Learning Outcomes
By the end of this topic, you should be able to:
Identify the project life cycle in construction

industry Describe the activities involve in every phases Identify parties involve in each phases

Definition of Project Life Cycle

The period between the START and END of a project. A project is in a continual state of change as it progresses from its start, as a need by the owner, through design development and finally construction.
Refers to a logical sequence of activities to

accomplish the projects goals or objectives.

Review each phase and identify the party that

most likely would be involved in performing the work of the phase and the party whose work will be most influenced by the results of the phase. Identify parties as one of the following: owner, consultant to the owner, designer, construction manager, construction contractor, project manager.

Construction Project Life Cycle

Phase 1 (Conceptual Phase)

Begins with an idea, a perceived need, a desire to improve or add to productive capacity of the wish for more efficient provision of some public service. Decision:
What sort of project delivery system to be used? How will the various parties be related? Will the owner engaged the design professional to

prepare plans and specifications and then contract separately with a construction contractor? Will single entity be responsible for the entire project?

Phase 1 (Conceptual Phase)

Decision:
Type of contract to be used with the contractor Will the contractor be paid a specified fixed price,

regardless of the actual quantities used in the project and regardless of the contractors actual costs? Will the quantities of materials be measured and the contractor paid on the basis of those quantities and pre-agreed upon unit prices for each material? Will the contractor be reimbursed for its actual costs, plus a fee, perhaps with an agreed-upon upper limit? The basis upon which the design professional will be paid

Phase 2 (Planning & Design Phase)

The project is fully defined and made ready for contractor selection and deployment. 3 stages:
1st stage: Goal: to define the projects objectives, consider

alternative ways to attain those objectives and ascertain whether the project is financially feasible.
Develop project brief Investigate various sites Sought public input Prepare a preliminary cost estimate Identify funding sources

Phase 2 (Planning & Design Phase)

2nd stage: Use the results of planning efforts to develop schematic diagrams showing the relationships among the various project components Detailed design of the structural, electrical, other systems 3rd stage: Prepare contract documents for use in contractor selection and installation work at the construction site Prepare written contract conditions, technical specifications, and a set of other documents related to the process of selecting the contractor and finalizing the contract with the successful tenderer.

Phase 3 (Execution)
Contractor selection phase
Owner decide: use open invitation or certain

contractors will be invited to submit offers Contractors have to consider a number of factors in deciding whether they will make the effort to assemble a proposal for a particular project. Submittal, opening and evaluation of tenders, the selection of the successful contractor and the finalization of the construction contract.

Phase 3 (Execution)
Project mobilization phase After the contractor is selected, a number of activities must

be completed before installation work can begin at the project site. Secure various bonds, licenses and insurances Prepare detailed program for the construction activities. Convert the cost estimate to a project budget Establish the system for tracking actual project costs Organize the worksite with provisions for temporary buildings and services, access and delivery, storage areas and site security. Initiate the process of obtaining materials and equipment to be incorporated into the project Organize the arrangements for labour, the other essential resource

Phase 3 (Execution)
Project operation phase
Involves 3 basic areas: Monitoring and control Resource management Documentation and communication Monitoring and controlling Compare the actual schedule against project programme Check the cost status Quality management Manage the work safely Minimize adverse environmental impacts

Phase 3 (Execution)
Project operation phase
Resource management Concern with assigning and supervising personnel Assuring that the labour effort is sufficiently productive Manage materials and plants Submit various special drawings and samples to the owner for approval prior to installation.

Phase 4 (Transfer / Finish)

As the project nears completion, a number of

special activities must take place before the contractors responsibilities can be considered complete.
Testing and startup tasks
Final cleanup Inspections

Remedial work
Process of closing the construction office Terminate the staffs employment

Phase 4 (Transfer / Finish)

A set of as-built drawings that include all changes made

to the original design, operating manuals, warranties and a final report. Transfer and archive project records Conduct some sort of project critics and evaluation Operator training
