Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatWhat is a Project? A project is defined as a temporaryendeavor (effort) undertaken to create aunique product or service. Has a definitebeginning and a definite end.Project Characteristics TemporaryUniquedefinite beginning and a definite endConsumes resourcesSpring Semester 2016/20174

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatExamples of projects include: Developing a new product or service.Designing a new transportation vehicle.Constructing a building or facility.Running a campaign for political office.Implementing a new business procedure orprocess.What is Project Management? Project management is the application ofknowledge, skills, tools and techniques to projectactivities in order to meet or exceed stakeholderneeds and expectations from a project.Project management is the planning,organizing, directing, and controlling of companyresources for a relatively short-term objective thathas been established to complete specific goalsand objectives.Spring Semester 2016/20175

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatManagement Functions Planning Organizing Staffing Directing ControllingWhat are the stakeholder needs?competing demands among: time, cost, and quality. Identified requirements (needs) andunidentified requirements (expectations).Spring Semester 2016/20176

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatProject life cycle – Owner Perspective1)2)3)4)Pre t1) Pre constructionThis stage includes the following phases:1)2)3)4)conceptual planningschematic designdesign developmentcontract documentsSpring Semester 2016/201710

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay Dwaikat2) Procurement Also known as award or biding phaseThe project formally transits from design intoconstructionThis stage begins with a public advertisement for allinterested bidders or an invitation for specific biddersIn fast-track projects, this phase overlaps with thedesign phaseIt is very important stage to select highly qualifiedcontractors.is not wise to select the under-bid contractors3) Construction/Execution The actual physical construction of the projectThis stage takes the project from procurementthrough the final completionIt is the time where the bulk of the owner’sfunds will be spentIt is the outcome of all previous stages (i.e.,good preparation means smooth construction)Changes during construction may hinder theprogress of the projectSpring Semester 2016/201711

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay Dwaikat4) Close-out Transition from design and construction to the actual use ofthe constructed facilityIn this stage, the management team must providedocumentation, shop drawings, as-built drawings, andoperation manuals to the owner organization (as-builtdrawings are the original contract drawings adjusted toreflect all the changes that occurred)Assessment of the project team’s performance is crucial inthis stage for avoiding mistakes in the future.Actual activity costs and durations should be recorded andcompared with that was planned. This will serve as thebasis for the estimating and scheduling of future projectsCONSTRUCTION PLANNING ANDSCHEDULINGRef.Hinze, J.W., 2011. Construction Planningand Scheduling, 4th edition.

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatPlanning The road to project failure is paved withpoor plansPLANNING: Influencing the future bymaking decisions todaybased on missions, needs andobjectives. It is an art not science.Planning is NOT a one time activitySpring Semester 2016/201713

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatCategories of planning: TimeCostResourcesQualityContingencyTime Planning When to start when to finish Time plans will be transformed to schedule(time scale)Spring Semester 2016/201714

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatTime planning steps1) Divide project into component parts2) Sequencing component parts in order ofaccomplishment3) Assign durations to each componentpartCost Planning Allocating direct and indirect costs to the projectcomponents Expenditure/revenue ( cost / schedule integration)Spring Semester 2016/201715

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatResources Planning Construction Resources includes: moneyMaterialHuman resourcesEquipments and tools Check if the needed resources are available or NOT. Eliminate idle time. Resources should be planned considering the budget. Attention to critical resources for project success Quality Planning what is the minimum accepted quality? Should I exceed the required quality? How can I achieve this quality?Spring Semester 2016/201716

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatContingency (Risk) Planning Planning for variability and uncertainty“What if” planning to include items subjectto variability which are significantly impactproject cost and timeControl The heart of the project management system is CONTROLLINGthe execution of the works. The purpose of this control is to determine and predictdeviations in a project so corrective actions can be taken. The milestones of the control process are as follows: To determine the aimTo evaluate the actual results and to compare to the plannedSpring Semester 2016/201717

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatConstruction scheduling To be able to build up a successful schedule. Youneed to:1) Define activities2) Establish activities relationships3) assign durations to activities4) resources and costs allocation5) calculate early and late start/finish times6) calculate float values and identify the criticalpathConstruction activity Anything that must be accomplished inorder to complete the project may beconsidered as activity.Consumes time and resources.Activity duration: is the estimated timerequired to complete an activity.Spring Semester 2016/201719

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatProject BreakdownWork Breakdown StructureIntegrating Planning Integration of time, cost and resourceplanning against the same basic structure(WBS) Resource budgeting against time Cost budgets plotted against timeSpring Semester 2016/201720

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatThousands of tasks The psychologists say our brains cannormally comprehend around 7-9 itemssimultaneously.So, divide and subdivide the project.The WBS(Work Breakdown Structure) It is used to break down the project fromone main and relatively big entity intosmaller, defined, manageable andcontrollable units, usually called workgroups (packages) or tasks, or, at the finestlevel of detail (which is undesirable)activitiesSpring Semester 2016/201721

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatTake care!!! The deeper you go into the lower levels ofthe WBS, the more detailed knowledgeyou’ll need to know.See next slide.Level 1House1.0Level 2Level 3StructureMechanicalElectrical1.11.21.3Sub – str.Super str.HVACPlumbing1.1.11.1.21.2.11.2.2Earth 1.1.1.2BlindingfootingsTie beamsGround slabSpring Semester 2016/2017Str. elements1.1.2.1Finishing1.1.2.2columnsbeamsRoof slabPlasterTilepaintingDoors &windowsLevel 4Level 522

Because cost collections begins at a WBSelement,Spring Semester 2016/201723

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatConclusion The work breakdown structure defines theproduct elements (work packages).And their interrelations to each other andto the product.The WBS mostly ends with project tasks.Using the tasks you can extract project’sactivities.Construction schedulingSpring Semester 2016/201724

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatConstruction scheduling To be able to build up a successful schedule. Youneed to:1) Define activities2) Establish activities relationships3) assign durations to activities4) resources and costs allocation5) calculate early and late start/finish times6) calculate float values and identify the criticalpathConstruction activities Anything that must be accomplished inorder to complete the project may beconsidered as activity.Spring Semester 2016/201725

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatActivities Duration Activity duration: is the estimated timerequired to complete an activity.Activity duration mainly calculated basedon:1) the quantities take off.2) labor or machines productivity rates.Activities Duration Durations could be estimated byexperience. ( previous similar jobs)If experience not available, othersexperience could be utilized.If not, handbooks of productivity rates areavailable provide the required information.Spring Semester 2016/201726

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatActivities Duration Activity duration can be calculated asfollows:quantity of the work crew hoursqty / crew hour qty / crew hour is the productivity rate. Time unit is hours could be changed to working days.Activities Duration Example: assume that you have a floor tile area of 600 M2 , and theproductivity rate of a tile mason and one helper is 1.5 M2 / hour.By applying the previous equation:600M2 400 hours1.5 M2 / hIf the time unit is working day ( 8 hours) :400 hours 50 days8 hoursSpring Semester 2016/201727

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatActivities DurationBy using two tile masons and two helpers:600 M2 200 hours2 x 1.5 M2 / h If the time unit is working day ( 8 hours) :200 hours 25 days8 hoursActivities DurationBy using 3 tile masons and 3 helpers:600 M2 133.3 hours 134 hours3 x 1.5 M2/hIf the time unit is working day ( 8 hours) :134 hours 16.75 days 17 days8 hoursTime preferably should be rounded up :Spring Semester 2016/201728

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatActivities DurationBy using 4 tile masons and 4 helpers:600 M2 100 hours4 x 1.5 M2 / h If the time unit is working day ( 8 hours) :100 hours 12.5 days 13 days8 hoursActivities Duration Assume in the previous example that this activity is critical and should befinished within 5 days:If the working day is 8 hours :5 days X 8 hours 40 hours Apply the equation :600X M2 40 hoursX 15 M2 / h is the productivity rateThe crew number should be 15 / 1.5 10 gangsSpring Semester 2016/201729

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatActivities Duration Vs. Direct Cost Having defined an activity duration, itmeans that the planner have alreadydefined the number of resources that willbe employed in a particular activity.Knowing activity duration and resourcesemployed, it is simple to estimate theactivity direct cost.example If the daily production rate for a crew thatworks in an activity is 175 units/day andthe total crew cost per day is 100 . Thematerial unit cost is 1 .a. Calculate the time and cost it takes thecrew to finish 1400 unitsb. Calculate the total unit cost.Spring Semester 2016/201730

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatSolution Activity duration Qty / crew output 1400 / 175 8 daysCrew cost 8 days * 100 /day 800 Material cost 1400 unit * 1 1400 Total direct cost Labor cost Material Cost 800 1400 2200 Total Unit cost total cost / quantity 2200 / 1400 unit 1.57 /unitSome Factors that affects Duration1)2)3)4)5)6)7)8)9)Weather.Availability and training of Labor.Required qualityFamiliarity with the work.Quality of workmanship specified.Quality of management/supervision.Size and completion date of project.Length and incidence of holidays.Physical constraints of the site.

Concrete work, plaster, tile and etc.Usually use traditional resources, labor,material and equipments.Spring Semester 2016/201732

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatProcurement. Procurement activities: Influence the start of production activities. These activitiesinclude arranging for the acquisition of materials, money,equipment and manpower.Should be incorporated in the Schedule ifthey are long or special orders.Management. Management activities: support andadministrative tasks.Such as, preparing inspection reports,obtain shop drawing approvals. Trackingsubmittal approval and tests.Spring Semester 2016/201733

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatConstruction Scheduling methodsConstruction scheduling What is the difference between a scheduleand a Plan?The schedule: putting the plan on timescale.Schedule: what would be done in a certaintime and who will be working.Spring Semester 2016/201734

Construction Project ManagementDr. Luay DwaikatMost Common Scheduling methods common scheduling methodologies:Bar Chart (Gantt Chart)Critical Path Method (CPM)PERT (program Evaluation & ReviewTechnique) Linear Scheduling Method (LSM)Bar Chart or Gantt chart Bar chart is a collection of activitieslisted vertically, and the horizontalscale represents the time.First applied by HENRY GANTT in 1917Spring Semester 2016/201735
