Module Learning Outcomes
LO1 Discuss the stages of a design process, and the types of information
required to communicate, share and manage the project process.
LO2 Explain the different types of construction information developed
through the course of a project.

New construction
▪ Involvesthe creation of entirely new
structures or buildings that did not
previously exist.
▪ Includes all phases of construction.
o Residential homes

12.
Renovation and Remodeling
▪Focuses on modifying, updating, or improving existing buildings or structures.
▪ Can range from minor updates to major
structural changes.
Minor- painting, flooring
Major- adding new rooms
▪ Often aims to enhance the functionality,
aesthetic appeal, or value of a property.
o Kitchen remodels
o Office renovations
o Historic building restoration 12
13.
Specialized construction
▪ Involvesprojects with specialized
requirements, often adhering to
standards or involving unique
construction techniques
▪ Varies widely depending on the
specialization, from sustainable
building practices to highly technical
installations. (eg; Green Buildings)
▪ Often driven by specific goals such as
sustainability, energy efficiency, or
advanced technological integration.

✓ Constructing systemsand structures that
support the functioning of a community
or society.

Main parties ofa construction project
Client
Consultant/Engineer
Contractor
Architect
21
✓ Construction business
promoters.
✓ Construction manpower
recruitment and training
agencies.
✓ Banking and finance institutions
✓ Construction materials
developers.
✓ Construction plant and
machinery manufacturers,
distributors, repair and
maintenance organizations.
22.
22
Client
The Client/Owner– hasspecific goals, expectations and a budget that is in alignment
with these goals and expectations
23.
Consultant/Engineer
❑ Consultant workson a project-basis and he or she works with often
highly specialized tasks.
❑ Consulting tasks include tasks like
✓ Developing and supporting the development of the design
working with tasks related to project management,
✓ Preparing tenders and designs
✓ Contract administration,
✓ Inspecting the work of construction contractors,
✓ Advising on sustainability
❑ Structural Engineers, Building Services Engineers, Draftsmen 23
24.
Architect
24
Must guide theClient,
propose reasonable,
sustainable design
solutions, and provide
accurate, detailed drawings.
These must meet the
Client's requirements
as well as applicable
building codes and
zoning criteria.
The finalized
construction documents
will become the Client’s
contract with the
contractor
25.
Contractor
❑ Hired bythe client to complete the project
❑ Execution of the work activities that are required for the
completion of the project
❑ Roles and Responsibilities include project planning, management,
monitoring, construction site safety, and legal issues.
❑ The contractor also appoint subcontractor, who have special
expertise, to execute certain parts of the project that cannot be
constructed by the contractor.

26.
Type of contractors
26
▪Traditional contractors / Design- Bid Method
✓ Client wishes to use own design
✓ Appoint consultant to design
▪ Design & build Contractors
✓ Project is more functional
✓ Client does not wish to use own design
27.
27
• Traditional contractors(Design Bid Build)
Type of contractors
▪ Owner manage two separate contractors.
▪ Should set the coordination between the designer and contractor
▪ Designer and contractor can easily blame one another for cost overrun
28.
28
• Design andbuild contractors
Type of contractors
▪ Owner manages only one contract with a single point of responsibility
▪ Designer and contractor are in the same team
▪ Changes are addressed by the design and build team
▪ Team manages the subcontractors
30
Type of contractors
▪Cost-Comparisons: Greater level of cost comparison between tendering parties
and therefore allows to choose based on the lowest price or the best quality or
the combination of both that fits the needs.
▪ Control: Client has more control over the various contractors and suppliers
throughout the project.
▪ Design: Close working relationship with your chosen design team to get the
design right.
Traditional contractors (Design Bid Build)
Benefits
31.
31
Type of contractors
Traditionalcontractors (Design Bid Build)
▪ Longer tender process- This is likely to take longer in construction and designs are
separated projects.
▪ Time-Consuming: Generally, the traditional procurement route is more time-
consuming, this will require coordination and continuous discussions.
▪ Multiple Contacts: There are usually more parties to communicate with throughout
a project, generally including – Designer, Project Manager, Main Contractor,
Consultant.
▪ mainly in the pre-construction period.
Drawbacks
32.
32
Type of contractors
Designand build contractors
▪ Communication: one company handle both design and construction minimizing
the needs of coordination and the risk of inconsistencies.
▪ Increase efficiency: One party handle the entire project would result in better
coordination between design skills and construction skills increasing the project
speed .
Benefits
33.
33
Type of contractors
Designand build contractors
▪ Client has less control over project when compared to Design Bid method.
▪ contract price may be higher to reflect the increased contractor risk - if
awarded on a lump sum basis.
▪ Greater reliance on single provider, therefore more trust needed in the team
you appoint.
Drawbacks

Time - availabletime to deliver the project.
Cost - amount of money or resources available.
Quality - fit-to-purpose that the project must
achieve to be a success.

Add time - delay the
project to give you
more time to add the
functionality
Add cost - recruit, hire or
acquire more people to
do the extra work
Cut quality - trade off some
non-essential
requirements for the new
requirements
