Construction vs Manufacturing Process
Construction Process Manufacturing Process
Nature Service-oriented Product-based
Quantity of Production Single and unique product Mass/batches of units
Target Purchaser Clients who need a facility Without designated purchaser
Focus Planning and controlling resources within the timeframe of project Applying resources over the life of extended production run of many unit
3
Construction and Manufacturing Process

• Manufacturing Process
• Construction Process

Design and Fabricate units
Units in inventory
Distribute units for sale
Preliminary Design
Final Design
Construction
4
Sequence of Project Development

• Three parties
• Owner who needs for a facility
• Designer who designs the facility on the basis
  of owners need
• Constructor Contractor, who constructs the
  facility on the basis of the design

5
Sequence of Project Development

• Owner shows a need for the facility
• Designer carries out feasibility studies and cost
  estimations
• Obtain a conceptual design and approximate cost
  estimate
• Proceed with detailed design
• Advertising project
• Acceptance of proposal and construction commenced
• Project testing and maintenance of the facility

6
Construction Technology and Management

• Technology
• techniques used to place physical materials and
  elements of construction
• Management
• 4M resources manpower, machines, materials and
  money
• Construction manager should consider optimum
  application of 4M resources, should also consider
  quality, time and money constraints

7
Structure of Construction Industry

• Building
• Habitational, institutional, educational,
  commercial, social, recreational, office
  building, shopping centers, sports complexes
• Engineered
• Highways Project and Heavy Project
• Industrial
• Highly technical projects in product
  manufacturing and processing

8
Management

• Hierarchical

Organizational

Preparing the bid package

• Establishing Need
• Establishment of a need of certain facility for
  users
• Social needs? Economic needs?
• Need Evaluation
• Cost/benefit analysis
• Graphical representation of the project and a
  layout diagram
• Cost estimate based on the conceptual-level
  information available

10
Conceptual Drawings and Estimates

• Cost/benefit analysis, layout drawings, 3D models
• Cost estimate conceptual drawing
• Estimate based on specific cost indexes

11
Design of a facility

• Preliminary design
• General layout, floor plan, building cladding,
  finishing, heating system, foundation support,
  structural frame
• Detailed design
• Gives a detailed design to ensure the design is
  within owners financial resources and to
  evaluate bids
