Course detail

Construction Realization

FAST-BW05Acad. year: 2011/2012

The subject deals with preparation and manner of construction of buildings and building complexes. The building construction is not only a matter of the design plan and static calculation. It is a complex process involving investment intention, its technical preparation, economic calculations, building permit procedure, building technology preparation and the resulting phase – the construction realisation.
The subject dealing with a structure and coordination of preparation, partial and stage building processes into a complete and sophisticated system the result of which is a completed construction building or their assembly, i.e. construction. These are predominantly activities performed by a civil engineer – technologist or they are directly linked with the technology structure, time links, coordination by the solution of the production space and operational control of the building operation. They can be mathematically modelled, optimised and up-dated. The results of the preparation are the contents of the building-technology design plan.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

By mastering the objectives of the Realization of Constructions course the students will understand the construction process in its full complexity. The course will teach them to understand the pre-production, erection and user processes from the point of view of all common parties in the construction procedure. An integral part of the course objectives is to acquire knowledge in the area of legislation, time planning, site plants, financial requirements and safety rules.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of parties and process of the construction

Co-requisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Not applicable.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Requirements for successful completion of the subject are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction into the subject (investment policy, investment process and parties to the construction, public hearing related with the construction main regulations, system of building authorities, territorial planning
2. Public hearing - proceedings on the building location, documents for general planning procedure, concerning the building building permit procedure, documents for building permit procedure
3. Tender process (ways of contracting public tenders, inquiry, proposal, selection of contractor, contract relations and contract for work)
4. Site construction processes (construction division, production processes, space structure, stadium processes, course of construction, production process in case of an above-ground structure)
5. Supplier systems in construction (division of construction into phases, investor method of construction, construction with complete higher supplies, turn-key construction)
6. Jobs in the production process (taking over of the site, work acceptance, building log, acceptance procedure, building approval procedure)
7. Modelling of the construction time structure (construction period, technology standard, time schedule, cyclograph)
8. Methods of network planning (edge network graph, junction network graph, construction-technology network graph)
9. Network analysis (Terms and relations, principals of network analysis, source analysis, cost analysis, construction organization plan)
10. Price calculation (price of building works, calculation formula, material, wage piece rate wage, time wage, costs of machinery, other direct costs, indirect costs, profit, value added tax)
11. Operation control on constructions (control activities in construction process, control methods, rights and obligations of site managers and foremen, other activities implemented on sites, production quality, environment protection)
12. Modelling of construction production area (operational, site plants, sanitary facilities, principles of construction plants planning, economy of the site plant design)
13. Safety and health protection at work (principal requirements for securing of safety of work on sites, principals of safe execution of works)

Work placements

Aims

To teach the student to understand complexity of construction project at the time of preparation, public discussion, realization itself and passing over and utilization of constructions. After passing the subject the student knows rights and obligations of the parties in the construction, he has an overview of on basic regulations related to the construction process and its public discussion, he has basic overview on time and financial planning of constructions and safety risks during the construction realization.
