The Phases of a Project

CCCE 2011 4

• Design• Tendering• Construction

5

The Design Phase• Conception:

• What, Where, When

• Project Definition:• What, Where, When

• Budget:• Who• Estimate

• (Ball Park?, Order of Magnitude?, Unit price?)

CCCE 2011 5

The Tendering PhaseHow does the owner want to project to turn out?

Owner to General Contractor Tendering• Who, How

• Construction Management• Design Build• Lump Sum• ????

** Invited or Open Market? **

Where does Tendering fit ?• Before or after the Design Phase.• As part of the Design Phase, or• As part of the Construction Phase

Tendering to Sub-contractors• Who are they, why would the owner need to know?• What difference does a sub-contractor make?

Contractor Involvement

• Responsibilities– The main items that the contractor is responsible for are:

• Review of design information• Shop Drawings• Change orders• Conduit to subs & manufacturers

• The contractor will have to assist on other areas’, mainly in gathering of documentation & participation in meetings

• Oh, yah ….. and to do the building portion!

8CCCE 2011

Project Management• Tender Period to Sub-contractors

• Include LEED information in tendering information to sub-contractors.• Include LEED information in contracts to sub-contractors.• Invite sub-contractors who have completed LEED projects.

– Choose LEED-aware sub-contractors ????– Name an onsite LEED Champion (General Contractor Individual)

• Continuous monitoring and onsite education.• Tracking whether documentation is being kept up-to-date.• Prevent contractors who may,due to force of habit, revert to conventional

methods,which could compromise LEED credits if not noticed and prevented.• Assemble documentation.

– Educate about LEED (General Contractor’s Responsibility)• Onsite signage explaining LEED.• A job-site meeting with all contractors explaining how LEED relates to the project.

Contractor Involvement

• Responsibilities– Most of the credits are not the contractors

responsibility.– The main credits that the contractor is

responsible for are:• Prerequisite 1: Erosion Sedimentation Control• MR - C2: Construction Waste Management• EQ - C3:Construction IAQ Management Plan

• The contractor will have to assist on other credits, mainly in gathering of documentation.

LEED Benefit• LEED – HOW DO CONTRACTORS BENEFIT?

– risk mitigation through consistent and accurate documentation which is required to be submitted for third party verification.

– integrated design process reduces the risk of errors, deficiencies and project over-runs.

– closer relationships with clients, subtrades and supplies.– financial savings through on-site recycling, improved supply cost and

management of materials (less waste), preference to local suppliers, efficient construction techniques.

– competitive value through leadership in a rapidly expanding field.– improved business efficiency through required diligent paper work and

record keeping.– future construction opportunities.

Transporting Material up North Can Be Scary

There a few different methods to transport material, equipment, supplies, etc. to sites in YK.

Truck (Ice Roads)FerryHelicopter (Expensive)Plane (Expensive)

CCCE 2011 40

Ice Roads

The ice crossing is normally open to small vehicles in late December, it opens to larger vehicles in mid-January, and closes in mid-April.

CCCE 2011 41

Ice Roads & Ferry Transportation

There is about a 3 month period where it may be difficult to transport material, equipment, supplies, etc. to your project because of ice break-up or freeze-up.

Risk Mitigation StrategiesRisks in a project are always present. It is identifying them up front and taking proactive measures to mitigate the negative effects on the project that requires a systematic approach to risk management such as:

•Identify and quantify

•By making them explicit they are easier to manage

•Have a plan to deal with each one, control them and thus minimize potential damage

•Identify risks as part of value management

•Ensure good Health and Safety Management plans are in effect

•Maximize and pre-qualify major subtrades for quality, performance and fiscal responsibility

What is IPD?

“Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), is a collaborative alliance of people,

systems, business structures and practices into a process that harnesses

the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results,

increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design,

fabrication, and construction.”

The Business Case: Cost benefits of green building:

Hard Numbers

• Operating costs decrease 8-9%• Building value increases 7.5%• Return on investment improves 6.6%• Occupancy ratio increases 3.5%• Rent ratio increases 3%In comparison to the average commercial building:

» Green buildings consume 26% less energy» Green buildings have 13% lower maintenance costs» Green buildings have 27% higher occupant

satisfaction» Green buildings have 33% less greenhouse gas

emissions
