Planning and Monitoring
Construction projects can be difficult to manage. There are
several stakeholders, phases, responsibilities, and tasks
involved. It’s challenging to make sure everything runs
smoothly.
1. Client:
The client, also known as the owner or employer,
holds the authority to determine the type of contract
to be utilized for a specific construction project. The
client is responsible for establishing the legally
binding terms and conditions within the contractual
agreement.
2. Contractor:
The contractor is an individual or a firm that
undertakes the execution of construction projects
under a contractual arrangement. Contractors are
hired directly by the client or by third-party entities to
deliver independent professional services.
11
Example: In this project, the client has their own
construction company.
3. Authority Engineer:
The Authority Engineer is responsible for reviewing
and approving the contractor's quality assurance plan.
This role includes verifying the sources and quality of
materials used in the construction process.

construction work, thereby significantly reducing the time
required to complete the project. This model is based on the
Design & Build (DB) approach.
2. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Contracts
In a PPP contract, the private entity undertakes the
construction of the project and then transfers ownership
back to the client upon completion. The private party is
responsible for raising the necessary funds for the project.
The client begins making payments to the developer once the
project becomes operational and generates revenue. Since
the private entity finances the project, it is granted the right
to collect revenue, typically through toll collection, as a
means to recoup its investment. The client’s involvement in
this model is primarily limited to sharing revenue from the
toll collected by the private entity. This model operates on
the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT)
framework.
3. Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM)
The Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) is a combination of
elements from both the EPC and PPP models. In this model,
the government or client is responsible for covering 40% of
the construction costs through five annual instalments
(annuity) during the construction phase, while the developer
must secure the remaining funds. The balance of the
payment is made after the project's completion, based on the
value generated and the assets created. This payment can be
made in the form of variable instalments over time. Unlike
the PPP model, the private entity does not have the right to
collect tolls under this arrangement.

3.3 Phases of Construction Planning
Construction planning is a crucial and complex task in
the management and execution of construction
projects. It involves selecting the appropriate
technology, defining work tasks, estimating the
resources and time required for each task, and
identifying the interdependencies among various tasks.
1. Tendering Stage When the client decides to
initiate a project, a preliminary survey is
conducted by an agency to obtain rough estimates
of key parameters. Subsequently, tenders are
invited, typically consisting of the following
components:
a. Technical Bidding A technical bid in construction is a
proposal submitted to secure a contract with a
potential client, focusing on meeting all technical
specifications related to products, construction design,
and materials, or their functionally equivalent
alternatives. This bid is based on the detailed technical
documentation, including scaled drawings and
elevation plans, which must be approved and certified
by local planning and building authorities.
b. Financial Bidding A financial bid in construction is a
proposal to fulfill all the technical requirements at the
lowest possible cost. It includes the cost of labor,
construction design, and material availability, ensuring
that the project can be completed within the agreed
14
contract timelines and delivered to the client by the
specified deadline.
2. Scheduling Stage
A. Surveying and Land Acquisition
After securing the bid, the company conducts a land
survey. Construction surveying, also known as
"staking," "stake-out," "layout," or "setting-out,"
involves placing reference points and markers that
guide the construction of new structures like roads.
These markers are usually positioned according to a
coordinate system selected specifically for the project.
Advancements in modern technology have significantly
improved the accuracy and efficiency of surveying.
Historically, surveyors used chains and posts to
measure distances, but this method could not account
for elevation. Today's technology, such as the Global
Positioning System (GPS), can measure not only the
distance between two points but also the differences
in elevation.
B. Logistics Setup
Physical distribution in engineering construction is a
multidisciplinary process involving the procurement,
transportation, warehousing, loading, unloading,
packing, and allocation of materials, equipment, and
other commodities.
Throughout this process, and during both pre-
construction and active construction phases, the
organization must ensure that the right resources are
15
available at the right time, in the correct location, at a
reasonable cost, and with high quality. Therefore, an
optimal site is chosen as the central hub for
construction activities.
C. Financial Breakdown
In developing a construction plan, the primary focus is
often either on cost control or schedule control. Some
projects are divided into expense categories with
associated costs. For more complex projects, both cost
and scheduling over time must be considered,
requiring integrated planning, monitoring, and record-
keeping that address both aspects. In such cases,
combining schedule and budget information is a major
concern.
3. Execution and Monitoring Phase
With the plan and schedule in place, the execution
phase begins. During this phase, the project is
continuously and meticulously monitored by the
planning and monitoring department.
a. Daily Progress Report (DPR)
A construction daily report, or daily log, is a document
that details the events and activities of a single day on
a construction project.
The purpose of these daily reports is to provide a
comprehensive overview of the ongoing construction
project. They include information that stakeholders,
investors, project owners, and contractors need to stay
informed about the project's status. These reports help
16
ensure that all parties are aware of any potential
delays and receive regular updates on progress toward
project completion.
b. Software
In today's fast-paced environment, companies need to
manage multiple projects simultaneously. To do this
effectively, managers seek out software that best suits
their specific project management needs. Primavera
and MS Project are two well-known project
management tools widely used for planning,
scheduling, and organizing project details.
Construction Equipments
17
Machines are a vital resource to the accomplishment
of a construction project. One of the most obvious
problems in construction is how to transport heavy
building materials. Machines provide the solution to
that problem. And there are also many problems like
for excavation we need JCB, for preparing the concrete
we need batching plant etc. The proof of how well the
planner understands the work that must be
accomplished and selects appropriate machines for
that purpose. And the selection of machines also
decides that company made a profit or sustains loss.
The list of construction project equipment is given
below:
1. Backhoe & Excavators
Backhoe is another widely used equipment which
suitable for multiple purposes. The name itself
indicating that the hoe arrangement is provided on the
back side of vehicle while loading bucket is provided in
the front. This is well useful for excavating trenches
below the machine level and using front bucket
loading, unloading and lifting of materials can be done.
Bulldozers are another type of soil excavating
equipment which are used to remove the topsoil layer
up to particular depth. The removal of soil is done by
the sharp-edged widemetal plate provided at its front.
This plate can be lowered and raised using hydraulic
18
pistons. These are widely used for the removal of weak
soil or rock strata, lifting of soil,etc.

3. Steel Bar Bender
It is a machine that is used to bend bars made of steel
and other heavy metals. These machines enable you to
bend heavy steel bars at accurate angles. This is used
as it saves time, can bend bars with accuracy, and
provides a uniform bending due to which bars don’t
develop cracks.
It is capable of bending steel bars from 0 to
180degrees.

5. Transit Mixture
It is used to transport concrete mortar from aconcrete
batching plant.
As per code agitation speed should be 2-3 RPM &
mixing speed in range of 10-20 RPM. CAPACITY: 7

The lifting arm is usually articulated to allow lifting and
reduction as required. Generally, this is achieved
through a system of cables or hydraulic mechanisms,
and the whole structure may be coupled to a support
to provide more stability during its operation.
8. Concrete Pumper
Pumping the concrete through vertical pumps is
limited to a certain uplift capacity of pump only. After
that, concrete cannot be placed around. So, the
vertical pump is connected with the static pump. When
the concrete is pushed, it travels throughout the
boom placer and at the top there is a 360O rotation
wherein one can displace the concrete all around.
Capacity: 100 to 500 Tones Per Hour.
Foundation
22
Combined Footings
When two or more columns are closely situated,
combined footings are employed. These foundations
create a continuous support system. They spread the
load between the columns and reduce the risk of
differential settlement.
Cantilever or Strap Footings
In situations where one part of the building is
adjacent to another structure or footing, these types
of footings are used. They provide support to the
load-bearing walls while avoiding interference from
nearby elements.
Raft or Mat Foundations
These foundations are utilised when the soil has poor
bearing capacity or when the superstructure load is
distributed extensively throughout the entire
footprint area. Raft or mat foundations are designed
to reduce uneven settlements and ensure stability.
Deep Foundations
Unlike shallow foundations, which are placed closer
to the surface, deep foundations are used when the
depth from the ground surface to the underside of
the foundation exceeds five times the width of the
foundation. They are suitable for heavy structures or
when the soil near the surface is not strong enough.
Pile foundations, pier foundations and caisson
foundations are the primary types of deep
foundations.
23
Pile Foundations
These foundations are made up of long, slender
structural elements called piles. Piles are driven deep
into the ground to transfer the load of the structure
to stronger, more stable soil or rock layers.
Pier Foundations
Similar to pile foundations, pier foundations consist of
cylindrical or rectangular columns that are drilled or
driven deep into the ground to bear the load of the
structure.
Caisson Foundations
Caisson foundations are used when the load of the
structure needs to be transferred to lower layers of
soil or rock. They are constructed by excavating a
shaft, placing a reinforcement cage, and filling it with
concrete to form a watertight structure.
24
Raft foundations are normally used in places without strong
soil, like soft clay or sand - they float on the soil and can be
good to use where other foundation types wouldn’t work.

3. Cost-Effective: In many cases, raft foundations can be
more cost-effective compared to deep foundations such
as piles, especially for large structures.
4. Time-Efficient Construction: The construction process for
raft foundations is typically faster compared to deep
foundations, resulting in time savings during project
execution.

by the wet concrete and provide stability during the curing
process. Furthermore, properly designed and installed
formwork also reduces the risk of cracks and other defects in
the concrete.

Advantages of formwork construction
The varied advantages of formwork construction
make it a necessity when it comes to building
concrete structures. Here are the top seven
advantages of using formwork in concrete
construction:
Ensures accurate shape and dimensions of the
concrete structure.
Provides support and stability during the curing
process.
Reduces the risk of cracks and defects in the
concrete.
Allows for efficient construction and faster
completion of projects.
Offers flexibility in design and customisation.
