RedVector Online Education for Design and Construction

This 3-hour interactive online course discusses the development of a written project plan for 10 project work phases.  Successful projects are accomplished and controlled in three developmental phases, with appropriate review following each phase to ensure that client goals and functional, technical, and regulatory requirements are being met.  The following design and construction phases are discussed and studied in great detail:

1. Preliminary Design
2. Design and Bidding
3. Construction

This is the 12th Chapter of the 'Ultimate Project Manager' course series from PSMJ Resources, Inc. offered through RedVector.com in its entirety.  We strongly recommend that you take Chapter 1 though 11 prior to this course.

There will be a multiple-choice quiz at the end of this course.  You must have Flash Player Version 7 or higher to view some parts of this course. We also recommend you view this course in Internet Explorer.

After completing this course, you will be able to carefully review the Scope of Services and relate the required work to the phases discussed in the Ultimate Project Manager Courses.

This session discusses the development of a written project plan for the following project work phases:

• Schematic Design
• Design Development
• Design and Bidding
• Production Drawings
• Specifications
• Estimating
• Bidding and Award Procedures
• Construction Phase
• Contract Administration

Each project and associated contract must be reviewed for its own requirements to determine the appropriate work breakdown. To assign arbitrary percentages of effort to each phase is misleading, and creates the potential for management errors.
