Building contracts define responsibilities and allocate risk between parties in a construction project. The Joint Contracts Tribunal provides standard forms of building contracts for different project sizes and types. The key parties are the employer/owner and contractor. Contracts establish risk management by apportioning risks like delays or unsatisfactory work between the parties.
The document discusses construction project management. It provides background on the construction industry, noting that it is large, employs many workers, and often experiences cost overruns and delays. It then describes various challenges in construction including its bespoke nature, many stakeholders, and constraints of time, cost, and quality. The stages of construction projects and roles of various participants like architects, engineers, and contractors are outlined. Project planning, coordination, control, and other management functions are also summarized.
A survey was conducted on construction project risk management. The results showed that respondents felt the most important things were risk identification and mitigation, analyzing competitors' risks, and ensuring risks are distributed fairly between contracting parties. The Construction Project Risk Management Asia 2011 conference will provide answers to questions on managing risks, with case studies from major infrastructure projects. Attendees can register by email or phone.
Lean construction aims to transform project management by removing waste and improving productivity, quality, schedules and costs. It draws from lean manufacturing principles to minimize non-value adding activities through tools like target value design, pull scheduling using the Last Planner System, and building information modeling (BIM). Integrated project delivery brings project teams together early through lean contracts to collaboratively design-to-budget and optimize the whole project, rather than sub-optimizing parts. This new approach requires transforming project culture from adversarial to relational and focusing on customer value and continuous improvement.

Q&A
The document describes a case study presented by Joy Gumz of Project Auditors LLC on managing risks on complex projects. The case study involves planning a large oil refinery project in Saudi Arabia as the program risk engineer. It outlines the project objectives, stakeholders, costs, contracting strategies such as using an EPC contractor or multiple packages, and timelines. It also discusses procurement risks and includes risk matrices to evaluate risks. The audience is asked questions to discuss the project delivery approach and contracting to help reduce risks.
The document discusses barriers to innovation in development systems. Established systems like CAD and valuation software have improved development processes but lack collaboration capabilities. This causes inefficiencies from a lack of a system all involved parties can access. A proposed solution is a building information modeling (BIM) system like Autodesk Revit combined with a collaborative project management (CPM) tool. This would allow all parties to view coordinated project information from any device, improving communication and reducing costs from improved collaboration.
KONARC POINT TECHNICAL SERVICES & CONTRACTING LLC is a UAE-based contracting company specialized in fast-track construction projects. The document provides an overview of the company's values, vision, services, projects, clients, and contact information. It establishes that KONARC is committed to quality, safety, and meeting client needs through a team of experienced engineers and staff. Examples of completed projects include infrastructure development, sewerage and drainage systems, and potable water pipelines. The company's goal is to achieve excellence and satisfy clients.
The document discusses project management techniques and introduces Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). It notes that traditional project management methods often result in projects being late, over budget, below specifications and below quality. It then outlines some of the key principles of CCPM, which aims to resolve issues in traditional approaches that slow things down and lead to inefficiencies. Specifically, CCPM uses a schedule with few internal due dates to allow for early finishes, aggregates contingency at the project level rather than at the task level, and accounts for resource constraints that the critical path method does not. The document argues this approach can deliver projects on time, faster and with increased productivity compared to traditional methods.

1994 and Construction (Health,
Safety and Welfare) Regulations
1996
Key Aims
• Focus on effective planning and
management of risk
• Improve cooperation and
coordination
• Simplify competence assessment
• Reduce bureaucracy
8. CDM 2007 – Making A Difference
What are the main changes?

Notification (F10)
• Client’s duty on
management arrangements
• No more “Client’s Agent”
• A new dutyholder- the Co-
ordinator
• Clarity in relation to
competence assessment
9. CDM 2007 – Making A Difference
Cutting back on paper
• Does it reduce risk on site?
Should be the main criteria
for all actions.
• CDM 2007 requires 3
documents (if project is
notifiable)
– A Notification (F10 form)
– A Construction phase
health and safety plan
– The Health and Safety
File
10. CDM 2007 – Making A Difference
Expectation on Clients
• They should make sure
things are done not
necessarily do them
themselves
• Coordinator is their key
H&S adviser for the
project
• Must provide enough
time and resource to
allow the project to be
delivered safely
11. CDM 2007 – Making A Difference
Clients’ Duties
• Engage competent and
adequately resourced team
members
• Provide relevant information to
team
• Ensure arrangements for
managing the project are suitable
• Ensure welfare is in place from the
start
• Ensure work does not start until
the PC has a construction phase
plan
• Ensure the H & S File is prepared
12. CDM 2007 – Making A Difference
Co-ordinators
More than just a change of
name:
• Key client adviser on
competence, provision of
information, adequacy of
construction phase plan
• Ensures proper co-
ordination of the design
process
• Ensures the right
information to the right
people at the right time
• Draws up the H&S File
13. CDM 2007 – Making A Difference
Who can be a Co-ordinator
• Anyone - so long as they fulfil
competence given in ACOP
• An appointment has to be
made early – but by who?
• The duties can be carried out
by a
– Designer
– Contractor
– PC
– or full time Coordinator
• On small jobs a combined role
of designer and Coordinator
may have advantages
14. CDM 2007 – Making a Difference
Who are Designers?
• People who prepare a
design for construction
work, including:
– Drawings
– Schedule of work
– Design details, analysis,
calculations
– Specifications & bills of
quantities
– Design & Build
contractors
– Statutory bodies that
require features that are
not statutory
requirements
15. CDM 2007 – Making a Difference
Designers
Designers have to:
• Ensure clients are
aware of their duties
• Make sure they
(designer) are
competent
• Only do initial design
work until co-ordinator
appointed (notifiable
projects)
• Eliminate hazards,
reduce residual risks
• Provide information
16. CDM 2007 – Making a Difference
Designers
Consider buildability, operability, maintainability throughout the design
process
Design review should include hazard elimination & risk reduction
Simple design
measure to reduce risk
18. CDM 2007 – Principal Contractor
Notifiable Projects
