Objective
The objective of this lecture is to present an overview of the
events and processes that bring about a structure, from the
concept in the owners mind to the completed design by the
architects and engineers and, finally, to the actual construction
of the structure by the contractor

1. PRE-DESIGN PHASE
During the predesign phase (also called the
planning phase), the project is defined in terms of
its function, purpose, scope, size, and
economics. It is the most essential of all the five
phases
Obviously, the clearer the projects definition, the
easier it is to proceed to the subsequent phases

1. Building program definition
2. Building budget assessment
3. Site assessment and selection
4. Governmental constraints assessment
5. Design team selection
1. PRE-DESIGN PHASE
For a house, or other small project, the program is
usually simple and can be developed by the owner
without external assistance
For a large project, It is usual for the owner to
involve the architect and a few other consultants of
the design team in preparing the program
Whatever the situation, the owners program is the
first step in the project delivery process
2. DESIGN PHASE
The design phase begins after the selection of the
architect
In most projects, the design team (depending on the
size and scope of the project) consists of the:

2. DESIGN PHASE
In most building projects, the design phase consists
of three stages:
1. Schematic design stage (SD)
2. DESIGN PHASE
2. Design development stage (DD)
Once the schematic design is approved by the owner, the
process of designing the building in greater detail begins
The DD stage focuses on developing practical and real
solutions for the exterior works, structure, fenestration
(arrangement of windows in a building), interior
systems, MEPF systems, and so forth
Therefore, the most critical feature of the DD stage is
decision making, which may range from broad design
aspects to details. At this stage, the final decisions about
products, materials, and equipment are made
2. DESIGN PHASE
3. Construction documents stage (CD)
The purpose of the (CD) stage is to prepare all
documents required by the contractor to construct the
building
The construction documents consist of the following:
Construction drawings
Specifications

3. PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The preconstruction phase generally begins after the
construction drawings and specifications have been
completed and culminates in the selection of the construction
team
The work is generally done by a team consisting of the
general contractor and a number of specialty subcontractors
The general contractors own work may be limited only to the
structural components of the buildingbasements and
foundations, load-bearing walls, reinforced concrete beams
and columns, roof, floor slabs
The subcontractors may be roofing; window and curtain wall;
and heating, plumbing, ventilation, and air-conditioning
(HVAC) subcontractors

3. PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Selecting A General Contractor
The four commonly methods used for selecting a general
contractor are:
1. Competitive bidding method
2. Invitational bidding method
3. Negotiated contract method
4. Multiple prime contract method
4. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Once the general contractor has been selected and the
contract awarded, the construction work begins, as
described in the contract documents
The general contractor will normally have his or her own
inspection process to ensure that the work of all
subcontractors is progressing as indicated in the contract
documents
The architects will observe the general contractor that
their drawings and specifications are transformed to reality
just as they had designed
5. POST-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
SUMMARY
1. Pre-design phase: Project definition
2. Design phase: construction drawings and specifications
3. Pre-construction phase: selection of the construction
team
4. Construction phase: Completion the construction
works
5. Post-construction phase: Finalizing the incomplete
works
