Have you heard it before?
Probably noConstruction management as a profession is a relatively new conceptBut it is not new in practice
![Page 9: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Construction Industry
![Page 10: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is Construction Industry?
An organized economic activity connected with the construction of a particular product involving a large number of peopleThe product is a Construction Project
![Page 11: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Is it just Construction?
Who do you prefer to talk to – a medical doctor, a law practitioner or a general contractor?You remember the designers of skyscrapers, highways, etc but do you remember the contractors who build them?
![Page 12: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
No, it’s not!
Drawing a pretty picture on paper or calculating a complex engineering formula does not make a building real—construction does, and that takes tremendous creativity, ingenuity, skill, blood, sweat, and tears.

Nature of Construction Industry
Construction industry can be divided into 2 broad categories
General Building Construction
Engineered Construction
![Page 14: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
General Building Construction
Includes residential, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings Performed by contractors who hire specialty subcontractors as needed; some of this work may be built by owners themselves
![Page 15: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Engineered Construction
Designs prepared by engineers rather than architects The provision of facilities usually related to the public infrastructure and thus owned by public-sector entities and funded through bonds, rates or taxes and a high degree of mechanisation and the use of much heavy equipment and plant in the construction process.
![Page 16: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Construction Industry Characteristics
Construction is big business, totalling more than $3.9 trillion annually worldwideIncludes a variety of people: Architects, engineers, drafts people, building inspectors, code officials, material & machinery suppliers, etcRoughly 30-35% of employment in Pakistan is affiliated with construction sector

Ancient Era
It is 12000 BC and you need protection from rain, snow and scorching sunlightMud, wood & stone serve as your building materials for making sheltersAfter some time period stronger tools of iron & bronze allowed man to develop his expertise in building tradeSimple dwellings emerged into planned settlements
![Page 19: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Egypt and the Pyramids
Egyptians began to use stone as their primary building material Ingenuity of ancient builders conquered
the challenges of moving large stones
No distinction between architecture, engineering, or construction The master builder concept
![Page 20: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Greek Influence
Greek master builders started to organize and utilize small groups of skilled stonemasons Level of expertise associated with a
master craftsman
![Page 21: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Roman EmpireMost influential periods of time for architecture, engineering, and building scienceManufacture of stone, glass & road construction are highlighted featuresAround 40 BC, a Roman writer, engineer, and architect named Marcus Vitruvius wrote the first design and construction handbook The master builder was responsible for both the
design and the supervision of the construction
![Page 22: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Appian Way

The Middle Ages
With the downfall of the Roman Empire came a real decline in building activity and technologyRoman Catholic Church revitalized stone constructionCraft training and education became a major focusThree distinct stages of ability were recognized—master, journeyman, and apprentice. Still widely recognized today among the trade
unions.

The Renaissance
Concept of the master builder began to be questioned as the most efficient way to buildInterestingly, there is a real push today to return to the master builder concept collaborative team
![Page 25: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Industrial Revolution
Cast iron and wrought iron became the building materials of choice.New machinery and equipment such as steam shovels, steam hammers, and pile drivers were being invented to support building
![Page 26: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The 20th CenturyTime, cost, and quality became critical concerns for those needing new facilitiesBuilding codes, standards, and specifications were established to help regulate and control the quality of materials and methodsNew issues such as the environment, energy conservation, sustainability, safety, and workforce diversity started to add to the complexity of the building process in a way that had never been seen beforeThe ability to measure and monitor progress and economic effectiveness of the construction process became more important
![Page 27: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The 20th Century
Although the discipline of engineering had been tapped to provide the management function for years, a new distinction was being drawnNew educational program was developed to merge management principles, methodologies, and techniques with the art, science, and craft of building Program introduced estimating, scheduling,
project controls, and project administration techniques
![Page 28: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What does Construction Manager do?
Take a set of written plans and specifications and a raw piece of land Coordinate all of the materials, manpower, and equipment necessary to guarantee the set price, schedule, and quality of the project without any accidents or errors, regardless
of weather conditions, interest rate fluctuations, acts of God, or any other unforeseen conditions
![Page 29: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Construction Management Defined
“Construction management (CM) entails the planning, scheduling, evaluation, and controlling of construction tasks or activities to accomplish specific objectives by effectively allocating and utilizing appropriate labor, material, and time resources in a manner that minimizes costs and maximizes customer/owner satisfaction.”
![Page 30: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why Construction Management?
In the most traditional sense, the construction management function is simply provided alongside the actual construction services Contractor’s construction management services
as part of the package
If there are errors or omissions in the plans and specifications that were not discovered prior to construction, the contractor is not liable for any resulting cost overruns or time delays
![Page 31: Lec.1. Intro to Construction Management & Planning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061122/5472b350b4af9fc70b8b464c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
