UNIT IV CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGHRISE BUILDINGS

Planning and scheduling for high rise building:
– Typical Floor
Construction Cycle – Appropriate working schedule.
WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT (CPM)?
According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), project management is “the
art of directing and coordinating human and material resources throughout the life of a
project by using modern management techniques to achieve predetermined objectives of
scope, cost, time, quality, and participating objectives.”
THE ROLE OF A PROJECT MANAGER IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Construction project managers shoulder the responsibility of keep the project
pace according to plan.
The goal is to complete the project on schedule and within budget, without
any compromise of the quality as per the specifications accepted.
A construction project manager will be setting the parameters, finances, and
calendar; vetting and approving of hiring subcontractors, developing a strategy for
completion the project as per schedule.

Project manager as to be aware seven categories:

1. planning
2. Scope
3. Cost management
4. Time management
5. Quality management
6. Communication
7. Safety management
8. Stake holders' interest

After the bidding process is finished, the construction phase can then start.
The phases of project management, as developed by the Project Management Institute.

Initiation

Planning

Execution

Monitoring & Controlling

Closing and recording

1. Initiation:
Before the project starts, the Stakeholders will be asking the project manager to
evaluate the business case to determine if the project is feasible and worth
undertaking. Should do due diligence and to conduct feasibility, if needed. When the
stake holders give approval to proceed with the project, the project manager
prepares project initiation document (PID), which includes all the information and
assumptions taken for the report.
2. Planning:

The project team develops a road map for all involved. This includes the project
management plan (PMP), a formal, approved document created by the project manager
to guide execution and control, as well as set baselines for scope, cost, and schedule. This
will be shared among the consultants of the project

Scope statement and scope documentation: This defines the project’s detail of
requirement and defines the end utility of the project and broad outline of the
requirement.
Communication plan: This outlines all aspects of communication, from goals and
objectives to roles to methods. The communication plan creates a common framework
that everyone will be in the loop to avoid rework and earlier clearance to avoid delay.
Risk management plan: The project managers has to identify  risks involved and
plan to mitigate the risks and monitoring still completion of project.
3. Execution:
When work begins, the project manager should conduct weekly meeting with
all the consultants needed for that stage and assigning resources, implementing
project management plans, setting up tracking systems, completing tasks, updating
the project schedule.

4. Performance and Monitoring:

The monitoring should be to keep with phase of the project and necessary to
measure progress and performance and to ensure that items are in line with the
overall project management plan.

5. Closure:
This final phase marks the project’s completion. To mark the conclusion, project
managers may hold a post-mortem meeting to discuss what parts of the project did
and didn’t meet objectives. The project team then creates a punch list of any lingering
tasks, performs a final budget, and issues a project report.
