ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT
1. Preconstruction phase
The preconstruction phase of a project can be broken into conceptual planning,
schematic design, design development, and contract documents.
a. Conceptual design:
- Very important for the owner.
- During this stage the owner hires key consultants including the designer and project manage
selects the project site, and establish a conceptual estimate, schedule, and program.
- The owner must gather as much information as possible about the project.
- The most important decision at this stage is whether to proceed with the project or not.
b. Schematic design:
- During this phase, the project team investigates alternate design solutions, materials
and systems.
- Completion of this stage represents about 30% of the design completion for the project.

c. Design development:Designing the main systems and components of the project.

- Good communication between owner, designer, and construction manager is critical
during this stage because selections during this design stage affect project appearance,
construction and cost.
d. Contract documents:

- Final preparation of the documents necessary for the bid package such as the drawings
specifications, general conditions, and bill of quantities are ready.

- All documents need to be closely reviewed by the construction manager and appropriat
owner personnel to decrease conflicts, and changes.

- With the contract documents are almost complete; a detailed and complete cost
estimate for the project can be done.

BREAKDOWN OF CONSTRUCTION COST
Foundation: The foundation is the most important part of the building, as it supports the entire
structure. The cost of the foundation will depend on the size and type of building, as well as the soil
conditions.
Framing: The framing is the skeleton of the building, and it is made up of wood or steel beams and
joists. The cost of the framing will depend on the size and complexity of the building.
Roofing: The roof protects the building from the elements, and it is made up of shingles, metal
panels, or other materials. The cost of the roofing will depend on the size and type of roof, as well as
the materials used.
Exterior Finishing: The exterior finishing is the part of the building that people see from the outside,
and it is made up of siding, brick, stucco, or other materials. The cost of the exterior finishing will
depend on the size and type of building, as well as the materials used.
Interior Finishing: The interior finishing is the part of the building that people see from the inside,
and it is made up of drywall, paint, trim, and other materials. The cost of the interior finishing will
depend on the size and type of building, as well as the materials used.
HVAC: The HVAC system is responsible for heating, cooling, and ventilating the building. The cost
of the HVAC system will depend on the size and type of building, as well as the climate.
Plumbing: The plumbing system is responsible for supplying water to the building and for removing
wastewater. The cost of the plumbing system will depend on the size and type of building, as well as
the number of fixtures.
Electrical: The electrical system is responsible for powering the building's lights, outlets, and
appliances. The cost of the electrical system will depend on the size and type of building, as well as
the number of fixtures.
2.Procurement phase (Bidding and award phase)

- The project formally transits from design into construction.

- This stage begins with a public advertisement for all interested bidders or an invitation
for specific bidders.

- In fast-track projects, this phase overlaps with the design phase.

- If the projects are in phases, each work package will be advertised and bid out
individually.

- It is a very important stage to select highly qualified contractors. It is not wise to select
under-bid contractors.
3. Construction phase

- The actual physical construction of the project stage.

- This stage takes the project from procurement through the final completion.

- It is the time where the bulk of the owner’s funds will be spent.

- It is the outcome of all previous stages (i.e., good preparation means smooth
construction).
4. Closeout phase

- Transition from design and construction to the actual use of the constructed facility.

- In this stage, the management team must provide documentation, shop drawings,
as-built drawings, and operation manuals to the owner organization.

- The as-built drawings are the original contract drawings adjusted to reflect all the
changes that occurred.
 Project
Overview
• A shopping complex
• A 3-storey building
• 54 rooms
• Ground and first floor consist
of 14 rooms each, Second and
third floor consist of 13 rooms
each. Two toilet to a floor.
• At GRA, Benin City, Edo
State.
SITE SAFETY AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

In a building construction site there are many activities on

going with a lot of tools and equipment which could pose as a
safety hazard for construction workers and site visitors.
Personal Protective Equipment must be worn by those
entering the site at all times in order to ensure their safety on
site. Some of them are: Hard Hat – This is used to prevent the
head from injury due to falling materials. safety helmets come
in various colours that signify different roles to the wearers on
construction sites. Which are: White – For Engineers,
Managers, Supervisors and Foremen.
• Blue – For Electricians, Carpenters and other Technical
operators.
• Red – For Fire Fighters.
• Green – For Safety Officers.
• Grey – For Site Visitors.
• Yellow – For Labourers and Earth Moving Operators.
• Brown – For Welders and Workers with High Heat
Application.
DETAILS OF THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE

- Site preperation
- Site clearance and setting out
- Excavation
- Foundation blinding
- Bar bending work for column base, starter column and ground beam
- Back filling and compaction
- Laying of DPM , Wire mesh and Hardcore
- Formwork for slab
- Casting of slab
- Formwork for columns
- Casting of columns
CAUSES OF PROBLEM
1. Economic Factors: Economic downturns, fluctuations in material costs, or changes in
interest rates affected the financial viability of the construction project and impacted on
the company's ability to achieve desired results.

2. Communication Breakdowns: Poor communication between project stakeholders,

including architects, contractors, and clients, which lead to misunderstandings, errors,
and project delays.
HOW CAN THESE ISSUES BE RESOLVED

1. Hold Regular Site Meetings:

Conduct regular meetings involving all key stakeholders to discuss progress, challenges,
and upcoming changes. Encourage open dialogue and provide a forum for team
members to express concerns or suggest improvements.

2. Document Changes:
Clearly document any changes in project specifications, designs, or timelines.
Ensure that all relevant parties have access to updated project documentation.

3. Implement Quality Control Processes:

Introduce quality control processes to review communications and documentation for
accuracy and completeness. Establish checkpoints to confirm that messages are
received and understood by the intended recipients.
WORK BREAKDOWN SCHEDULE

a WBS is the first step in developing a project schedule.

It defines all the work that needs to be completed
(and in what order) to achieve the project goals and
objectives. By visualizing your project in this manner,
you can understand your project scope, and allocate
resources for all your project tasks.
PLANNING TOOL
Planning Tools are instruments that help guide
organizational action steps related to implementation
of an initiative, program, or intervention. They may
provide detailed descriptions about the
implementation plan and how it was developed.
GanttPRO is an online project management software that
facilitates project scheduling and implementation
with the help of Gantt charts.
