Construction Contractors
Builders who supervise the execution of construction
projects are traditionally referred to as contractors, or more
appropriately called constructors.
The general contractor coordinates various tasks for a
project.
The specialty contractors such as mechanical or
electrical contractors perform the work in their specialties.
Material and equipment suppliers often act as installation
contractors; they play a significant role in a construction
project since the conditions of delivery of materials and
equipment affect the quality, cost, and timely completion of
the project.

Scope
Management:
includes
the
processes required to ensure that the project
includes all the work required, and only the
work required, to complete the project
successfully. It is primarily concerned with
defining and controlling what is or is not
included in the project to meet the goals and
objectives.
It consists of authorization, scope planning,
scope definition, scope change management
and scope verification.
Time Management:
includes the process
required to ensure timely performance of the
project. It consists of activity definition, activity
sequencing, duration estimating, establishing the
calendar, schedule development and time control.
The most important part of the works organization are:
1.The preparation of a comprehensive time and progress
chart for the execution of the work.
2.The periodic revision of the chart as circumstances
demand, and the regular comparison of progress chart
made with the program.

Gantt Chart
Henry Gantt developed this tool for displaying the progression of a
project.
is a tool, which takes the form of a horizontal bar chart, used for
planning and scheduling simple projects.
The advantage of Gantt chart is its simplicity, making it very popular
Can be useful for initial project planning, which then gives way to
the use of networks called PERT and CPM.
PERT/CPM
PERT - Program Evaluation and Review Technique
CPM Critical Path Method
PERT/CPM is a control tool for defining the parts of construction job and
then putting them together in a network form.
gives a time leeway or float available for each of the non-critical work
operations. The information on float time will give the project manager that
opportunity to maneuver in their planning and control of the operations.
PERT/CPM indicates the earliest starting date for each work operations
and sub-contracts for supply and delivery of materials.
In case of change order where the owner would not want to extend the
contract time, PERT/CPM offers a means of re-scheduling the operations but
still to be completed at the least increase in cost.
With the critical path schedule as revised to reflect the change order, any
claim if any, for additional payment will be understood both by the owner and
the contractor.

Construction Equipment
The selection of the appropriate type and size of construction equipment
often affects the required amount of time and effort and thus the job-site
productivity of a project.
It is therefore important for site managers and construction planners to
be familiar with the characteristics of the major types of equipment most
commonly used in construction.
Choice of Equipment and Standard Production Rates
Typically, construction equipment is used to perform essentially repetitive
operations, and can be broadly classified according to two basic
functions: (1) operators such as cranes, graders, etc. which stay within
the confines of the construction site, and (2) haulers such as dump
trucks, ready mixed concrete truck, etc. which transport materials to and
from the site.
In both cases, the cycle of a piece of equipment is a sequence of tasks
which is repeated to produce a unit of output.
1. Purchase it
2. Rent it
3. Rent it with an option to purchase it at a
later date.
ADVANTAGES OF RENTING
1.Small money lay-out
2.No need to hire operators/mechanics.
3.No money lay-out for building workshop
4.No financing interest
5.No need for maintenance support (vehicles and
equipment)
6.No worry of equipment breakdown because of
immediate replacement from contractors fleet.
CONCLUSION:
Thank you..
