Course Objectives: The
objective of this course is to offer advanced seniors an educational environment
that simulates the preparation and development of a proposal and plan for a
project. This proposal will describe the construction engineering systems that
will be used for the successful delivery of the project, and will contain sections
related to:
· Site facilities
· Construction methods
· Constriction Coordination
· Constructipn project control
Topics:
1. Construction Project Evaluation
· In-depth understanding of Construction Documents
· Understanding site conditions and their impact on construction
2. Project Estimate Makeup
· Quantity Takeoff
· Crew Development
· Pricing
3. Construction Planning
· CPM Scheduling
· Lead/Lag Scheduling
4. Project Administration & Control
· Project Updating
· Cost Codes
· Work Breakdown Structure
· Organization Breakdown Structure
5. Construction Project Management Issues
· Insurance
· Bonding
· Specifications
· Manufacturing
· Quality Issues
6. Computer Scheduling & Estimating
· Primavera
· WinEst
7. Semester project
· Students will be divided into teams. Each team will select a construction
project conforming to parameters prepared by the instructor. At the conclusion
of the semester, each team will present to a professional jury composed of UCF
professors and industry members, a complete proposal for the successful delivery
of the facility. This proposal will include the following project elements and
systems: Project Scope & Description, Schedule, Estimate, Quality, Project
Control, Safety, Risk Management, Procurement Management, Labor Management,
and Administration.
