Life Cycle Management for Procurement of Construction Projects

The main intention of this thesis is to signify Life Cycle Management while procurement of Construction Project from purchasing a single Asset ( e.g - a boiler) to managing a group of assets ( e.g- a township) .These thesis report mainly emphasis on reducing overall ownership cost by promoting sustainability taking into consideration social, cultural and economical factor keeping whole life cycle thinking of a project at every spectrum while making procurement decisions for construction projects.

this paper clarifies the important of life cycle cost on building projects and explains the effect of accuracy estimate of the total life cycle cost on building projects. In addition, this paper aims to provide general concepts about the field of life-cycle costing. The purpose is to provide the essential backgrounds which will assist the stakeholders to understand the benefits of implementation of life cycle cost in the building projects. KeywordsLife cycle cost, Building projects, estimation and accuracy.

The construction sector is complex and fragmented and has, therefore, a tendency to resist change to becoming more sustainable. Clients and project managers are facing barriers to implement sustainability, e.g. lack of pro-active sustainable measures, conflicts in real and perceived costs and inadequate implementation expertise. One major measure to handle and to be more pro-active by the client is in the phase of procurement of a project, both regarding the design team and concerning the contractor. This paper examines two case studies within the process of construction works, but at the opposite ends of the process; a procurement of contractors for an exploitation project and a procurement of a contractor for dismantling of a former power station. The case of the exploitation project shows a need of a very carefully performed specification of land use and design specifications with clearly formulated contracting conditions. The case in question failed to reach a reasonable level o...

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is one of the goals and key pillars of the construction management science because it comprises many of the functions and processes necessary, which assist organisations and agencies to achieve their goals. It has therefore become important to design and control assets during their whole life cycle, from the design and planning phase through to disposal phase. LCCA is aimed to improve the decision making system in the ownership of assets by taking into account all the cost elements including to the asset throughout its life. Current application of LCC approach is impractical during misunderstanding of the advantages of LCC. This main objective of this research is to show a different relationship between capital cost and long-term running costs. One hundred and thirty eight actual building projects in United Kingdom (UK) were used in order to achieve and measure the above-mentioned objective of the study. The result shown that LCC is one of the most significant ...

This paper explores the sustainable factors, which are taken into consideration by engineers during the holistic process of building Projects Life Cycle (LC) in the Gaza Strip. A total of 53 sustainable factors (economic, social, and environmental)) were identified from extensive literature review and were modified according to the pilot study. These factors are classified into 5 project LC phases: inception phase, design phase, construction phase, operation phase, and demolition phase. A questionnaire survey is adapted in this study. A total of 119 questionnaires were distributed randomly to engineers working in construction projects in the Gaza Strip to solicit their opinions regarding taking sustainability concepts into consideration. The results revealed 10 most important sustainable factors that were taken into consideration by engineers in the LC phases of the construction projects in Gaza Strip, which are classified as follows: 4 factors are classified under the inception phase, 3 factors under the design phase, 2 factors under the construction phase, and 1 factor under operation phase. The most common factors that are taken in consideration are: provision of services, standardization, community amenities, materials choice, and site security.

Life Cycle Management (LCM) has been employed in the management of construction projects worldwide for many years in order to reduce whole life cost, time, risk and for improving the service to owners. Despite an increasing enthusiasm to propose the LCM practice as a useful approach in an environmental context, the adoption and application of LCM in the construction projects remain limited. LCM can be implemented in various stages of a project lifecycle starting from project initiation phase until the project closure phase. However, in Malaysia LCM is still considered as a new practice and seems ambiguously understood in the construction industry in Malaysia. Objective: This study is to assess the level of implementation and different tools of LCM at various stages of construction projects. Results: The quantitative data for this study was gathered through questionnaire surveys among the contractors, consultants, architects and developers. The data obtained was analyzed using frequency analysis and cross tabulation analysis. From the analysis, it was found that although 102 (80%) of the respondents mentioned that they have applied LCM in their project but yet the level application is very low. Only sometimes in the project LCM is applied. Further, LCM is not applied throughout the lifecycle, various practitioner apply it partially and in a certain phase of project lifecycle. Conclusion: Life Cycle Management (LCM) application in infrastructure projects should be promoted to achieve it potential benefits through enforcement from the clients.

Modern societies have demonstrated a great deal of concern with the improvement of social, economic and environmental indicators targeted to the top of the premises of sustainability. Civil engineering construction is constantly cited as one of the largest promoters of strong environmental impacts, ranging from the great use of natural resources (water, energy and materials) at the stages of construction, use and maintenance, and encompassing the problems related to the issue of disposal of materials during the demolition or disassembly at the end of the useful life of buildings. This work deals with the sustainable environmental management related to the construction industry, using a methodology known as life cycle assessment (LCA) and its respective tools, which aim to optimise various aspects, from the extraction of raw materials to the final disposal of waste generated on construction. The methodology presented here is complex and this paper aims to provide an initial contact b...

This study assesses the benefit of sustainable construction and the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) in the South African construction industry to achieve sustainable construction. The data used in this was derived from both primary and secondary resources. The primary data was collected through a questionnaire approach. The study revealed that LCA could be used for product comparison, product development, formulating of product eco-labels, evaluating construction processes and decision-making processes in the construction industry concerning materials. Furthermore, the study revealed that LCA has various strengths, challenges and weakness, this is due to the fact that there is a requirement of the high quality of knowledge and data when conducting a detailed LCA study. However, this study revealed that life cycle thinking is a cornerstone for developing policies and programs, which meet sustainability criteria and there is a great room for the development and use of LCA in the So...
