1 INTRODUCTION


Construction planning is a fundamental and challenging activity in the management and
execution of construction projects. It involves the choice of technology, the definition of work tasks,
the estimation of the required resources and durations for individual tasks, and the identification of any
interactions among the different work tasks. A good construction plan is the basis for developing the
budget and the schedule for work. Developing the construction plan is a critical task in the management
of construction, even if the plan is not written or otherwise formally recorded. In addition to these
technical aspects of construction planning, it may also be necessary to make organizational decisions
about the relationships between project participants and even which organizations to include in a
project.

This document outlines a Construction Management plan for the construction of a residential
compound situated in Galati on Apollon Street. The project contains 5 buildings, each with 2 floors and
are of a duplex format. The materials used for the structure of the building are reinforced concrete for
the foundation and for the superstructures structural elements and wood for the roof.

This plan documents the overall construction planning at the Project application stage for the
above mentioned works.

The content of this document include a brief description of the project, planned project
sequencing, an overview of the plan for the project, and risk management planning.


2 SCOPE OF PROJECT


The scope of the project is profit from selling the buildings for at least double of their initial
value, because of the site surface and landscape.


3 OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The objective of this project is the realization of 5 buildings, each having 2 floors (344.54 m
2
,
172.27 m
2
the first floor and 172.27 m
2
the second floor, from 2500 m
2
the entire surface of the site).
They will have at the first floor a living room, kitchen, bathroom, hall, lobby and closet, and at the

3.1 Management activities

3.1.1 Project management

3.1.1.1 Development of the scheduled project

A schedule for every activity and requirement for the completion of the project has been
elaborated in the form of a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project 2010.


3.1.1.2 Land acquisition

A suitable site must have the following characteristics:
Street access from two directions;
Big enough to host the building and to respect the minimum distance from the other
neighboring buildings according to the law;
The optimum width and depth for the optimal placement and access of the building;
Must have all the necessary facilities: running water, electricity and linkage to the water waste
disposal system (sewer).
Must be in accordance with the scope of the project.
The site on Apollon Street mostly fulfills all the above requirements

3.1.1.3 Urban Master plan

The Master plan is a tool to guide and manage the growth of cities in a planned manner. The soul
of a master plan lies in its implementation framework. Planning consists of making choices among the
options that appear open for the future, and then securing their implementation, which depends upon
allocation of necessary resources. All this planning exercise takes the form of a document called master
plan which is one of the important tools to guide and manage future growth of the cities in a planned
manner. This project activities are in accordance with Galatis master plan.

3.1.1.4 Design

An auction is conducted for an architectural and design firm to handle the design of the building.
The criteria for choosing the firm are:
Proof of quality (ISO 9001)
Costs of the project;
Time duration;
Originality of the proposed solutions by respecting the overview of the neighboring
constructions.
The overall aspect of the building (the beneficiary will be consulted for this point).

Respecting the criteria of the auction, the firm which will handle the design of the building is SC
Ideal Design Team SRL.

The design activities should include Prefeasibility studies, Feasibility studies and the Technical
project.

3.1.1.5 Execution of the project

An auction is conducted for choosing a firm to conduct the erection of the building. The criteria
for choosing the firm are:
The firm must have the following certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 18001 ISO 14001 OHSAS
18001;
Similar experience, at least ten similar buildings ;
Technological competence;
For auctioning their services the firms must formulate a letter of bank guarantee.

Respecting the criteria of the auction, the firm which will handle the execution of the project is
Vega 93 SRL.

3.1.1.6 Site planning and control

Access to the site must be ensured for material supplies, labor and other equipment. Facilities
must also be ensured, such as, water, link to the water waste disposal system and electricity. Because
the space allows it, there will be a provisory road build from the main street to the side of the
construction because. Some materials that are going to be used, can also be stored on site.

3.1.1.7 Supervision of works

Construction Supervision consists in activities aimed at overall supervision of the designs and
construction carried out by the contractor. Construction Supervision is responsible for controlling the
Executive design drawn up by the design company, for the proper and timely execution of the work, for
verifying that the materials used have received prior approval from the designer, controlling times and
progress of the work on site, for verifying the progress of works. Furthermore, it verifies that what has
been formally agreed, and/or declared by the contractor in the approved Quality Plan is adhered-to in
the construction of the works. Monitoring the designs is done via dedicated figures within the Project
Team as well as with the support of local Specialist Units. Construction Supervision further manages
environmental issues in compliance with relevant rules and contractual agreements.

3.1.1.8 Payments

Payments are made according to the contracts between the investor and the contractor, design and
execution as follows:
A cash advance representing 50% of the contract value.
If failure to complete a certain phase on time, the firm will be awarded a penalty of 5% of the
total contract.
If the investor fails to pay on time, the investor will have to pay a penalty of 5% of the total
contract.
The date for the next phase will be lengthened with 3 days for each day of the delay in payment.

The rules of payment are applied to the Construction Company.

3.1.1.9 Handing over the project to the beneficiary

Reception of the project consists in drafting the necessary documents for early or late finish.

~ 5 ~

3.1.2 Quality management

For the assurance of the desired quality of the construction regular checks must be made in order
to verify that the quality of the construction process is the same as those required in the project, the
workers do their job properly, the structural members have the dimensions as stipulated in the project,
the weather conditions are proper for the process.

3.1.3 Environment protection

The environmental impact of the new building should be kept at a minimum level. The ground
water must not be polluted by the construction process.

3.1.4 Labor security

A briefing of the workmen regarding the rules and regulations must be made and ensuring the
compliance and enforcement of these rules. Also the drafting of the necessary papers if there are work
accidents must be done.
