THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT LIFE

CYCLE IS. . .
the proper order of completing tasks in
a construction project. It acts as a
guide for the entire process of
completing a project, beginning with
the initial conception to the final
details. It helps ensure construction
projects remain well-organized and
completed in a timely, efficient
manner.


Project Life
Cycle
Characteristics:

Costs and staffing levels are lower in the beginning, increase

near the end, and then fall dramatically after the project
concludes.
In the beginning of a project, the probability of successfully
completing the project is low, therefore the risk and
uncertainty are high.
The ability of stakeholders to affect the final attributes of
the project's product and the project's ultimate
cost is highest at the start and lowest at the end
as the project progresses
 PHASE1: PRE PROJECT PHASE

01 It encompasses all of the steps you must take before

a project is approved and any planning begins.

Project 02
PHASE 2: PLANNING AND DESIGN PHASE

Life Cycle
This phase involves further development of the
project in detail to meet the project’s objective.

PHASE 3: CONTRACTOR SELECTION

03
PHASE
This phase indicates how the contractor will be
selected.
 PHASE 4: PROJECT MOBILIZATION PHASE
04 This phase is a short interval between the completion of
construction documents and the start of construction.

PHASE 5: CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Project
05 This is the implementation phase, where the project
plan is put into motion and the work of the project is
performed practically on site. Life Cycle
PHASE 6: PROJECT CLOSEOUT AND
TERMINATION PHASE
06 The project closure phase of the project is the last step
in the long process of designing and completing a
construction project.
Phase1: Pre- project/
Initiation Phase
Here the project objective or need is identified; this can be a business problem or
opportunity. A suitable response to the need is documented in a business case with
recommended solution options. A feasibility study is conducted to examine whether each
option clearly identifies the project objective and a final recommended solution is
determined.

When a solution is approved, a project is initiated to implement the approved solution. At

this stage, the major deliverables and the participating work groups are identified.

Decisions made at this stage include how large the building will be, how much space will
be used, and how many rooms will be needed. Once these decisions are made, a project
initiation document (PID) is created.
Phase 2: Planning and
Design Phase
This phase involves further development of the project in detail to meet the project’s
objective.

The project’s tasks and resource requirements are identified, along with the strategy for
producing them.

A project plan outlining the activities, tasks, dependencies, and timeframes is created. The
project manager is the one who coordinates the preparation of a project budget by
providing cost estimates for the labor, equipment, and materials costs.

SCOPE MANAGEMENT QUALITY PLAN
Scope management is the process whereby the A document that provides quality targets,
outputs, outcomes and benefits are identified, assurance, and control measures, along with an
defined and controlled. acceptance plan, listing the criteria to be met to
gain customer acceptance
SCOPE MANAGEMENT

Project scope management is a process that helps in determining and

documenting the list of all the project goals, tasks, deliverables,
deadlines, and budgets as a part of the planning process. In project
management, it is common for a big project to have modifications along
the way.
A well-defined project scope management helps avoid common issues
like:
Constantly changing requirements
Pivoting the project direction when you are already mid-way
Realizing that the final outcome isn’t what was expected
Going over the discussed budget
Falling behind the project deadlines
QUALITY PLAN

Quality planning is the method of deciding what’s most important to the

project. This occurs during the planning stage, where you determine the
critical factors for a successful project. This includes the resources
needed to deliver the project, what steps to take and specifications that
have to be met.
The quality plan itself includes:
Objectives
Processes
Roles and responsibilities
Applied standards
Metrics to measure quality
Phase 2: Planning and
Design Phase

SCHEMATIC DESIGN CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
At this step, the team produces a sketch A document that provides quality targets,
showing the space as well as materials, assurance, and control measures, along
colors, and textures. This information will with an acceptance plan, listing the criteria
be used during the design development to to be met to gain customer acceptance
research the equipment needed and
materials to be used.
Phase 3: Contractor Selection Phase
OWNER CONTRACTOR
The owner must decide whether an open Tender/Priced Proposal
invitation will be issued to all possible Planning of steps that will be carried
vendors or whether only certain out
contractors will be invited to submit Submittal
offers and whether any sort of pre-
qualification process will be invoked to
limit the number of tenders.
Phase 3: Contractor Selection Phase
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN SELECTING CONTRACTORS
Level of industry/business-relevant experience
Familiarity with the hazards of your industry
Previous health and safety performance records
Safety policies, risk assessments and training records
Insurance cover – Professional Indemnity, Public Liability, Workers Compensation
Communication methods before and during the work
Subcontractors and their competence
Any enforcement actions that have been taken
Supervision requirements
Notifications process for problems and incidents
Phase 3: Contractor Selection Phase
METHODS FOR SELECTING CONTRACTORS
Least cost
Qualification only
Quality and cost-based
Quality
Sole source
Fixed budget
 Phase 4: Project Mobilization Phase
A detailed program for the construction The goals of mobilization are to ensure that:
activities must be prepared. The cost estimate capital assets are operational and accessible;
must be converted to a project budget and the facilities are operational and accessible;
system for tracking actual project costs must be delivery team members are competent and
established. The work site must be organized, capable;
with provisions for temporary buildings and all resources are redeployed, returned or
services, access and delivery, storage areas, and disposed of, at the end of the work.
site security. The process of obtaining materials
and equipment to be incorporated into the
project must be initiated and arrangements for
labor, the other essential resource, must be
organized.
 Phase 5: Construction Phase
This is where the project plan is put into A successful implementation stage is
motion and the work of the project is characterized by:
performed practically on-site. It is essential A well-developed team
to maintain control and communicate as Allocation of resources
needed during each implementation stage. Task assignments
Progress should be continuously monitored Implementation of project management
and appropriate adjustments are made and plans
recorded as variances from the original plan. Status meetings
Updated project schedule
Tracking systems in place
Modification of project plans
Phase 6: Project Closeout
and Termination Phase
During the final closure, the importance is on providing the final deliverables to the customer, that is:
Handing over project documentation to the business
Termination of supplier contracts
Releasing project resources
Communicate the closure of the project to all stakeholders.
Last and final is to conduct lessons-learned studies to examine what went well and what didn’t.
