SIX STANDARD PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
SIX STANDARD PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Design Phase
Time to sit down and talk design. This is still a preliminary
stage, which means that nothing is guaranteed at this point.
Nevertheless, design is the stage where usually the bidding
process begins.
SIX STANDARD PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Pre-construction Phase
This broad category enshrouds all the work in a
construction project before the actual physical construction.
When the project planning is finalized, the design is
streamlined, and the supplies and labor are assembled.
SIX STANDARD PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Procurement Phase
Now it’s time for the project team to order and obtain materials,
equipment, and workforce.
SIX STANDARD PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Construction Phase
This is when the shovel hits the ground, transforming the empty
field into a skyscraper.
SIX STANDARD PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Post-construction Phase
The actual construction is complete, but the project has not yet
been handed over to the owner. If proper attention is not given
to this phase, it can lead to many problems for the owner.
The steps we have gone over above are a logical view of a
construction project from start to finish. A construction project
is a temporary endeavor involving the pooling together of
diverse resources. The construction process is a linear process
comprising a chain of tasks, tools, and decisions. Almost all
construction projects are unique, but they all follow the same
cycle from start to finish.
A great pillar in the
construction process is
communication between the
stakeholders. They streamline the
construction project and ensure all
phases are developed and
completed on time.

DEFINITIONS
Estimators
refer to the estimated costs for the
known-unknowns as cost contingency or
contingency allowance.
Contingency Allowance
is designed to cover items of cost which
are not known exactly at the time of the
estimate but which will occur on a
statistical basis.

Predicted from past experiences
Simple estimated by considering the

Importance
To account for errors and omission in the
construction documents.
To act as the backup for the modification
or changes in the scope of the project.
To pay for the unexpected contingencies
Benefits of securing
contingency costs:
∙ Ensured that the final account is
within the budget.
∙ Reduce the risks of cost overrun.
