The road construction project planning must be carefully do so that it may be successfully carried out with regard to Quality, Time, Cost and available Resources.
The four stages of project planning can be identified and are:-
(1) Study of project documents
(2) Site inspection
(3) Project appreciation
(4) Preparation of a project program
STUDY OF PROJECT DOCUMENTS
The first step of the project planning is to be study of project documents, These documents are prepared during tendering process. The original condition can be slightly changed when constructions are are going on( overall 10% max of bidding Value). it should not be vary too much and conditions are made during the bidding stages. Project management specialist are having sound knowledge about project plannings and cost variation rather than original. you can get an idea that how to prepare contract documents for a new project.
The following document are considered as project documents
• The Project scheme (Plans, specification, quantities, estimates)
• The commencement date
• The target completion date
• Details of funds to be allocated.
It should be noted that, during the design stage, comprehensive materials surveys are often carried out on imported and in-situ materials. The purpose of this is to ensure that, as far as possible, construction management problems are foreseen and allowed for in the design and estimated and analyses by various project management tools for the any scale of projects. The construction manager or project manager should avail himself of any such information before making the site
inspection.
Aspects of the project requiring special attention during the site inspection should be noted.
