CONSTRUCTION PROJECT CYCLE

Construction Project Life Cycle

 It is the process or the order of completing tasks
in a construction project.

 It acts as a guide and helps a construction

professional to focus on the entire process of
completing a project.

 It helps to ensure that construction projects are

well-organized and completed in efficient and
timely manner.

 Understanding the construction project life cycle

is not only relevant for people involved in
construction project management but also
helpful for others like building owners, users and
contractors.
Five Phases Of Construction Project Life Cycle
1. Initiation Phase
 Also considered as “conceptualization phase”.

 In this phase, objectives of the project will

establish and justifications for proposed
options and ideas will examine thoroughly.

 Questions to answer:
-Can we do the project?
-Should we do the project?

 After the approval of the project, a project

manager will be appointed for further
evaluation of the project elements.
 2. Planning Phase
 The most important phase of a construction
project lifecycle where the entire scope of
the project is defined.

 This outlines the detailed plans and strategies

to meet the project’s objectives.
 Questions to answer:
-What needs to be done?
-Who needs to do that?
-How long will each task to take?
-How much everything cost? -What are the
potential risks? How can these be managed?

 To guarantee that every project detail is taken

into account, the person in charge must use
effective construction management
strategies.

 At the end of the planning stage, there should

be a solid project plan with thoroughly
crafted budget and timeline and is ready to be
executed.
 3. Implementation and Execution Phase
 This is the phase where the project plan is put into motion
and the work of the project is performed practically on
site.
 The importance of project management should recognize
by those people who will work in the construction to
ensure that all tasks to be carried out are performed on
time and on budget.
 There might some adjustments and changes in the
progress of the project that may affect the cost and
timeline of the project and it should be reported to keep
tracks/control on the progress and direction of the project.
4. Controlling and Monitoring Phase

 This phase regularly happens at the

same time as the execution phase.

 This is to ensure that the

performance of the project is
meeting the criteria and every
item/task performs their intended
function.
 5. Closing Phase

 The final stage of project management life cycle.

 During this point, the project management team

must prepare and handover all the required project
documentation including contracts, final costs, and
any relevant paperwork. Also, all supplier and third-
party contracts must resolve and all final payments
are processed.
 In this phase, project manager and team
may evaluate the success of the project.
They may provide recommendation and
use these feedbacks to improve future
team projects.
