9.30am - 10.30am: Fundamentals of Construction Planning
Speaker: Tejas Sura - MBA, MS (USA) PfMP, PMP & Region Mentor Western Asia (Region 11) Project Management Institute
Construction planning is a fundamental and challenging activity in the management and execution of construction projects. It involves the choice of technology, the definition of work tasks, the estimation of the required resources and durations for individual tasks, and the identification of any interactions among the different work tasks. A good construction plan is the basis for developing the budget and the schedule for work. Developing the construction plan is a critical task in the management of construction, even if the plan is not written or otherwise formally recorded. Also as per the prevailing laws, builders and developers are required to assess a construction plan that takes into account all relevant aspects of demolition or building work

Speaker: Jay Shah - Director Access Architects
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are planned, designed, built, and managed. BIM is an intelligent model-based process that provides insight to help you plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. BIM involves representing a design as combinations of "objects" – vague and undefined, generic or product-specific, solid shapes or void-space oriented (like the shape of a room), that carry their geometry, relations and attributes. BIM design tools allow extraction of different views from a building model for drawing production and other uses.

Cost estimating is one of the most important steps in construction planning. A cost estimate establishes the base line of the project cost at different stages of development of the project. A cost estimate at a given stage of project development represents a prediction provided by the cost engineer or estimator on the basis of available data. Also, this session will provide guidance for improving pre-bid, bid review and evaluation policies and procedures to improve competitive bidding procedures
