Project Information, Volume 1: Preconstruction Phase is a practical reference manual describing the project preconstruction activities in detail. The reader learns the entire preconstruction phase management going through the chronological steps of a typical design-development phase. Junior managers become experts in project management, following the steps described in the paragraphs, sections, and chapters. The process starts when users and owners find a need for a project. The book goes over the procurement phase for a project-management team, PMT, at that time. The book describes in depth how the needs of a project is born, explaining a procedure to translate users’ desires and owners’ visions into a project’s solution summary. The solution is the base for project hierarchical planning, PHP, which finally serves to define a project’s fundamental criteria. Later, owners and PMT review and approve the criteria, advancing to procure, vetting an architectural and engineering team retained for the design-development stages of the preconstruction phase and the schematic, conceptual, and final design package. The book explains the procurement processes for three contract modes—turnkey, design-build, and design-bid-build. The reader studies these three processes even though, in practice, owners select only one mode, which defines the design development. The book describes in detail the design-development process up until the design package translates into a final bid package. The book describes how managers can develop their own project-management procedure, PMP, using guidelines, flowchart samples, and graphics throughout the book, which they can modify on other projects.
