CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGMENT; APPENDIX F; CHAPTER 2,3,6,8 Flashcards
The three categories used by the NCF are?
- Direct labor
- Indirect labor
- Readiness and training.
DIRECT LABOR?
Direct labor includes all labor expended directly on assigned construction tasks, either in the field or in the shop,
which contributes directly to completing the project.
indirect labor?
Indirect labor includes all labor required to support construction, but does not usually produce an end product
itself. Therefore, this time is not reported under a project number, but under an indirect labor code as follows
Readiness and training?
Readiness and training are comprised of functions related to preparation for and execution of military exercises,
disaster preparedness, mobility, and technical training. Training includes attendance at service schools; factory
and industrial training courses; fleet-type training; special Seabee training courses; safety training; military
training; and any organized training conducted within the unit
project management process normally begins at what level?
unit level. this
directive provides the who, what, when, where, and why of a particular project and may be in the form of an
OPORD, FRAGORD, or a WARNORD.
Military engineers use the?
six-phase construction project model
Project Package?
The project package, also referred to as a project folder, is a critical part of project management. It is the
permanent record of everything that occurs on the project from start to closeout. Operations is responsible for
maintaining the official copy of the project package. The project supervisor is responsible for creating and
maintaining an on-site project package for the entire duration of the project. This on-site project package is turned
over to operations for incorporation into the official copy upon completion of co
Lead element is responsible for?
for the quality, safety, and timeliness of the construction effort and directs
support elements accordingly.
Support element?
is responsible for schedule coordination and resource assignment in sufficient quantity
and quality to accomplish the assigned project.
A milestone represents?
. A milestone represents a decision point, a major
accomplishment, or a deliverable. The milestones form is routed through the project manager to the operations
officer for approval of milestone dates.
Master activities are used to develop construction management?
Level II Gantt charts
what are the 3 levels of gantt charts?
Level 1 - Project List
Level 2 - individual project master activities
Level 3 - individual project construction activities
Level III?
ilitary engineers use the Level III Gantt chart to plan, schedule, and monitor/control the
day-to-day operations of the project. A Level III chart is maintained for each project. The Level III is
similar to the Level II in format, but goes into greater detail. The horizontal timeline specifies days; the
vertical line items are construction activities for the project. The Level III provides a plan for project
supervisors to accomplish project tasking. Project supervisors update the Level III Gantt chart daily. At the
end of each two-week period, project supervisors plot the actual percent completed on the Level II Gantt
chart.
Level II?
Military engineers use the Level II Gantt chart for an individual project plan as well as to control
and evaluate progress. The horizontal timeline specifies weeks for the entire duration of the project; the
vertical line items are master activities for individual projects and reflect allocated manpower resources.
Level I?
Military engineers use the Level I Gantt chart as the primary management tool to integrate efforts
and manage overall unit tasking. The horizontal timeline for a Level I specifies months; the vertical line
items are individual projects and reflect total MDs planned and/or expended
Man day formula?
MDs = Quantity of Work/Unit Size × Man-hours Required per Unit Size/8 Man-hours per Day
logic network?
The project supervisor and assigned crew leaders construct a logic network that graphically illustrates the
construction activity sequence from start to finish as well as the interdependencies among activities
PRECEDENCE DIAGRAM?
Primary purpose is to show overall project duration and to identify the critical path.
The critical path represents the group of construction activities that must be started on time and completed within
the duration in order to finish the project by the scheduled completion date.
The DD Form ____ is the legally established method for
transferring ownership of Government real property; it provides the host base real property office with the
information needed to add the facility to the base real property records

Project Logbook?
The project supervisor maintains a logbook documenting events and daily actions on the jobsite in order to have
an accurate record and a basis for an assessment of the project status. Events and actions must be written down
before they are forgotten
Construction Activity Summary Sheet perform two primary functions?
- Resource management support for linking resources (e.g., support plan actions, labor, tools, equipment,
material) as determined in the detailed planning phase to the project schedule - Official documentation of actual project execution statistics as part of the project package
Two-week Schedule
