Date : xx / xx / xxxx

Professor : Prof.dr.Nerman Rustempasic Assistant : M.Sc. Ahmed El Sayed

INTRODUCTION

In order to talk about the construction process, we should understand who participates in this process and what are theirs function.

By understanding the function and the definitions of each important word , we will be able to make a chart in which people and process will be sort from top ( investiture ) to the bottom ( the building ).

If any process should be done effectively, the working and staff charts ( scheme ) must be as perfect as it possible, and must be with good timing and with well organization.

By the end of the lecture, you should be able to make a chart by yourself.

DEFINITIONS

Construction : object created by constructing works, connected to ground, performed from building products with common installations and equipment, or integrated complex with facility or equipment as well as technical - technological units or solo installations connected to the ground. Or units connected to the ground but was not made by construction works, if they change the purpose of the land.

Construction works : Performing constructional and other works (preparation, land, and structural, installation, finishing and mounting of construction products, plant or equipment) with which new buildings are built, existing buildings are reconstructed, removed or maintained.

DEFINITIONS

Constructing / Building means the process of designing, constructing, usage and removal of the construction (building),everything that is related to the constructing of the new buildings can be applied in an appropiate way to reconstructing, maintance and removal of the old buildings.

Construction site : is a place,land or buildings (including other areas that are temporarily occupied ) needed to execute the construction works or the application of appropriate building technology and security, on which to build, reconstruct, remove or perform maintenance work building

DEFINITIONS

Integration / Implantation : performing constructional and other works which connect construction products, installations, equipment or facilities so that they become an integral part of the building and can not be separated/ removed from Buildings without affacting the essential requirements for the construction.

Preparation works : construction of the temporary buildings and other construction works for the organization and decoration of Construction site and to enable proper application of construction technology.

DEFINITIONS

Reconstruction of buildings: Performing constructional and other works which affect the fulfillment of essential requirements for the existing building and / or changing compliance with location of existing buildings in accordance with the conditions which has been built (upgrade, upgrade, remove the outer part of the building, work to change the purpose of buildings and processes, etc.)

PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION participants in the construction are :

Investitor Designer Supervising Engineer contractor and Reviser

scale)

If the Executional project was not made by the main designer of the project, The Designer should compliance his opinions with the Main Designer on the Execuational project.
