1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the procedure is to identify the various activities involved in managing the
construction phase of the program.
2. SCOPE
The procedure covers basic activities to start the construction phase and manage the work through
investigating on the existing work, mobilizing resources and determining processes to request
information and to deliver work, until the close-out step.
The construction manager should review, comment, and approve when appropriate, the plan for
use. The contractor should perform the work as planned and the construction manager should:
Monitor, inspect and review all in-process documents and plan implementation to
investigate
Review the investigation results including any discrepancies which may require modification
or re-design of the scope of work. The contractor should issue a statement summarizing the
found condition of prior or existing work and a clear statement whether or not work can
start as planned
Depending on the recommendation of the contractor, the construction manager should
determine the impact of any discrepancies found and should either request further
investigation or indicate the required actions or changes in any elements to facilitate the
commencement of the contractor’s work
Based on the investigation and report, the contractor should prepare a mobilization plan including
providing protection of existing facilities for instance. He should reflect the impact of any
discrepancies into the plan and into the construction schedule to perform the work.
The construction manager should confirm and request for approval to the project’s owner the plan,
the construction schedule and also any necessary changes to the work. Once the approval requested
is received, the contractor may start the work.
Once the review of the proposal is done, the form should be signed by the contractor and his
management.
Distribution:
The request should be uploaded into the database, transmitted to the construction manager who
may distribute it to the relevant project team. At least, the same distribution will apply for any
revision of the request. The distribution of the request should follow the record process. Refer to
Document Management procedure X-XX-XX-023.
When receiving the request form approved, the construction manager should:
Monitor if the request is fully filled by the contractor and use the recommended form. Any
document for clarification should be attached and referenced in the form. The form should
also be signed and dated by the contractor
Review and assess the request
Identify if a modification has to be initiated. In such a case, refer to the contract execution
procedure for change management X-XX-XX-025
Transmit the request response to the contractor:
o If more clarifications are required, a revision should be issued following the above
process
o If new additional or complementary information is needed, a new version of the
request should be issued where explicit reference to the new or
complementary requirements will be made
o When the response is considered adequate and complete, the contractor should
inform the Document Management department on the closure of the request and
the status of “closed” will be identified in the database. The final response should
be considered as a validated input data.
After completion of the work, the construction manager should ensure the contractor incorporate
the changes on a reproducible set of drawings that have been clearly marked as-built. The
construction manager should also ensure that the as-built documents are incorporated into the final
project record documentation for hand over to the project’s owner upon contract completion.
Requests are considered as records and should be identified according to the Document
Management procedure, filed, and conserved.
The construction manager assisted by the project team should track the request status and issue
periodically status reports monthly that will be sent to the project’s owner.
All approved changes to the original drawings or specifications should be noted in red ink, with a
reference to the approved document that precipitated the change, for instance request for
information number, field instruction number, variance number etc.
The process of creating redline drawings may include the following:
Marking installed, removed items, or deleted items
Incorporating approved variances, change orders, submittals, substitutions
Incorporating newly located items not depicted on project drawings
When a change is recorded on a drawing and this change affects information depicted on other
drawings, the contractor should note the change on all affected drawings and redline them
accordingly. These redline drawings and specifications should be used by the contractor to develop
the as-built documents for final completion.
The field construction drawings should be maintained according to the same process. These
documents should be monitored by the project team on a regular basis to verify that all drawings are
being properly maintained by the contractor.
The construction manager should initiate as soon as practical during the construction phase and until
the substantial completion an initial punch list. Indeed, corrective actions may be required while
construction work is still performed by the contractors.
Assisted by the relevant project team, the construction manager should develop the initial punch list
as a basis to begin the formal punch list that is dedicated to the commissioning activities.
Significant items contained therein should be discussed with the contractor to ensure these are
covered and the construction manager should keep the responsibility for integrating the relevant
items into the initial punch list. He should also be responsible to close the list when all the items
have been completed.
Upon notification by the contractor that the phase is ready for a final inspection and before
completing the formal punch list, an intermediate inspection should be scheduled by the
construction manager.
There may be different categories of punch list items:
Either the punch list item is minor that does not have direct impact to the commissioning
activities
Or the punch list item is major and does impact the commissioning activities. In such case,
the contractor should complete this punch list before the starting of the commissioning
phase.
The punch list should have a location for each item to be signed off as completed, a place for
the completion date to be inserted, a comments section for each item listed, and also a
section for the contractor to mark to show if the item is within contract scope of work or out
of contract scope of work
The commissioning manager should review the punch list weekly and note any items that have been
completed, and when relevant sign the list. He should provide a weekly status report and an
updated punch list to the contractor.
If punch list inspections determine that the contractor is not substantially complete due to major
systems or portions of the work being incomplete, a checklist noting the major areas of incomplete
work should be prepared. If deemed necessary, the punch list items may be elevated to the status of
deficiency notice, non-conformance report, or corrective action request depending on the urgency
of the punch list item. This procedure should continue until the contractor reaches a stage of
substantial completion, at which time the detailed work remaining list should be prepared.
Upon receipt of the contractor’s second notice of substantial completion, the punch list should be
updated and forms the basis for determining if the contractor is finally complete. Again, if the
contractor has not completed all punch list items, a letter should be sent notifying the contractor
that the work is not finally complete and outlining punch list items that remain open.
When the majority all of the originally noted deficient, omitted or non-complying work is remedied,
and following completion of systems and equipment start-up, the commissioning manager should
conduct a final inspection to confirm substantial completion of the project. Any items remaining to
be done, or omitted as agreed upon, should be noted on an attachment to the statement of work
accepted and should become known as the remaining work list items. The statement of work
accepted establishes the project completion date and the commencement date for equipment
warranties and product guarantees.
The project team should forward his comments to the construction manager within a determined
period of time as per contract:
In the event a submittal is returned to the contractor, the construction manager may copy
the project’s owner on the transmittal to the contractor
Once the construction manager concurs that the submittal is in full compliance of the
contract requirements, he may forward the submittal to the project’s owner for review and
approval if necessary
In that case, the project’s owner should advise the construction manager of his comments within a
determined period of time as per contract. The construction manager should review the project’s
owner's comments and forward to the contractor for action. The submittal may be marked as:
Submit: work may proceed subject to incorporation of changes as noted
Revise and resubmit work may not proceed, on the technical submittal cover sheet and
noting the action in the submittals log.
Anticipation and preparation work may be sent during the lifecycle of the activity to facilitate the
approval process.
The project team should file the submittal on site in accordance with the document management
procedure agreed as per contract.
Once the document has been prepared as per specifications, it should follow the program document
management process described in procedure “X-XXX-XX-023 - Document Management”.
