This document provides an overview of construction engineering and management. It discusses the key stages of a construction project including briefing, designing, tendering, construction, monitoring and commissioning. It also outlines the unique features of construction projects, the works carried out, stakeholders involved, and how to breakdown a project using a work breakdown structure (WBS). The stages involve defining project objectives, preparing feasibility reports and designs, appointing contractors through tendering, executing construction works, monitoring progress, and ensuring facilities function as intended upon commissioning. Stakeholders include investors, consumers, contractors, designers, employees and suppliers. A WBS further divides project work into hierarchical levels from sub-projects to operations.

5. 1. Introduction
• A ‘Project’ is defined as a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a
unique product or service or result.
• The product in case of construction project is the constructed facility such
as residential building , bridge , highway , canal etc.
• Construction projects involves varying manpower and duration that can
range from a few weeks to more than 5 years.
6. Unique features of a construction project
→One time activity - it must be performed correctly the first every time
→A start and finish
→Complexity- it is multidiscipilanary because it involves a set of
interrealated tasks to be done by specialists.
→Involvment of several people on a adhoc basis.
→limited set of resources
7. Continue...
• High cost
• A time frame for completion
• High risk of failure
• Difficulty in defining quality standards
• Sequencing of activities and phases
• Uncertainity exists
8. 2. Stages of Construction project
Stages involved in a construction project are :
1. Briefing stage
2. Designing stage
3. Tendering stage
4. Construction stage
5. Comissioning Stage
9. 2.1 Briefing stage
• This is also called as a ‘Report stage’.
• Briefing stage involves the ideas originated by individuals are studied with regard to
cost and benefits so as to establish the economic viability or social utility of a
project.
• The briefing stage leads on the objective on the scope and feasibility of the project .
A feasibility report is prepared in this stage.
10. Continue...
• The purpose of briefing stage is to enable the client/ owner to specify project
function and permissible cost so that engineers, architects and other members of
construction team can correctly interpret the owner’s wishes and provide a likely
estimate of costs.
12. 2.2 Designing Stage
• The Second stage in construction project is designing stage.
• In this stage the realistic and detailed cost estimate of the project can
prepared .
• It is very important stage in the field of construction because any
modification after this stage would prove expensive.
13. Continue...
Design related tasks in designing stage are :
• Arranging the documents of the construction contract
• Qualifing of design professionals
• Evaluate the design and making necessary decisions
• Updating and reviewing design documents
• Conducting design peer review
14. 2.3 Tendering Stage
In this stage tenderers are invited and the contract is given at the best
available terms agreed mutually between the owner and the contractor.
Purpose:
To appoint a contractor , who will undertake the construction work on the
most suitable terms and conditions of quality , cost and completion time.
15. 2.4 Construction Stage
• The Construction stage involves the execution of construction work as per
design, drawings and within agreed limits of time , cost and specified
quality.
• This stage involves inter-releted activities.
• The failure or delay in one activity may disrupt the entire construcvtion
schedule
16. Continue...
 Activities involved in construction stage:
• Preparation of : -Construction Schedule
- Manpower Schedule
- Material Delivry schedule
• Control of : - Supply of materials
- Supervision for quality control
- Supply of necessary drawings
17. 2.5 Project Monitoring and control Stage
A construction project works in a dynamic environment and situations, to
keep it on track it is necessary to monitor and control the work at regular
intervals and adopt suitable controlling measures.
Purpose:
To see that the progress , cost and quality obtained in any project is within
the agreed time schedule, cost and specification.
19. 2.6 Comissioning Stage
In this stage in which the performance of the structure is evaluated and the
proposed nature of maintanance and reir are considered.
Purpose :
To ensure that the construction work has been carried as per specifications, and the
facilities developed functions properly as given in the design.
20. 3. Works carried out in a construction project
On- Site Off- Site
Excavation
Planning
Surveying
Designing
Concreting work
Estimation of Quantities
Reinforcement- bending, placing and positioning
Laboratory Testings
Supervision
Scheduling of tasks
Inspection
Procuring materials
Masonry works
21. 4. Stakeholders of a Construction project
• Investor
• Consumer
• Contractor
• Architects and Designers
• Employees
• Suppliers
22. 5. Work Breakdown Structure
• The functional elements of a project and their inter-relationship are
determined by a hiearchical technique known as work breakdown
structure.
• They are further divided into packages, work package into activities and
activites into operations or processes.
23. Continue...
• The project work breakdown process involves breaking down of the
project work into managable part arranged in a hierarchical order till the
level is reached.
• The work breakdown is further divided into five levels.
1) Sub- Project level
2) Task level
3) Work package level
4) Activity level
5) Operations level
