The stage by stage progression following the life cycle of a facility in divided into the stages shown: 1. Project Conception 2. Project Delivery 3. Design 4. Construction Documents 5. Bidding/Negotiating/Procurement 6. Construction 7. Startup & Commissioning (Added by Professor Cherf) 8. Facility Management As shown in the Project Resources Manual of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)
4. Construction Documents This is based on the owner-approved design development documents and any final adjustments to the project or project budget. This will be the documents used to build the project. These will include: Construction Agreements (contracts) Project Manual Project Specifications Drawings
Construction Management What needs to be controlled: The Contract Documents Plans/Specifications Start-Up/Buyout The Procurement Process Personnel/Safety/Health/Environmental Field Installations Close-out
Conflict Resolution OWNER/CONTRACTOR Value Time Money Performance Profits
Expectations of client is an inherent part of the project specifications. Is it? Project Management Meredith 2006 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Example Fireplace installer submits a bid. You sign their proposal. Fireplace installer submits a bid. You sign your Purchase Order. Fireplace installer submits a bid. You sign their proposal and your Purchase Order. I suppose the date of the signature would dictate the appropriate terms. What they are providing, scope dictates the quality, product and specifications of their proposal.

All addendum and revisions reflected in Bid Documents match Contract Documents. A thorough review is required. Any critical documents during final bid negotiations must become part of the contract.
Master Format Specifications The specifications writing standard for most commercial building design and construction projects in North America. Specifications list by division and section data about construction requirements, products and activities. In 2004 they implemented a new set of divisions that will begin to take into effect in 06 and 08.
Technical Specifications Division One- General Requirements General items as they relate to all phases of the work. In relation to meetings, submittal requirements, schedule requirements, testing services, supervision requirements, temporary facilities, cleaning and project close out and documentation.
Technical Specifications Relates to labor, material, equipment and procedures to accomplish the required construction work divided into forty-nine divisions as per the master format published by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI). There may be different organizations for specifications in heavy/highway and industrial construction. They still will have detailed specifications.
Divisions 2-49 Specific Specification Sections that describes the products, equipment and systems that are intended to be installed during the project. General Items Products Execution These work hand in hand with the drawings. New format adds and changes mechanical and electrical breakdowns from Division 15 and 16 to Divisions 20, 30 and 40.

Conflict Resolution Coordination-Collaboration Between the designers Between contractors & designers Coordination through lead designer and contractor Owner s Representative- can be separate and can be lead designer at times
Elevations: as you would see it standing in front of the building Separate elevations for each face east, west, north, south Two dimensional shows vertical placement of items Indicate size, shape, and materials of exterior Shows size proportion of openings doors, windows Gives an idea what the building will look like
Building Wall Sections Sections A cut through the plan, vertically Looking as if the building was cut open along a line Shows the structure of the building Shows wall, floor, roof sizes Further detail shows composition of walls Shows the materials and their relationships in the walls
