Module No. 3
MANUALS OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS

Topic:

The Practice of Civil Engineering


Classification of Engineering Services
The Selection of the Civil Engineer
Charging for Civil Engineering Services
Total Project Cost

Time Frame: 3 hours

Introduction:

The manual addresses the procurement of civil engineering service for a quality project.
Quality by definition is one satisfactorily meeting both the expectations of the client or employer
and the requirements of the project. It requires professional dedication, effort, adequate time
for investigation, planning and innovation, fair compensation, and appropriate authority and
responsibility. It cannot be achieved only by effort at the beginning or end of a project. These
efforts must be conscious, continuous, and consistent throughout all phases of a project.

The needs for professional civil engineering services vary, and the civil engineering
firms that meet these needs vary in organizational structure, size, and capability. Many civil
engineering firms provide comprehensive services to the client, while other firms specialize in
areas of engineering, such as geotechnical or structural, and transportation, water and
construction management, and provide their services to a prime engineer, architect, or owner.

The selection and engagement of a Civil Engineer is one of the most important
decisions to be made during the development of an engineering project. No two Civil
Engineers have the same training, experience, capabilities, personnel, workloads, and
particular abilities.

Combinations of methods of payment for different phases of the contract may be used.
The method or combination methods used depends upon the nature, scope, and complexity
of services required by the client.

The probable total capital cost, often used to establish budgets for a typical project, is
made up of: professional engineering costs; construction cost; legal and land costs; owner's
costs, including project administration, staffing, financing, and other overhead; and
contingency allowance for unknowns.

Objectives:

At the end of this chapter, the students are expected to:


1. Elaborate the practice of civil engineering;
2. Classify the different civil engineering services;
3. Plan the selection of the civil engineer in construction projects;
4. Prepare the charging for civil engineering services; and
5. Present the possible total cost of a construction project.

Self-Evaluation Test:

Answer the following questions:


1. In not less than 70 words, describe the obligations of the civil engineer to the client and
vice versa.
2. Explain at least 3 classifications of engineering services.
3. Enumerate the basis for the selection of a Civil Engineer for a construction project.

Review of Concept:

Quality results from team effort and is measured by the degree of satisfaction of all parties involved.
Few civil engineering firms are qualified to provide complete service for all projects, and
the use of associate professionals to provide specialized services is common.
Selection of the most qualified Civil Engineer for a specific project will result in a well-
planned and designed economical, and successful project.
Probable total cost is a major concern of the client throughout the planning design, and
construction phases of a project.
