Civil • Civil engineering is a
professional engineering discipline
Engineering that deals with the design,
construction, and maintenance of
the physical and naturally built
environment, including public
works such as roads, bridges,
canals, dams, airports, sewerage
systems, pipelines, structural
components of buildings, and

• 1. Develop Constructions Plans


• 2. Oversee Engineering Process
• 3. Manage Construction Projects
• 4. Draft Technical Support Documents
• 5. Communicate with Team Leadership

Five Career Paths for
Construction
Management
1. Facilities Manager

• Facilities managers ensure that an organization has the most


suitable working environment for employees and their varying
work activities, plus they are involved in crucial planning and
daily operations in relation to a building and its premises.
2. Site Engineer

They determine locations for above and below


ground infrastructural installations that are related to
construction operations.
3. Building Surveyor

They record and submit information concerning building


defects, building dilapidation, needed repairs, preventative
maintenance issues, sustainability of structures, restoration
suggestions, building regulation law and other construction-
related issues.
4. Building Services Engineer

Building services engineers maintain the services


that allow a building to function as it should. They
maintain existing building operations as well as
design and install improvements to the system.
5. Sustainability Consultant

Sustainability consultants are involved in the promotion


of sustainable solutions in relation to the infrastructure
of building environments and engineering divisions.
Five Phases of
Construction Life Cycle
A feasibility test
examines whether the
proposed solutions align
with the main INITIATION
objectives.
PLANNING

Planning is key to the successful


management of a single location or
multi-location project. At this point in
the construction life cycle, your team
identifies the scope of the work and
develops a road map. Identify the
resources needed and the strategy of
producing them.
IMPLEMENTATION/EXECUT
ION

This is where most of your time should be


spent. A project plan has to be put into
practice. Effective communication plays a
huge role during execution. Ensure that
the budget stipulated in the planning stage
is followed.
PERFORMANCE AND MONITORING

This stage happens simultaneously with the


implementation process. Performance and
monitoring ensure that every item aligns with the
project schedule. It is, therefore, a regular phase
that ought to be revisited during execution.
CLOSING
The final step is important as it offers the
deliverables to the client. Review the punch-list to
see that all weak areas have been accomplished.
Inform your team and hand over the documents to
your franchise operations.
