Many “Project Managers” • Owner’s Representative or PM (PD) • Each Consultant’s PM • Contractor’s PM • Sub-Contractor’s PM • Purchasing Agent’s PM • Operator’s PM • Authorities PM
The 5 “M’s” • Methods • Materials • Machinery • Manpower • Money
Esential Elements • Organisation • Motivation • Coordination • Forecast & Planning • Control
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs • Deficit principle • A satisfied need is not a motivator of behaviour. • Progression principle • A need at one level does not become activated until the next lower-level need is satisfied.
Contemporary Management Techniques • Analyze and improve each part of the process • Each function in the team can be improved
Management Science • How to decide which is the best method or most direct solution to a problem
Behavioural Science • Motivation (Maslow) • Getting things done through others • Teamwork
Project Planning • To identify objectives • To understand and define T/C/Q requirements • To reduce uncertainty • Establish Standards • Identify individual activities & responsibilities • Lines of communication
Planning • Priorities and Sequencing • People (PM, SO, etc) / Resourcing • Initial Critical Path Network program • Phasing/TOP/Handing-Over • Methods • Set up regular Site Meeting / Design Team Meeting • Approval Systems (AI, AD, Site Memo etc) • Documents Issuance system
What is controlled? SCOPE • Ensure changes after investigation & Awareness of their impact • Scope change = modification to scope as defined in approved WBS • RISK • Risks are dynamic so risk management strategies are continually monitored • Also respond to any unplanned risks that occur TEAM • Controlling team = making sure that team motivation, enthusiasm, and direction are kept throughout the project
Site-Management Obligations • Hoarding & Sign Board • Wash bays and water run-off pits (ECM) • Site office & pest control • Temporary water/power • Access and Waste removal • Main-Con / Sub-con responsibilities • Identify Mock-ups / Approvals / Specifics • Permit to Commence Work • Survey of boundary / Setting-out-points • Machinery Locations and type • Labour type and source (MYE)
Site Control • Hierarchical Flow Chart • Daily meetings (Tool-box, H&S, Supervisors etc) • Weekly Meetings • Site Inspections (Client Rep, Design Team, = CVIs) • Monthly Progress Reports • Monthly Claims • RTO ad-hoc inspections
Documentation Control • Design Drawings, Working Drawings • Shop Drawings and As-Built drawings • Specifications and Schedules • QA/QC, H&S Manuals • H&S and Daily Records • Method Statements • Field progress and inspection logs • Software systems • Instructions and CVI’s
Specification Clauses • 1. GENERAL • 1.1 Contract Documents • 1.1.1 All work of this Section shall comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents for the Main Building Works, with the Drawings, Schedules and with all other Contract Documents. • 1.1.2. Drawings supplied with the Tender/Contract Documents for aluminium and window works serve to give only the overall profile of requirement and general dimensions.

Progress reporting The objectives of this section are • To understand why we need to report progress and the methods available • Who ,under construction contracts need to be appraised of progress • When we need to report progress and how.
Progress reporting The contract master programme is a contract document with most forms of contract • JCT 2011- two copies as soon as possible after the contract is signed • two copies after an award of an extension of time. • In reality the contract preambles will ask for the programme before signature of the contract
Progress reporting • NEC 3 – Core clause 3 • requires much more information than other contracts • A programme showing key dates • Method statements • Revised programmes as and when delays occur and proposals to bring back on schedule • How compensation events will alter the progress of the works and affect the end date
Progress reporting ICE 7 – clause 14 • Production of a programme within 21 days of contract award • Method statement describing how the works will be carried out • Revised programme when actual progress deviates from planned • If the engineer so requires further details of methodology and supporting calculations on any aspect of the work.
Progress reporting Students Do you think it is a good thing to reprogramme for the client when a delay has occurred or is likely to occur?
