![Page 12: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Impact of Time on the Cost of Project Changes
![Page 13: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Business of Construction Management
![Page 14: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Planning Phase
• Select the designer• Define the project goals• Ensure the availability of sufficient
funds to complete the project• Select and purchase the project site, • Determine construction
procurement system and the form of construction contract to be used.
![Page 15: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Design Phase
• Primary requirement for any facility is that it must be safe!!
–Building codes• Owner and A/E schedule design
reviews – schematic drawings –preliminary drawings –working drawings
![Page 16: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bid Phase
First step is to decide whether or not to bid the job. Contractors are generally limited in their ability to bid by two factors:
– their bonding capacity and
– the policies of management
![Page 17: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Policies of ManagementFactors contractors consider in deciding whether or not to bid a particular project include:
– Location of the work
![Page 18: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Factors Contractors Consider
– Identity of the owner– Availability of key company
personnel
– Experience in the type of work solicited
![Page 19: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Factors Contractors Consider
–Whether or not there is financing for the project
–Size of the project.
![Page 20: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bid Preparation
Bid preparation is expensive!In preparing a bid, contractors must consider the costs of:
–Equipment–Labor–Materials–Subcontractors
![Page 21: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Bid Preparation
Consider the costs of:
– Job and company overhead, contingency, and profit
– Should also consider the number of competitor bidders and the bidding history of those competitors on similar projects
![Page 22: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Award Phase• Owner provides:
– Builder’s Risk insurance
• Successful bidder must provide:– Payment and performance bonds– Workers compensation insurance– Liability insurance– List of subcontractors– Detailed project schedule
![Page 23: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Notice to Proceed
Contractor cannot begin the work until the Notice to Proceed is received – so
Use the time between bid opening and contract award for detailed pre-project planning.
![Page 24: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pre-project planningPlanning how the work will proceed and in what sequence– Construction procedures– Type of equipment to be used– Job access– Location of the field office and
storage areas– Final selection of subcontractors
and suppliers
![Page 25: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pre-project planning
• Cash flow analysis should be completed to determine if the company needs to borrow money
• Detailed project schedule is prepared
• Work break down (WBS) and pay schedule are planned
![Page 26: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Construction Phase
Size of the contractor’s on-site project management organization is a function of the size and complexity of the project.
![Page 27: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Construction Company Team Functions
• Project managers (PM)
• Superintendents
• Schedulers
• Estimators
• Material expediters
![Page 29: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Owner’s Project Team • Size of the owner’s project team will
depend on the size and complexity of the project – small project (A/E)
• Large highway project–Resident engineer– Inspectors–Surveyors–Quality assurance technicians
![Page 30: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Managing Critical Activities
• Contracts are broken down into activities for purposes of scheduling, estimating, progress control, and cost control. Large projects can have several hundred activities, or more!
• Trick is to know which activities are critical
![Page 31: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Critical ActivitiesCritical activities are those that could impact the cost of the work by at least one half of one percent of the bid price:–For example, on a $1,000,000
project, any activity with a potential for cost over-run or under-run of $5,000 or more is by definition a critical activity.
![Page 32: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Pareto’s 80-20 rule
• 20% of the activities are critical and should be managed carefully
• The other 80% will average out…
![Page 33: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Project Control
• Cost control
• Cash Flow Analysis
• Schedule Control
• Material Management
![Page 34: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cost Control
Possible corrective actions could include:
• Adding additional trade workers or crews
• Adding or removing equipment• Working overtime• Bringing in additional subcontractors
![Page 35: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cost Control
Possible corrective actions could include:
• Making the job more efficient• Eliminating factors that cause
subcontractors to interfere with each other
![Page 36: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ProductivityLet R = Production rate
Where: T is total time, Q is the total quantity to be installedThe total cost is determined by the equation:
Ct = Ch T
Where Ct = total cost and Ch = cost per hour, or
Ct = Ch (Q/R)
R
QT

Profit (loss) To DateProject Manager must calculate profit (loss) to date on a regular, weekly basis– Cost to date– Re-estimated cost to complete– Amount billed– Contract amount (including change
orders)– Example 3.2
![Page 41: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Schedule Control• Chapter 4• Critical path - By definition, activities
on the critical path will delay the entire project if they are delayed
• Physical progress can be compared with the financial progress to determine if the project is:– on schedule or late– over budget or under budget
![Page 42: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Materials Management Ensure that materials are delivered in a timely manner to the site in the quantity and quality required. When materials arrive they are:
– Counted
– Inspected
– if necessary, Tested
![Page 43: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Materials Management
Must determine the latest order date accounting for the:
–shop drawing • Preparation• submission and • approval time
–lead time required for fabrication–shipping
![Page 44: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Materials Management
Too many materials stored on the site can lead to problem of:
– space allocation
– weather damage
– theft
![Page 45: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Construction Related DesignTemporary structures such as:
– Scaffolding– Forms– Temporary bridges– Shoring– Cofferdams– Rigging
must be designed by the contractor
![Page 46: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Risk Management
Risks are inherent in construction• Industry is moving toward allocating
risks to the party most able to control the specific risk
• Managing risks means:–minimizing risks– insuring against risks–and sharing risks
![Page 47: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Risk Management
• Construction risks - inability of a subcontractor to perform
• Economic risks - cost escalation
• Political/public risks - disapproval of the required project permits
• Physical risks - subsurface conditions
![Page 48: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Risk Management
• Contractual and legal risks - risks assigned by contract over which the contractor has no control
• Design risks - a project design that is not constructible
![Page 49: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Risk Management
• Worker injured or killed
• A job accident that injures the public
• A construction vehicle is involved in an accident off the project
![Page 50: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Risk Management
Risks are best assumed by the party with the ability to best control the risk
The best way to manage risks is to avoid them, but the construction industry is characterized by risks!
![Page 51: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Risk Management• Contractors manage risks by
purchasing insurance
• Examining the contract language addressing changed conditions…
• Contractor safety programs• Subcontracting is also a form of risk
management –require performance and payment bonds
![Page 52: construction management](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012910/5695d4611a28ab9b02a141cf/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Value Engineering (VE)
• Function analysis or value analysis
• Main objective to reduce project cost, without reducing the quality of the structure
• VE exists because contractors know better ways to build projects, and owners are willing to pay for that knowledge!!
