Abstract

Pre-project planning has a significant impact on the outcome of a construction project. CII assembled task force #39 to study pre-project planning in the construction of capital facilities. This source document presents a model that is the culmination

Key Findings

This model breaks the project life cycle into four distinct stages: business planning, pre-project planning, execute project, and operate facility. The project planning phase includes the first two stages with a focus on stage 2 with these four steps:

Organize for pre-project planning
Select project alternatives
Develop a project definition package
Decide whether to proceed with project

The tasks are represented by the functional boxes in the pre-project planning model that is explained in the research. (SD-94, p.1)
