Preconstruction Conference… Conducted by owner’s representative
Owner & user may attend
Sets tone for the project General agenda items:
Review contract docs, award & notice to proceed info Responsibilities of all parties Review schedule & payment; contingencies; damages Quality Control Plan & inspection procedure Submittals: shop drawings, samples, record drawings Changes, mods & claims procedures Site safety & operational considerations Labor & union procedures: EEO, Davis-Bacon wages Emergency procedures & work stoppage Project Closeout & Beneficial Occupancy

Quality Control & Assurance…
Quality control vs. quality assurance Required on government contracts Inspection & Testing manual
Policy matters that govern acceptance Inspection procedures Technical checklists List of testing for materials & equipment Work flow diagrams
![Page 9: CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Quality Control Value Engineering Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697c0101a28abf838ccac4b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Quality Control Process…1. Must have a Quality Control Plan or Manual
An inspection" system”2. Special considerations:
Timing of inspections; preclude delays Protection of work in place Most work is irreversible; i.e.. concrete, foundations Logistical sequencing Follow plans & specifications; changes not authorized Report and correct errors & deviations from spec;
documents3. Three phased inspections… before each task
Preparatory inspection Pre-inspection Final inspection
4. QC Staff must be qualified, trained & dedicated

Inspection & Testing Manual… Detailed inspection procedures:
Preparatory inspection: work flow, submittals, methods Initial inspection: workmanship & components Follow-up: results of work, tests, appearance
Acceptance/rejection criteria… per specs Testing required & frequency… specs & sched Responsibilities for testing… specific names Outside labs & testing agencies… list or schedule Timing of inspections & work… WBS & sched Reports required, frequency & format… contract Documentation of test results… contract

Value Engineering
![Page 12: CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Quality Control Value Engineering Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697c0101a28abf838ccac4b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is VE… really?
VE is a “systematic” analysis of a project design to obtain the most value for every dollar of cost…
The elimination of any part of the project that adds to cost without adding to functionality…
Not only design & construction, but life cycle costs as well…
![Page 13: CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Quality Control Value Engineering Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697c0101a28abf838ccac4b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A second look at the design…
Major cost items Materials cost & availability Construction methods Shipping costs Organizing & project admin
But…
![Page 14: CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Quality Control Value Engineering Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697c0101a28abf838ccac4b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Most productive when…
Contractor is involved Advantage of contractor’s expertise in
purchasing, construction methods, organizing, techniques and quality control…
Generally requires an incentive clause in the contract…
![Page 15: CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Quality Control Value Engineering Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697c0101a28abf838ccac4b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But there’s are risks…
VE analyst may not fully understand the design basis…
VE generates changes that could delay project completion…
VE may not recognize field conditions that might outweigh cost savings…
VE could result in lower quality components…
![Page 16: CVE 4070 Construction Engineering Quality Control Value Engineering Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697c0101a28abf838ccac4b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Role of the owner’s representative...
Advocate for the owner & the project…
Control the risks…
Retain the overall value of the project

Roof Calculations…
Roof slope given as 4 on 12 slope….So… how much larger is the sloped roof than the flat roof?
Roof slope factor = 12.649/12.000 = 1.054
So the sloped roof will be 1.054 x area of the flat roof
r 4
12
r2 = 42 + 122
r = 16 + 144
r = 160
r = 12.649

Case Study A chemical facility was to be redesigned. A key requirement was that the
new design should operate at a higher efficiency than the existing facility.
The plant operator had completed conceptual engineering and simulation to finalize the process flow scheme.
There was considerable skepticism that value engineering might improve the design. However, the client was open-minded and the engineering team persuasive and it was agreed that the exercise would proceed.
The value engineering facilitator prepared functional flow diagrams. A representative of the operator and several contractor engineers from different disciplines met for 2 sessions, each of which lasted for 4 hours.
During these well-planned and carefully facilitated sessions, 12 ideas were generated, of which 6 were deemed practical. The most significant idea that emerged from these focused brainstorming sessions was to change a column configuration from parallel to series, thereby saving significant condenser costs and improving the energy efficiency tremendously.
The idea was refined and implemented. Overall, the capital cost saving was about $1 million (5% of total capital), with an operating cost saving of about $4 million/year.
