Q

Site conditions that concern the CONSTRUCTION TEAM

A
  • Site topography to layout possible staging area
  • Access roads and service utility tapping
  • Suitable location for temfacil
  • Object that can interfere with construction
  • Environmental factors and its impact
17
Q

An organized approach in identifying unnecessary costs in design and construction and in soliciting or proposing alternative design or construction technology to reduce costs without sacrificing quality or performance requirements

A

Value Engineering

18
Q

Usually involves the steps of gathering pertinent information, searching for creative ideas, evaluating the promising alternatives, and proposing a more cost effective alternative

A

Value Engineering

19
Q

3 Stages of Construction Planning

A
  • Estimate Stage
  • Monitoring and Control Stage
  • Evaluation Stage
20
Q

Involves development of a cost and duration estimate for the construction of the facility as part of the proposal of the contractor

A

Estimate Stage

21
Q

Keeps track of both the activities duration and the ongoing costs

A

Monitoring and Control Stage

22
Q

Is the one in which results are matched against the estimate. Results from this review will be an aid for the planning of future projects

A

Evaluation Stage

23
Q

Involves transferring a significant portion of construction operation from the construction site to a remote site where individual components of building and structures are produced

A

Prefabrication

24
Q

Fabricated elements will be assembled on-site using appropriate machinery and equipment

A

Prefabrication

25
Q

Ranges from piping, HVAC, electrical heavy equipment, even temporary structures such as formworks

A

Prefabrication
