CVE 4070 ENG-1000 Intro to Engineering CVE-1000 Intro to Civil Engineering Construction Overview Prof. Ralph V. Locurcio, PE
Class Objectives… • Understand project delivery process • Understand the phases of engineering • Describe the construction profession • Construction contracts & issues • Tools of the trade – skills you need • Typical jobs in construction • Leadership & management
Construction Intro… • The 4 phases of engineering • Planning & Programming • Design & Engineering • Construction (Manufacturing) • Maintenance
Programming Process Design Process Construction Process Project Delivery Process…
About Construction… • It’s an extremely complex process… • Many players, many variables, many unknowns • Design is never perfect • Unlike manufacturing process… • Teams are variable; not trained on this project • Production site is crude & unprepared • Very large projects – rarely build more than one • Very large risks – owner’s first and last experience • Large penalties for error or contract failure • Money drives all aspects of the process • One chance to get it right • CM goal is to deliver a perfect product
Construction History • The oldest profession? • The master builders… architects? • Growth of Project Management • Growth of Quality Management • Construction Management Emerges
Hammurabi’s Code – 1780 B.C. 228. If a builder build a house for some one and complete it, he shall give him a fee of two shekels in money for each sar of surface. 229. If a builder build a house for some one, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built fall in and kill its owner, then that builder shall be put to death. 230. If it kill the son of the owner the son of that builder shall be put to death. 231. If it kill a slave of the owner, then he shall pay slave for slave to the owner of the house. 232. If it ruin goods, he shall make compensation for all that has been ruined, and inasmuch as he did not construct properly this house which he built and it fell, he shall re-erect the house from his own means. 233. If a builder build a house for some one, even though he has not yet completed it; if then the walls seem toppling, the builder must make the walls solid from his own means.
Contracting – 487B.C. • Contract for Rent & Repair of a House, One Year Term, Thirty-fifth year of Darius, 487 B.C. This contract is most interesting. Such business methods are not, therefore, altogether modern. • In addition to the rent of the house of Shamash-iddin, son of Rimut, fifteen shekels of money in cash (shall go) to Iskhuya, son of Shaqa-Bel, son of the priest of Agish, for this year. • Because of the payment he shall repair the weakness (of the house), he shall close up the crack of the wall. He shall pay a part of the money at the beginning, a part of the money at the completion. He shall pay it on the day of Bel, the day of wailing and weeping. • In case the house is unfinished by Iskhuya after the first day of Tebet, Shamash-iddin shall receive four shekels of money in cash into his possession at the hands of Iskhuya. • The names of three witnesses and a scribe then follow… • Dated at Shibtu, the twenty-first of Kislimu, the thirty-fifth year of Darius.

Specialized skills • Variable locations 5. Fixed location • Leadership 6. Self-discipline • Total project 7. One component • Large budget 8. Small budget • Great risk 9. Small risk • End product 10.

Construction skills… • Skills you need in construction • Fundamentals: science, math, business • Contracting: risk, legal issues, changes • Project Controls: schedule, cost, estimates • Construction Operations: responsibility, authority, planning, documents, productivity, quality, documentation, safety, closeout • Leadership: teams, organization, motivation, success, ethics
What’s involved… Construction: read the plans hire the workers organize the site schedule the work form the columns install the rebars purchase the materials satisfy the owner Engineering: design the columns size the rebars draw the plans specify the materials write the contract select the site inspect the work advise the owner
Construction Process • Study the contract • Study the site, labor, materials • Plan the work • What teams are needed • How will they interact in time • Integrate materials & logistics • Diagram the flow of work • Check the timing from start to finish
Class example • Plan the construction of a dog house • What needs to be considered ???

Payment calculations…pipe Payment Method = Linear Feet of Pipe… plan, delivered, placed? Pipe cost = $150/lf = $47,250 or $60,000 or $48,750???
Change order cost estimate… • Study the plans • Organize your estimate • Determine critical dimensions • Determine critical materials & methods • Determine take off quantities • Calculate the cost of each quantity • Add overhead & profit • Negotiate with the contractor

Jobs in construction • Contractor – owns a company • Contract specialist – interprets contract • Estimator – prepares bid • Project Manager – runs complete job • Project Engineer – approves/orders matl. • Site Engineer – plans site layout • Superintendent – manages crews • Quality control – inspects work
