Setting A Budget
simply the initial number that a client must spend on the project
Cost Estimating - early cost estimates will be important to create an accurate
budget for the project.
Value Optimization - during this stage of pre-construction, the contractor will
look to not only cut costs, but also improve the overall value of the project.
Setting A Schedule
schedule of a construction project will be another vital component of the
pre-construction planning stages
THE PLANNING STAGES OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION
THE INITIAL SCHEMATIC DESIGN
sometimes created during the initial evaluation, the schematic design will
serve as the first visual to the client and will be what the rest of the project is
drawn from.
PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT
an often-overlooked part of pre-construction is long lead times. This refers to
when a material may take a long time to acquire .
BENEFITS OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Removal of many unknown variables for the client
They provide a clear picture of what the project will look like and how it will
get done.
The completion date for the work can be assessed.
PROJECT SCOPE
what are you trying to accomplish with your building?
what are the size requirements, and will they change in the future?
when does the project need to be completed?
PRE-CONSTRUCTION PLANNING
PROJECT BUDGET
one of the most essential components of pre-construction planning because it
can be hard to guess the total price of a construction project without input
from general contractors and design teams.
PROJECT DETAILS
The finer details are what bring a building to life.
Details of construction design include:
Exact size
Layout Style
Electrical systems
Building materials
PROJECT TEAM
The construction company’s role in pre-construction becomes even more visible
as the project moves toward the latter stages of design.
THE PLANNING STAGES OF PRE-CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT MATERIALS
the contractor needs to identify all the necessary materials and equipment for
the job, with special attention to items requiring early ordering, and how they
will be obtained.
This includes:
Evaluating the construction site
Obtaining necessary permits
Following through with required inspections
Securing lot approval
PROJECT COMMUNICATION
pre-construction phase lays the foundation for a successful construction
project and relies heavily on effective communication.
WHAT IS PROJECT ORGANIZATION ?
refers to the style of coordination, communication, and management
the project team uses throughout a project lifecycle.
by applying project organization, you optimize resources, provide
clear communication about roles and responsibilities, and reduce
potential roadblocks.
PROJECT ORGANIZATION
WHAT IS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
establishes the ranking and authority of individuals participating in a
particular project.
it outlines each team member's role and provides a visual chart of reporting
lines for easy reference during the project.
Identify Personnel
Create Senior Management Team
Assign Project Coordinators
Note Stakeholders
Identify Training Requirements
Create Project Organization Chart
Communicate
WHAT IS A DESIGN STRUCTURE MATRIX?
graphical representation and analytical tool used in project
management, including pre-construction planning
it helps visualize and analyze the relationships between different
elements or components within a complex system.
DSM can be applied to various aspects such as project tasks,
components, or teams involved in the design and planning phases.
USES OF A DESIGN STRUCTURE MATRIX IN CONSTRUCTION:
TASK DEPENDENCY ANALYSIS:
Identify and visualize dependencies between different tasks and activities in
the construction process.
PROJECT PLANNING AND SCHEDULING
can be used for project planning by representing the sequencing and
relationships between different construction activities
RESOURCE ALLOCATION:
assess the interdependencies between various resources, including labor,
equipment, and materials.
MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT LOGISTICS
analyze the dependencies between the delivery and installation of materials
and equipment.

SYNTHESIS
Pre-construction is considered a promising approach to
construction. By having the scope, and expectations well aligned,
clients can save on various margins and own property they are
pleased with in the long run.
