We make life “comfortable”
Water & Sanitary systems - keep us healthy
Housing – keeps us warm & safe
Transportation systems – help us travel
Factories – build the stuff we need & want
Office buildings – give us a place to work
Schools – a place to prepare our children
Energy systems – keep it all running

10. We Train The Quarterbacks

11. Construction Manager (CM)…
CM = QB of construction team
Develops all plans & makes key decisions
Oversees construction operations
Makes changes when needed

Provides interface with clients
Submits progress payments & claims
Responsible for quality control
Ensures all work is completed

12. Building a Project The 4 phases of project development
Planning & Programming
Design & Engineering
Construction (Manufacturing)
Maintenance

13. About Construction… It’s an extremely complex process…
Many players, many variables, many unknowns
Design is never perfect
Like manufacturing… but…
Not in factory and teams are variable
Production site is crude & unprepared
Very large projects – rarely build more than one
Very large risks – $$$$$ + owner’s only experience
Large penalties for error or contract failure
Money drives all aspects of the process
One chance to get it right
Goal is to deliver a perfect product

14. Construction vs. Engineering
Construction Engineering
Mostly outdoor 1. Mostly Indoor
Teamwork 2. Individual work
Business skills 3. Technical skills
Multi-skills 4. Specialized skills
Variable locations 5. Fixed location
Team Leadership 6. Self-discipline
Total project 7. One component
Large budget 8. Small budget
Greater risk 9. Smaller risk
End product 10. Partial product

15. Construction skills… Skills you need in construction
Fundamentals: science, math, business
Contracting: risk, legal issues, changes
Project Controls: schedule, cost, estimates
Construction Operations: planning, purchasing, construction documents, productivity, quality, documentation,
safety, logistics, closeout
Leadership: teams, organization, motivation, success, ethics
