Construction Management

Eng.Nouran Gaad & Eng Shaza Omar Spring 2021

Project Management is the
application of knowledge, skills , tools
and techniques of project activities to
meet requirement
•Construction Management
•Is the art of managing
resources to meet project
requirement ( Time , Cost ,
Quality , and Scope
•Study of Methods and
Techniques used to place
physical materials and elements
of Construction at site
•Construction management:
Study of how construction
resources can be best applied

Planning Phase
What are the main questions we used to construct a effective Plan?
What , How , Who ,Whom ,and Where
Successful Project Manager relies on thorough planning.
 What :This begins by defining the project objectives with sufficiently
detailed information. The WBS also establishes the framework for
managing the work to its completion. Create WBS
 How : The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides the foundation for
defining work as it relates to project objectives. Activity List , Relation
ships
 Who : Resources that will construct the Projects ( Material , Labor,
Equipment, SC)
 Where : Location of the project and site layout and sequencing of
work

Project Scope

 Project Scope Management includes the processes required to ensure

all the work required to complete project successfully

Scope Creep: refers to changes, continuous or uncontrolled

growth in a project’s scope, at any point after the project begins.

True/ False

 F
___1A work breakdown structure is a useful tool in project management
because it addresses the timing of individual work elements.
 T 2. One responsibility of a project manager is to make sure that the
____
project meets its quality goals.
 T
____ 3. Gantt charts give a timeline for each of a project's activities, but
they do not adequately illustrate the interrelationships between the
activities and the resources.
 T
____ 4. The ES of an activity that has only one predecessor is simply the
EF of that predecessor.

T
____ 5. Every network has at least one critical path.

F
____ 6. The critical path can be determined by use of either the "forward
pass" or the "backward pass."
11
 Project governance includes the centralization of project
management processes and practices. This involves setting
standards for project selection and overseeing project
Some of MCQ management activities, which results in options for continuous
improvement.

• Identify means to examine or look at to verify

12
• Define means to describe the meaning or
characteristics of something

Q.25 What is the difference
between planning and
scheduling?
 Planning is essentially the determination of what tasks must be
performed. Schedules provide a time frame in which the tasks or
activities are to take place. Planning can be considered to be similar to
a list of activities that must be performed, similar to a “to do” list.
Scheduling would consist of putting those “to do” items on a calendar

14
Describe two different network
schedules that might be generated for
the same project. Explain why?

 The schedules that might be developed on a project will generally differ in the
level of detail that is represented.
 The master schedule might/show activities in a more generic sense as these
would be utilized by upper managers in a firm to quickly grasp the general
status of a project as it pertains to the schedule.
 For Communication purposes, the network schedule might be converted to a
bar chart. Another network schedule might be utilized to schedule the tasks of
specific crews.
 This might be appropriately shown with a network diagram. While the level of
detail may not necessarily show every task that must be performed on a given
day, there must be sufficient detail to permit field personnel to begin to
understand the general scheduling objectives at a particular point in time on a
15
project.
Q.31What is an example of a procurement activity
that might be a valuable inclusion in a network?
Conversely, what is an example of a procurement
activity that has little merit for inclusion in a network?

 Major pieces of equipment that are to be incorporated in a project are

often included on schedules.
 This is especially true of equipment (or materials) that have a long lead
time associated with their fabrication and delivery.
 Any items that are in short supply or that cannot be readily obtained
should be considered for inclusion in the procurement activities on a
schedule.
 When materials or equipment are particularly expensive, their inclusion
may also be desirable so that the cash flow impact can be more fully
evaluated.

Assignment #1
Scope, WBS

17
WBS( work breakdown structure
WBS is an essential step during the initial project phases; as soon as
) the basic scope has been identified, the initial WBS can be created
with limited scope information
“ A deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed
by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the
required deliverables.
 The WBS is used in projects as follows:
1. To define project’s scope of work in terms of deliverables and
further decompose these deliverables into components.
2. To provide the project management team with a framework on
which to base project status and progress reports.
3. To facilitate communication between the Project Manager and
the Stakeholders throughout the life of the project.
4. As a key input to other project management processes and
deliverables.

18
WBS
 The WBS indicates the project scope, The WBS subdivides the project
work into smaller,
 Moreover, Although WBS is a key input to these project management
processes and deliverables, the WBS is not a substitute for any of these on
its own.
 The planned work contained in the lowest level WBS components, which
are called work packages, can be scheduled, cost estimated, monitored
and controlled.
 Definition
Work Package:
“ a deliverable or project work component at the lowest level of each branch
of the work breakdown structure. The work package includes the schedule
activities and schedule milestones required to complete the work package
deliverable.

REPRESENTATION ( quiz)

 Representation of the
WBS:
The WBS can be
represented in a variety of
ways including Graphical,
Textual or Tabular views.

EXAMPLE FROM THE
ASSIGNMENT
 PRBOLEM (1):
Construct a WBS for a project consisting of 2 identical residential
buildings, each having 5 floors (ground floor is denoted by floor 1, and
so forth). Assume that the skeleton is composed of conventional slab-
beam-column system and that the finishing works in each floor include:
(1) flooring, (2) plastering & painting, (3) ceramic works, (4) plumbing,
(5) electrical works and (6) doors & windows.
Breakdown the concrete works for the skeleton of the building

may order to reach the activities level.
