Introduction
Construction Management (CM) is a professional service devoted to oversight of project
planning, design and construction from start to finish by using advanced project
management techniques. The goal is to monitor time ,cost and performance of projects
— including project execution, design-build, CM At-Risk and Public Private
Partenariates, which can also include project management and project bid management
triangles or' triple constraints.' CM is compatible with all projects delivery systems.
In every company, project management is implemented in all industries (Cha & Kim,
2013). There's no difference in the building industry. Building managers combines
regular project manager's duties and source expertise to perform project management.
Construction administration generally has the following functions:
a. Description of project goals and plans, including range identification, budgeting,
planning, performance criteria specification and project participant choice.
b. Maximize resource productivity by purchasing manpower, equipment and
materials.
c. Implementing different operations by proper coordination and control of the entire
process, including scheduling, design, evaluation, contracting and construction.
d. Efficient communications and conflict resolution mechanisms are established.
Review of the provided plans in Loganholme, Qld for bus repair facility
The analysis of code criteria such as minimum building type, preliminal means for
egress, building of fire resistance specifications, layout of foundations and fire protection
systems requirements is the first phase of the project review. The entire package can be
re-entered for a full Final Building Plan Review once the project drawings and
requirements are completed. If a complete set of building plans and requirements is not
available, you may want to request a CCIS Preliminary construction review to Fastrack
the projects and others managerial activities, such as permit application for a foundation
permit.
The following requirements, sketches and descriptions should be given in order to
complete a thorough review of the building plan.
1. Architectural plans
2. Structural plans
3. Site plan

volume of outside air.
 External air intakes format.
 Installation of ducts including the size of supports and plates.
 Piping and fire spread protection materials and smoke-developed ratings.

Itemized list of the tasks required for constructing bus repair facility and its
surroundings
The Building Manager is responsible for supervising the design from beginning to end.
Depending on the project size and complexities, they can individually manage or

collaborate with other building managers. We prepare, budget and supervise
development. It is the responsibility. We will have to determine during the planning
process what resources to use, how to assign staff and build a project schedule. You
have to interact regularly with everyone else on the plan and the customer. They are
always on-call, as if anything goes wrong with the plan, it is their duty. Because of the
variety of jobs in a construction manager, a number of people have advantages in
implementing cloud-based software that helps them prepare, execute and connect from
start to finish.
The following list of activities summarizes the main tasks to be done ins constructing
the building and its surrounding.
 Processing of land acquisition, holding, or land and upgrading.
 Studies in planning and feasibilities.
 Engineering and architectural design.
 Building, including construction materials, machinery, and labour.
 Financing of construction.
 Land insurance and taxes
 Owner's general office overhead
 Not included in construction equipment and furnishings.
 Testing and inspection.
Project work breakdown structure
A project structure (WBS) is a product-oriented or deliverable grouping of project work
elements displayed in the graphic display to organize and subdivide the overall project
work context. The WBS is a task tool of particular importance. Design and
implementation should be considered and designed to avoid future changes. Because
of its scope to a wide range of projects activities, major evaluations of a WBS involve
both considerable effort and resources. WBSs for projects guided by a project context
should not be confused for other WBS-like systems. A WBS is the key to effective
project management, implementation ,tracking, statusing and monitoring. All the work in
the WBS should be defined, measured, scheduled and cost allocated. The WBS is the
framework and code for all project work (scope, timing, and cost). The WBS therefore
includes the basic size of the project required to achieve the defined technical goals of
the work. WBS is used as a tool for defining, assigning and tracking the entire scope of
work throughout the life cycle of the project.
