFICATIONS. AS-BUILT DRAWINGS WILL SAVE SIGNIFICANT LIFE CYCLE COSTS AND AVOID POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS DURING OPERATIONS AND LIFE OF THE FACILITIES. 39 YURIY JOSE B. SESICAN CIVIL ENGINEER  PROJECT CLOSEOUT PHASE CLOSING CONTRACTUAL ACTIVITIES REQUIRES THE FINAL SETTLEMENT OF: PROJECT CONTRACTS, ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT DELIVERABLES, COLLECTION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS, AND APPROVAL OF FINAL PAYMENTS.
