BSCE-II CIVIL ENGINEERING ORIENTATION

I. Definition
 Building construction is the process of adding structure to real property. The vast
majority of building construction projects are small renovations, such as addition of a
room, or renovation of a bathroom.
 Infrastructure Project is the basic structures, systems, and services required for
operation. Think of infrastructure as the fundamentals that everything else is built
upon.
 Residential construction is the business of building and selling individual and multi-
family dewellings.
 Design Team is the group responsible for the design and implementation of the
systems that affect the building's overall energy consumption. The Design Team
generally includes the building owner, project architect, mechanical engineer,
electrical engineer, lighting designer, energy consultant, and contractor.
 Procurement System Procurement systems often refer to software used to manage
organizational spending
 Public-Private Partnership/Partnering (PPP) can be broadly defined as a contractual
agreement between the Government and a private firm targeted towards financing,
designing, implementing and operating infrastructure facilities and services that were
traditionally provided by the public sector
 Skilled Occupation A skilled worker is any worker who has special skill, training,
knowledge, and (usually acquired) ability in their work.
 Technical and Specialized Occupations Specialized careers are those which focus
and place emphasis upon a particular area within a broader
discipline.A technical skill is the ability to carry out a task associated
with technical roles such as IT, engineering, mechanics, science or finance.
 Safety is the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or
injury.
 Building Services Engineer is a professional engineering discipline that strives to
achieve a safe and comfortable indoor environment whilst minimizing the
environmental impact of a building.
 Project Manager. Project managers have the responsibility of the planning,
procurement and execution of a project, in any undertaking that has a defined scope,
defined start and a defined finish; regardless of industry
 Structural Engineer are trained to design the 'bones and muscles' that create the
form and shape of man made structure.Structural engineers need to understand and
calculate the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures for buildings and
nonbuilding structures.
  Quantity Surveyor is a construction industry professional with expert knowledge on
construction costs and contracts
 Civil Estimators are responsible for obtaining tenders, obtaining of material costs,
calculation of tenders taking into consideration project management and overheads
 Repair the action of fixing or mending something.
 Innovation is "a new idea, creative thoughts, new imaginations in form of device or
method".
 Demolition or razing, is the science and engineering in safely and efficiently tearing
down of buildings and other man-made structures
 Construction Surveying or building surveying is to stake out reference points and
markers that will guide the construction of new structures such as roads or buildings

3. Phases of Construction Projects

1. The conception of the project

Normally, the conception of the project starts with the client. This is where the dream begins as
well as the research for the right location and the specifications/standards that should be
followed.Depending on the project, the conception stage might vary. It can take anywhere from a
few days to a few months or more, depending on how imminent is the need for the completion of
the project.

2. Design

Once the project is closer to fruition, it is time to sit down and talk design. This is still a
preliminary stage, which means that nothing is guaranteed at this point. Nevertheless, design is
the stage where usually the bidding process begins.The team that is in charge of the design, led
by an architect or an engineer, will need to make sure that each of the state regulations and codes
is met while respecting the vision of the project owner as well as ensuring that the newly built
structure will be usable.

3. The pre-construction stage

The next stage of a construction project begins when the bidding is completed and the contractor
has been chosen to do the work. As soon as the contractor is completed, the project team is put
together.Typically, a project team has the task to prepare the construction site before the work
begins. As a rule, it consists of the following specialties:

 Contract administrator

 Project manager

 Superintendent

 Field engineer

 Health and safety manager

4. The procurement stage

Now it’s time for the project team to order and obtain materials, equipment, and workforce. This
stage of the project can be more or less complex and challenging depending on how big the
project is, the available resources and the agreed start date.

5. The construction stage

Before the construction work begins, a pre-construction meeting is done to ensure that everyone
is on the same page when the construction starts. This meeting normally includes information
about the following topics:
  how to access the job site

 the quality control of the project

 how and where to store all the materials

 the hours that everyone will be working

6. The post-construction stage

Last but certainly not least, the post-construction stage. Now that all the work on the job site has
been completed, the project will soon come to a close.Nonetheless, there are still a few steps that
need to be done before the keys to the building can be handed over.In general, the final stage of
the construction project is divided into three critical steps:

a. New construction building commissioning

First things first, an inspection of the whole building needs to be done. If everything is done
correctly, these inspections are fairly simple to pass. The reason is that other inspections should
have already been completed during the entire project

b. Owner occupancy

Now that the training is completed, the owner can take over the building. This is when the
warranty period is on. In that way, the project owner can feel safe that there is enough time to
examine all the different systems, equipment, and materials that have been installed.

There are three main types of warranty in construction:

 Express warranty: It is normally included in the contract.

 Implied warranty: It is imposed by law.

 Statutory warranty: It is introduced in a state’s regulations.

c. Closure

That is the last step in the long process of designing and completing a construction project. The
project team has to overall contractual agreements and make sure that the project is free from any
type of legal burden.At this point, it is also a good practice to carry out a post-project review
which could help the different agents to detect any tasks that weren’t completed, analyse why
this happened and put together a list of insights for the future.
