Lecturer: Salem EL Harakeh, P.Eng., M.Eng.

Term Project (40% of Total Mark)

 CEE 3348A Term Project FW2015 PDF uploaded on

OWL/WEBCT under “Assignments”.

 CEE 3348A Term Project - Groups With Constraints

(FW2015) excel sheet uploaded on OWL/WEBCT.

 Each group will have a group number and a specific project

constraint.

 USE the follow resources: Sample WBS Structure, Standard

Scheduling Calendar & Richard Ivey New Building Tour Book.

 ***6 Main Project Components (6 Main Submissions)

Term Project Cont.
 ***Project Constraints: Site conditions/access,
weather conditions, production rates (# of
crews), Deliverables/rate Constraints, etc.

 Project Phasing: Floor Plate phasing into

different areas. Sequence the work accordingly
(concrete to structural steel to final finishes).
Based your production rate following slide #7.

 Make sure to include a milestone section in your

schedule. Include the following Milestones:
Term Project Cont.
 Project Mobilization
 Concrete Substructure (Foundations) Complete
 Concrete Superstructure Complete
 Structural Steel Complete
 Envelope Enclosed Complete
 Interior Finishes Complete
 Commissioning (Testing M&E Systems) Complete
 Deficiencies Complete
 Substantial Completion
 Minor Deficiencies Complete
 Final Completion
Project Information

RICHARD IVEY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS is a 3 story Building

consisting of a Basement, First, Second & Third Floor with a
Mechanical Penthouse roof.

 Assume: Basement, First & Second Floor are concrete structures

including walls & columns. Assume 3rd Floors is structural steel
(beams, joists & columns then metal deck with concrete topping).

 Penthouse & roof is structural steel as well with metal decking

and roofing membrane.

 Use THE IVEY BUILDING TOUR BOOK for floor plans & general
information.

 Have a group site visit arranged.

Project Information Cont.
 Project Start: July 11th,2016 (Mobilization) unless indicated in
constraints.
 Project Completion: August 24th,2018 (All Groups).

 Project information might be vague at times representing

real construction situations.
 Request for Information “RFI” – Project consultation sessions.
 Make Assumptions unless indicated in group constraint.
 BUT be reasonable or the owner will not award you the
project (LONGER SCHEDULE MEANS MORE REASOURCES
MEANING BIGGER BUDGET).
 Think of a solution to your group schedule constraint. Make
sure to indicate your solution in your write-up
