The management and delivery of construction projects are simply referred to as construction engineering. A ‘construction’ is defined as any building project used for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. Construction engineers are civil engineers who have received training in the field of construction management.

They plan construction activities, supervise the installation of structural elements, and inspect completed building projects. Construction engineers collaborate with architects and engineering technicians on building design and problem-solving on the project.

Most construction engineers make use of computer-aided design software to design infrastructures like residential housing, bridges, skyscrapers, industrial warehouses. They also apply their project management skills to gather detailed reports on the feasibility and cost estimation of a construction project.

However, the demand for construction engineers is solely dependent on the state of the construction industry in each country.

Differences Between a Construction Engineer And a Civil Engineer

It is crucial to differentiate between the responsibilities of a construction engineer and that of a civil engineer. One of the most significant distinctions is that civil engineers typically concentrate on the design, analysis, and planning of construction projects.

While a construction engineer may be involved in these processes, their core responsibilities are related to project execution and on-site management. Construction engineers oversee the day-to-day construction process, ensuring that all designs and plans are followed. The following are some general responsibilities of a construction engineer.

Creating budgets for the construction process and reporting back to stakeholders Assembling high-tech equipment and machinery Supervising a team of construction professionals Overseeing the safety and progress of the building process Using computer software to modify design specifications Ultimately, construction engineers play a more crucial, hands-on role in the successful completion of major building projects.

G & G GLOBAL’s engineering expertise includes traditional disciplines, architectural, civil, electrical, mechanical and structural engineering, as well as process and mechanical design for pressurized equipment, piping engineering and I&C.

G & G GLOBAL integrates engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, maintenance (EPFCM), and project management. The project design process incorporates early involvement of construction and commissioning expertise, to ensure projects are designed to be constructed and operated in the most efficient manner.

Simply put, the procurement process is how we go about acquiring the goods and services we need. When we’re shopping for arugula or a pair of jeans, procurement is pretty straightforward. But when we’re looking to acquire all of the goods and services needed to get a major construction project up and running, the plot thickens.

Construction management procurement is defined as being the art and manner of securing necessary goods and services with an eye to: timeliness acceptable quality (which varies considerably from one client to the next) respect of financial parameters (reasonable pricing) minimizing and mitigating risk effective communication and administration and last but certainly not least, ensuring clients’ satisfaction by understanding their dreams. All of this can be subsumed under the word value–getting Clients what they need at an acceptable price, reliable schedule and without unnecessary risk. The process effectively begins with the procurement of the initial project team.

Basic steps in project procurement management

In construction management, by definition procurement encompasses securing all of the goods and services needed to bring the construction project to completion in a timely and satisfying manner. Typically, the management of a specific deliverable project is laid out in several steps:

The official procurement management plan is created here (which is part of the overall construction management plan.)

Requests for proposals (RFP) and bid evaluation. The construction manager’s experience with local designers, engineers, contractors and suppliers is invaluable.

Awarding and signing contracts (project contract management). When service providers, contractors and suppliers have been chosen or procured, construction procurement schedules spell out how and when the various resources are to be managed with appropriate milestones clearly defined. Construction management software greatly facilitates this and the following step.

Administration and monitoring of the building process, including management of contract compliance, change orders, submittals, on-site quality evaluations, tracking performance, etc.

Closing out the contract and debriefing.

To get a feel for the complexity of procurement management, let’s take a closer look at the bidding process in construction projects. It begins with preparing the design documents for the required work, and continues with the RFP documentation, an invitation to tender. Different service providers, contractors and suppliers submit their tenders or proposals, upon which the merits of the potential bids are discussed and weighed. Once a provider has been chosen, terms are settled, the contract is ratified, and the service is executed, or the goods provided. It isn’t rocketing science, but it’s involved, because every last nail has to be specified and procured, and someone has to hammer it in.

Note that while the definitions of procurement and contract management are different, they go hand-in-hand. Contract management is the art of creating clear documents where each party knows exactly what’s expected of them, the amount of remuneration, and means of assessing whether or not the contract is being respected are clearly defined.

A procurement management plan maps out precisely how the procurement process is to be managed, and there will be a contract for each procured service or product to make sure everyone’s on the same page. Procurement is a critical component of supply chain management. It takes on different flavors depending on whether the contractor is involved in design or not. For large projects, the merits of collaborative construction and strategic partnering are self-evident.
