A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service.
(PMBOK)
•The project has a definite beginning and end.
• Has defined Scope and objectives, but they may change during construction.
• The project is temporary work.
• The project is unique, projects often are not similar.
• The project Consumes time, cost, and resources to be done.

Types of construction projects
1. Residential Building
Include: homes, apartments, and low and high-rise buildings
Most common type of construction
Funded by individual owners for their own use or by developers for profit
The builder or the owner can design
2. Non-Residential Building
Include: commercial, educational, administrative, Health care, and industrial
Buildings.
Higher cost of construction
The contractors of such projects may be specialized in only that type of building.
3. infrastructure and heavy construction projects.

Projects such as highways, bridges, tunnels, water and sewer lines, offshore
platforms, air ports, and sewage treatment plants.
Most of these projects are publicly owned.
Heavy construction contractors, specialized contractors.
Large scale projects with high degree of complexity, Long duration, high cost.
Requires high technology, non – traditional construction methods & Equipment
Building Construction
Bridge Construction
Circular tank
Construction
Pipeline Construction
Characteristics of Construction industry
 Projects are large and consume much time, money, and
resources.
 Projects are unique.
 Organizations change from Project to Project
 On-site work stations are not permanent (location)
 Operations are conducted outside and thus subject to
Weather
 Uncertainty in Project cost and duration
 High risk
 Construction is different from Manufacturing
Project parties or stakeholders
The main participants (stakeholders) of project are:
1. Owner
2. Contractor
3. Consultant (Engineer)
A Conflict of interests exists between owner and Contractor
Other stakeholders include:

Project phases
project is divided into phases that a project passes through
from its initiation to its closure. that provide better
management and control of project operations.
Project phases are:

1.Feasibility study (Concept phase) ‫ﻣﺮﺣﻠﺔ دراﺳﺔ اﻟﺠﺪوي‬
2.Design phase (... - ‫ﻣﺮﺣﻠﺔ اﻟﺘﺼﻤﯿﻢ )ﻣﻌﻤﺎري – إﻧﺸﺎﺋﻲ – ﻛﮭﺮﺑﺎء – ﺻﺤﻲ‬

4.Construction phase ‫ﻣﺮﺣﻠﺔ اﻟﺘﻨﻔﯿﺬ‬
5.Turnover phase ‫ﻣﺮﺣﻠﺔ اﻟﻨﮭﻮ واﻟﺘﺴﻠﯿﻢ‬

Project Life Cycle
Phase-to-Phase Relationships
The project phases are sequential process designed to ensure proper control of the
project.There are two types of relationships:
1) Sequential relationship.
In a sequential relationship, a phase starts only when the previous phase is complete.
2) overlapping (concurrent ) relationship.
In an overlapping relationship, a phase starts prior to completion of the previous
one.
Characteristics of Life Cycle
Project Cost, Resource, and staffing levels are low at the start, higher
at the middle and toward the end, and drop as project closes
Impact of poor Project Management
Bad quality products
Project failure (e.g. pavement settlement)
Rework
Loss of project scope
Loss of information
Delays and cost overruns
Higher Disputes between construction parties
Confusion and conflicts
