The Stages of a Construction Project

The Stages of a Construction Project

Comments 0 Comment

Every stage of a construction project has its own steps and processes that need to be followed. Despite the size of a project or scope, these stages still exist.

We wanted to share with you the six big stages of any construction project and a little about them:

  • Project conception – This is the idea of the client’s. This idea includes location and specifications. This stage can take a few days or a few months. Construction workers don’t have much input in this stage.
  • Design – once the idea is in place, it is time to talk design. During this stage, the bidding process occurs. An architect and/or an engineer is leading the design and will make sure the project meets all codes and that the project is functional. There are four different steps within the design stage: programming and feasibility, schematic design, design development, and contract documents.
  • Pre-construction stage – In this stage, the bidding is complete and the contractor has been picked. The project team is put together including a contract administrator, project manager, superintendent, field engineer, and health and safety manager. The team will work with the contractor and go to the site to evaluate and predict any and all issues. City authorities will view the findings.
  • Procurement stage – The team now orders and obtains materials, equipment, and workers.
  • Construction stage – A pre-construction meeting is held to make sure everyone is on the same page. All workers are given a schedule. The project begins.
  • Post-construction stage – The work is done. The building must be inspected.
