CE 413- Design and Construction Process (2)

The document outlines the design and construction process, emphasizing the importance of selecting an appropriate process that affects financing, team selection, cost, quality, and schedule. It details the three phases of a project: project definition, design, and construction, and highlights the need for clear responsibilities among team members. Additionally, it classifies projects into building, infrastructure, and process sectors, each with distinct design and contracting approaches.

METHODS AND PROJECT


MANAGEMENT
Chapter 2 - Design and Construction Process
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
• The process selected affects financing; the selection of team members;
and the project cost, quality, and schedule.
• The owner must select a process for design and construction. There are
many choices of processes, each with advantages and disadvantages.
• A successful project is achieved by people working together with
clear responsibilities.
• Design and construction projects progress through three phases:
• Project definition
• Design
• Construction
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
• It should be mentioned that for a total project there are business planning
steps that precede design and there is an operations and maintenance
phase that follows construction.
• Project definition sets the stage for design work, and design work sets the
stage for construction work.
• The project definition phase involves discovery to identify
and analyze project requirements and constraints.
• Although the initial focus is on the owner's requirements and constraints,
it must be recognized that the owner's requirements and constraints
carry over to both the designer and contractor.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
• Projects can generally be classified into three sectors:
• Building sector projects include commercial buildings, schools, office
buildings, and hospitals.
• Where the architect is the prime designer, the designer follows: schematic design,
design development and contract documents.
• Schematic design produces the basic appearance of the project. building elevations,
layout of floors, room arrangements with building and overall features of the project.

• Infrastructures Sector projects include transportation systems, such as city streets,


county roads, highways, airports, or navigational waterways.
• Also includes utility projects, such as water and sewer line systems, gas
distribution lines, electrical transmission and distribution, telephone, and cable
lines.
• The prime designer is the engineer, who generally prepares a complete design
before construction contracts are created.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
• Process sector projects include chemical plants, oil refining,
pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, and electrical generating.
• Engineers are the prime designers of process sector projects.
• The stages of design include preliminary engineering, detailed
engineering, and the development of the contract documents.
• Preliminary engineering – involves designing, produces the major
processes and major required in the project.
• Detailed engineering – detailed engineering design

• Contract documents- are the final drawings and specification for


constructing the project.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
• Depending on the project delivery method, procurement may start during
the design phase. For example, as soon as the specification is
completed for a major piece of equipment, a purchase order may be
issued to procure the equipment if it is along a lead time item that must
be ordered in advance of construction to ensure that it can be installed
without delaying the project.
• In the current practice of competitive bid projects, contractors bid on the
project after the contract documents are completed. After accepting the
bid, the contractor must develop shop drawings to build the project. Shop
drawings are prepared
• By the contractor and submitted to the designer for approval. The shop
drawings show the detailed fabrication and installation that will be used
during construction.
CONTRACTING ARRANGEMENTS
CONTRACTING ARRANGEMENTS
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
• Project Scope - identifies those items and activities that are required to
meet the needs of the owner.

• The purpose of project scope definition is to provide sufficient information


to identify the work to be performed and to allow the design to proceed
without significant changes that may adversely affect the project budget
and schedule.
• Before design is started, scope must adequately define deliverables, that
is, what will be furnished.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Project strategy- Contract strategy identifies the overall organizational
structure and the allocation of risk among the contracting parties.

• The owner may have a large engineering staff that can handle the entire
project: design, procurement, and construction.
