no cover page
hard cover
no binding
front and back
item 6 not covered
1- Description of project
-Objective from the owner ( primary function and goal profit…)
-Scope of the project (location-boundaries-size of facility-build up area)
-Description of structure (features - special features - slabs- special slabs- special behavior- any interesting feature)
Electromechanical systems used ( temperature control, safety, anything special)
-permit
2-) Project life cycle phases with dates( Draw construction duration period with dates and primary tasks) How much work was done with brief discription
-time frame (start of construction end of construction)
-Mention how likely to meet the period of construction proposed ( u can ask directly if they will meet; look at build projects and compare also; also look at the current progress)
Report dates of bidding and other phases , unknown phases can be set as estimates.
3- Project handover process ( what is going to happen in the last few months, describe what will happen and what is the process) (Not much analysis just report)
4-Draw porject organization delivery method, client contractor, subcontractor, DBB, DB.. Describe the organization , u may not have the same as in chapters; describe how they do the organization and draw it how it wil happen who hires who, what are traits of the function of each trait.
Also is it sequential describe in words
Also why they followed this approach advantages disadvantages.
COuld they have something else?
5-Look at the contract between the GC and owner, describe contract type; why this type
6-Not for this one
Contractors also have to fund projects
they have to have certain amount of money to start with so they can start working (Biggest gap between expenditure and receiving)
Contractors can fund either through
- equity (money in the pocket)
- debt
Contractors work with credit (debt )
so they can fund more projects
Not all contractors have equal access to credit
it depends on their capacity
As i owner i care for the contractor to be able to have enough money because i wont the work to flow, i can help through
1-Facilitate their loans with banks if you can
2-Increase advanced payment
If i dont do so no contractor will bid on the project or they will bid very high risk
true
How we cover for uncertatinty
we make risk analysis for the prices and you choose a price that can protect you at least not to be broken and to make enough money to continue with job
If i am dying to get the job i can cut my profit
it depends on the market and size of the bet ( too high u will get more conservative)
large projects large uncertainties
How do organize the project- project organiztion
Old methods, u call one person and u tell him build me a house ( he will tell u where , and how large …) and then design it and build it
In the last decade we start to have specializations because structure started to get more complex
so we have certain people to design certain people to construct specialty designers electrical.mechanical...audio visual we are getting more splits of the work
Project organization
way to establish relationship between these different entities
firrt method
owner provided delivery meaning owner design, build and operate that facility ( they will have certain experience like real estate developers)
It is mainly done for projects that are within the capacity of the owner
less costly
like AUB did the small the renovation in the bechtel building
for small projects mainly
For medium to large wr have other methods
DBB DB CM …
the traditional method ( Design Bid build ) 90% of the project follow DBB
true
As owner i hire a consultant for a design, after design is done i go for bidding and then hire a contractor
