Construction Management Consultants Service are usually used on large-scale projects, where the Construction Management Consultant has a role to provide funds for planning and project implementation, providing land or land as a project development site, giving authority to certain parties to manage the project according to the agreed agreement and participate in supervising project implementation. The involvement of the Construction Management Consultant is expected to provide reliable information to the project owner.
Construction Project Management Stages
There are 6 (six) stages in a construction project, namely:
Concept
This is where the dream begins as well as research for the exact location and specifications / standards to be followed. The consultant will translate the needs and wants of the client. Usually this stage takes months.
Design
There are usually four distinct steps in the design stage including programming and feasibility, schematic design, design development, and contract documents.
During the programming and feasibility steps, each of the project goals and objectives should be outlined. Many decisions are made at this stage, including how large the building will be, how much space will be used, and how much space will be required.
A schematic design is a sketch that will show space as well as materials, colors, and even textures. The sketches will be used during design development to research the equipment needed, along with the costs for them and the materials used.
After the contract documents are created, everything is almost done, as they contain the final drawings and specifications. These documents are used in the construction field by those who bid to work on projects.
Pre-Construction
The next phase of the construction project starts when the bidding is completed and a contractor has been selected to do the work. As soon as a contractor is selected, the project team is put together. Typically, the project team has the task of preparing a construction site before work begins. As a rule, it consists of the following specializations:
- Project administrator
- Project manager
- Project supervisor
- Experts (civil, electrical, and mechanical)
- HSE Manager
Procurement
Now is the time for the project team to order and procure materials, equipment and labor. This stage of the project can be more or less complex and challenging depending on the size of the project, available resources and the agreed start date.
Many large construction companies have their own procurement departments. In such cases, it is common that the construction company will simultaneously order workers, equipment and materials for a number of projects. This process may vary greatly in a smaller project.
Construction
Before construction work begins, a pre-construction meeting is held to ensure that everyone is on the same page when construction begins. These meetings usually include information on the following topics:
- how to access job sites
- project quality control
- how and where to store all the ingredients
- hours everyone will work
Each worker can be assigned their own schedule. It is also important to note that each project agent’s schedule may vary depending on their role. This is especially true for subcontractors who need certain parts of work completed before they can start their share. It easily becomes clear that poor planning at this point can lead to serious delays and budget overruns.
At the construction implementation stage, the Construction Management Consultant has the following powers:
- Request reports & explanations about the implementation of work to the project implementer, both verbally and in writing.
- Terminate or reject the work results if the implementation deviates from the predetermined agreement.
- Validate any changes in both design and work.
- Providing decisions on changes to the implementation time by considering all the risks that will be faced.
- Directing, managing, and coordinating the implementation of contractors in the aspects of quality, cost, time & safety in work.
- Check the implementation detail drawings.
- Making progress reports on work in the field.
Post-Construction
Last, but certainly not least, the post-construction stage. Now that all the work on the job site has been completed, the project is coming to an end.
