PROJECT

MANAGEMENT
FOR
ENGINEERING
AND CONSTRUCTION

1.1 PROJECT DEFINITION

A project is an endeavor that is undertaken to produce the
results that are expected from the requesting party. It may be
design only, construction only, or a combination of design
and construction.

components of project:
Scope
Budget
Schedule

1.1 PROJECT DEFINITION

SCOPE represents a work to be accomplished.

1.1 PROJECT DEFINITION

BUDGET refers to costs measured in dollars and/or
labor-hours of work.

1.1 PROJECT DEFINITION

SCHEDULE

refers to the logical sequencing and timing of

the work to be performed.

1.1 PROJECT DEFINITION

A balance between these components must be fully
recognize because any change in one corresponds to
change in the others.

1.2 RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARTIES

Owners/Sponsor

1.2 RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARTIES

Designer

responsible for producing the design alternatives,

computations, drawings, and specifications.

1.2 RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARTIES

Contractor responsible for furnishing all labor, equipment,
material, and know-how necessary to build the
project.

1.3 FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT

PLANNING
ORGANIZING
STAFFING
DIRECTING
CONTROLING

1.3 FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT

PLANNING is formulating a course of action to guide a
project to completion.
ORGANIZING is the arrangement of resources in a systematic
manner to fit the project plan. The work breakdown is consist of
tasks, subtasks and work packages.

STAFFING is the selection of individuals who have the

expertise to produce the work
DIRECTING is the guidance of work required to
complete a project.
CONTROLING is the establishment of a system to measure,
report, and forecast deviations in the project scope, budget, and
schedule.

1.4 ROLE OF A PROJECT MANAGER

The project manager must achieve a quality project

within time, budget, and scope constrains despite all the
risks and problems that are encountered.

WORKING WITH PROJECT TEAMS

PROJECT TEAMS
Project teams are made up of all the participants in the
project.

PROJECT TEAMS
For any team, there must be a leader.
In many respects the project manager acts as a coach
making sure that his or her team understands and is
focused on the desired outcome of the project.

TEAMWORK
A well-organized team resolves disputes, solves problems
and communicates effectively.

WORKING WITH MULTIPLE TEAMS

Each triangle in Figure
represents a team.

Regardless of the size

and number of teams,
there must be a single
head project manager
to make final
decisions and keep
focus on the project.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
Due To The Dynamic Nature Of Project Environments, It Is
Inevitable That Conflicts Among Team Members Will Arise.
Resolution of conflicts can lead to innovation and to ideas
about how to improve work efficiency.

DEVELOPING A CONSENSUS
Sometimes multiple solutions to a problem exist. The
project manager must work with the team to develop
a consensus regarding selection of the best solution.

CHAPTER III

PROJECT INITIATION

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Design and construction projects progress through
three phases:
Project definition
Design
Construction
Projects can be generally be classified into three
sectors:
Buildings
Infrastructure
Processes

ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING AND

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Major achievements in computer hardware and software have produced twodimensional (2-D) and three dimensional (3-D) computer aided design (CAD)
systems.

The CAD technology has progressed to versatile modeling systems that can
be used to throughout the design, engineering and construction phases.

The result is more efficient construction operations and less

work.

PHASES OF A PROJECT

A project is in a continual state as it progresses from its start

through design development and, finally construction. During
each phase, it is the responsibility of the project manager to
keep all work within the approved scope, budget and schedule.

The quality and total cost must be considered and can

only be achieved through extensive input from the owner who
will ultimately use the project.
