Construction planning is a specific process in construction where we lay out how we will manage and execute a construction project, from designing the structure to ordering materials to deploying workers and subcontractors to complete various tasks. A construction plan lists out each step that it will take to achieve the desired result.
Every construction project, no matter how big or small, needs to start with a business management case that lays out the feasibility of the project and what it’s going to take to get the job done.
We usually start by creating a Project Initiation Document (PID), where we will describes what follows before the other.
- People: Number of workers needed, as well as subcontractors such as plumbers and electricians.
- Resources: Necessary materials for this project.
- Budget: Total cost of the project including labor, materials, equipment, fees, and permits.
