CONTRACTOR should know...





***The development process applied to a construction project starts at inception and ends with demolition.



The major stages of the construction development process (simplified) are as follows:



(i) Inception

(ii) Design and Costing

(iii) Construction

(iv) In-use

(v) Demolition



Inception stage - The clients/owners initiate construction projects and involve:



(i) Identification of the client’s requirements and development of brief

(ii) Selection of appropriate location

(iii) Securing of financial resources

(iv) Feasibility study

(v) The decision to build

(vi) Appointment of suitable design team members to be involved with the project



Design and Costing stage – the design team prepares the required drawings and documentation required for the implementation of the project:



(i) Development of the project design (drawings and specifications) based on the client’s requirements

(ii) Costing the design

(iii) Preparation of the tender documentation (includes Bills of Quantities) to enable tenders to be obtained for the construction of the project

(iv) Application for statutory approvals

(v) Identification and appointment of contractors for the construction of the project

(vi) Preparation of the contract documentation



Construction stage - This is the stage when the contractor commences the work on site and includes:



(i) Project planning where the contractor will programme the work in accordance with the contract conditions

(ii) Operations on site to completion of the project

(iii) Commissioning where the contractor hands over the completed project to the client



In-use stage - This is the longest phase of the project’s life cycle where maintenance, repair and modifications are necessary so that the project will be able to fulfil its function as initially planned



Demolition stage – Demolition becomes necessary through decay and obsolescence and when no further use can be made of the project

 these processes should be followed tightly to ensure the entire project to function smoothly..

from the design,rectify until the construction process, all parties should be concerned about the progress.

this is vital for contractors..as they are the key to the success
